Communicating with the Clocking Terminal via LAN

Select the 'Clock' icon in the top toolbar, followed by the 'Clock Operations' icon on the lower toolbar to open the Clock Utility and communicate with the Clock. 

Downloading Data via LAN

To download data via LAN, ensure the 'Network' Download option is selected and click on the Download Button.

Data will be downloaded and displayed within the utility. If the download is successful, ClockRite will then clear all data from the Clocking Terminal in order to prevent any alterations or amendments being overwritten by the next download. 

Close the Clock Utility, and ClockRite will process the downloaded data. This is normally done in a matter of seconds, but may take longer if there is a lot of data to process. 

Please be patient as this process must not be interrupted. Occasionally the progress bar may show a 'Not Responding' Message. If you see this, don't panic, the utility always sorts itself out in the end.

Downloaded Data is displayed in the  Time & Attendance Screen.

Uploading Data via LAN

The Clock Utility can also be used to send Employee profiles to the Clocking Terminal. Select the 'Clock' icon in the  top toolbar, followed by the 'Clock Operations' icon on the lower toolbar to open the Clock Utility and communicate with the Clock. 

To upload data via LAN, ensure the 'Network' option under 'Send Employees' is selected and click on the Send Button.
