Adding Clock Readers

Each WB2000 Series Clock that you install must have a corresponding clock reader in the WFM application.

To add a clock reader:

  1. Select Maintenance > Reader Setup > Readers
  2. Click Create New Entry.

    The Readers Detail page is displayed.

  3. Specify the clock reader's name in the Reader field. This name is required when configuring Web Services on the clock.
  4. Specify a description of the clock, such as the clock’s physical location, in theDescription field.
  5. Select the reader group to which the WB2000 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, although for the WB2000 the field can be 0.
  8. Select the clock reader's time zone using the Time Zone lookup.
  9. Specify the full path of the directory on the WBCS in which the WB2000 program file is stored in the Rdr Cmi Dlfile field. There are two clock programs you can use with the WB2000, a biometric clock program, and a standard clock program. See Configuring the Data Capture .
  10. Click Save.
  11. Ensure the message “Your changes have been saved” is displayed.
    Note: The fields on the Readers Detail page not mentioned in these steps are not applicable to the WB2000.
