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. 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 FPT-40 terminal for
normal time and attendance functions.
FPT-40 Setup with Amano Time & Attendance Software
Note: Prior to commencing with the Time & Attendance software
Setup Wizard, Amano recommends that you install the FPT-40
terminal(s), using this FPT-40 Terminal Installation and
Operation Guide. The FPT-40 terminal is installed to
communicate with your PC.
If you are setting up a networked Ethernet FPT-40 terminal,
you may need to obtain the correct IP address from your
network administrator for each Ethernet FPT-40 terminal(s)
connected to the system and enter the IP address in the
Location screen of the Time & Attendance software. Also, see
the section on “Communications Options Menu” for how to
enter a specific IP into your FPT-40 terminal.
