Adding Clock Readers

Each 8000 or 9000 Series Clock that you install must have a corresponding clock reader in the WFM application.

To add clock readers:

  1. Select Maintenance > Reader Setup > Readers.
  2. Click Create New Entry to display the Readers Detail page.
  3. Specify the clock reader's name in the Reader field.

    Record this name since you will require this name when configuring Web Services on the clock.

  4. Specify a description of the clock, such as the clock’s physical location, in the Description field.
  5. Select the reader group to which the clock belongs using the Reader Group lookup.
  6. Specify the IP or MAC address of the clock in the IP Address field.
  7. Specify 0 in the Reader Zone field that represents the clock's area.

    This field is required by the WFM application.

  8. Select the clock reader's time zone using the Time Zone lookup.
  9. Specify 8000 or 9000 in the Reader Type field.

    A message saying that your changes have been saved, is displayed.

  10. Click Save.

    A message is displayed which states that your changes have been saved.

    Note: The fields on the Readers Detail page not mentioned in these steps, are not applicable to the 8000.
