Frequently Asked Questions
When using ATVS Enterprise software with the TS-3000i® clocks, software will take over control of the following functions at the clock so they will not be set up within the clock:
- Time server setup. As soon as software syncs the TS-3000i®, the Sync Type on the Time Sync
- Settings screen will automatically be changed to ATVS Software Sync.
- Time synchronization schedules (same schedules run on all clocks as the software is the master). The schedules in the TS-3000i® will not be used because the software is now the master for all time synchronization.
- All reporting (transactions, devices, schedules, and status). Software provides a master database.
- SNMP Trap setup for enhanced network monitoring.
- E-mail notification.
However, the following functions will still need to be set up at the clock if you do not want to just use the default settings:
- User Settings - log in name and password.
- Clock Settings - LCD display, and network settings for discovery.
- Clock Information - clock name and description. The clock name will be imported when the clock is added to the software.
- Print General Settings - all general print settings need to be defined.
- Print Lines 1 & 2 - Each clock could have its own print setup if desired, or just ignore and use default.
- DNS Server Settings - need to be modified if default settings are not acceptable.
The main reason to use ATVS Enterprise Software in conjunction with the TS-3000i® Automatic TimeSync Web Clock is to generate centralized reports and connect to the TS-3000i®. If the end user wishes not to load software on their server, then the TS-3000i® Utility CD can be used to generate transaction log data only for the clocks.
