Chapter 3: FPT-40 Setup with Time & Attendance Software See the Time & Attendance User's Guide [AMX-406700] for more detailed operation and setup information for the Time & Attendance software. FPT-40 Terminal Communications The Communications module in the Time & Attendance software can be used to communicate with FPT-40 terminals when setup. Locations and terminals can be configured utilizing the Time & Attendance software Clock tab in the Setup Wizard.
During the installation and setup of the Time & Attendance software the Setup Wizard for Step 8: Clock Setup should be used to setup your FPT-40 terminal; Figure 3-1 Clock Setup from Time & Attendance Software Use Step 8 if: Do you have Terminals other than Access Control Terminals? If Yes, the Time & Attendance software will automatically poll and upload punches from connected FPT-40 terminals each time the software is opened.
Terminal Validation is used to assign employees and Labor Levels to specific FPT-40 terminals in the system. When validation is used, only employees assigned to a particular terminal with the selected Labor Levels can use that terminal. Labor transfers at the terminal can only occur within the selected Labor Levels. Terminal Validations are downloaded to the selected FPT-40 terminals by location from the Communications module.
Special Note: Selecting Holidays will only work with HandPunches (all HandPunch models). The FPT-40 terminal does not contain the capability to ring bells, but you may have a configuration which includes other terminals such as the MTX-15 or HandPunch that does have relays for bell ringing. A Bell schedule requires you to enter the Duration for the bell to ring, the time of day for the bell to ring and the days of the week.
Figure 3-4 Software Setup for Locations Before a Location can be created, a Bell Schedule (optional) and Terminal Validation list should be setup. You may have to create a Location to communicate with your FPT-40 terminals. A Location enables the Time & Attendance software to distinguish and interact with the desired terminal(s). Only one terminal type can be used per Location. If you have more than one terminal type [i.e, FPT-40 and MTX-15], you must have multiple Locations.
To create a new Location in Time & Attendance software for FPT-40 terminal: Step 1. Click the Add button to create a new Location. You will be required to enter a unique Name [yellow required field] that will be used to describe the area or site where a terminal or group of terminals is located. Step 2.
