MTX-15 Terminal Communications
The Communications module in the Time & Attendance software is
used to communicate with MTX-15 terminals when setup. Locations and
terminals can be configured utilizing the Time & Attendance software
Clock tab in the Setup Wizard. Operations from this module include
polling, downloading, setting the time, and viewing specific terminal
settings in a location. Polling, or polled operation, refers to actively
sampling the status of the external terminals by the client Time &
Attendance program. Downloading is utilized to send data to the remote
terminals from the Time & Attendance software.
Note: All operations at the clock including time and employee ID’s
are controlled by downloading information from the Time &
Attendance software.
The following sections describe how to setup the Amano Time &
Attendance Software to communicate with the MTX-15 terminal for
normal time and attendance functions.
