Simple Troubleshooting Guidelines if HandPunch Is Not Working:

  1. Poll clock one last time to get all punches in the clock currently downloaded to Time and Attendance software.
  2. Check calibration scores at the clock. (Write them down) »How?
  3. Clean the clock with Windex (platen, side mirrors and under nose of clock/black plexiglass where the camera takes picture through) – all external parts.
  4. Reset clock and perform a cold boot (Unplug power cord from clock and plug it back in, all while holding down the little white button in back of clock). Let it restart, then select option “Cold Boot.”
  5. Check calibration scores once again at the clock (Write them down and compare). [Note:A good calibration scores is: (R)+/-2, (C)+/-2, (E)90-120]

  7. If problems persist, contact us at (718) 784-4900 to get a loan unit from us. (Must be under support contract)

Cleaning the HandPunch

Inspect and clean the HandPunch regularly to maintain optimum performance. Clean the platen, side mirror, reflector, and the window above the platen using a clean cloth dampened with ordinary, non-abrasive window cleaner (see Figure 8-1).

Does ATVS Enterprise Software work with the TS-3000i®?

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.
