• Send Maps: This command will download biometric fingerprint templates from the
employee database to the selected terminals. Only templates assigned to the terminals will
be downloaded. Employees are assigned to terminals in the Assignments
•
tab, or by polling.
Because the download operation consists of first clearing all templates from the terminal
and then downloading assigned employee templates, a confirmation dialog box will appear
before this command executes.
Receive Maps: This command will upload employee templates from the selected terminals
and save them in the database. Only templates assigned to the terminals will be uploaded.
Employees are manually assigned to terminals in the Assignments
•
tab.
Clear Terminal Maps: This will clear (delete) all employee templates from the selected
terminals. A confirmation dialog box will appear before this command executes to prevent
the unwanted deletion of employee templates. Click on the Yes button to continue or No
to
cancel the operation.
HP Commands Tab – Clock
This tab allows you to perform the following functions with HandPunch terminals:
• Polling: This operation collects the most recent data from the terminal. When checked,
Time Sync. performs time synchronization between the Host PC and the terminal including
Daylight Saving settings.
• Download: Sends Daylight Saving Time settings, employee assignments and Bell and
Door Schedules to the terminal.
Biometric Maps: The terminal must be polled before performing the following operations.
Polling the terminals will save biometric hand templates for newly enrolled employees,
automatically update the database with templates for employees who have punched at the
terminal, and create terminal assignments for employees that have not yet been enrolled in the
database.
Note: If a newly enrolled employee does not exist in the employee database, then the template
in the terminal will not be saved. If the template data is inadvertently lost, it must be
reassigned to the terminal through the Assignments tab.
Each time an employee punches at the terminal, their hand template will automatically be
updated in the employee database
with the most recent template from the terminal. This feature
is for maintaining accurate hand templates. However, if the employee does not exist in the
employee database, then a message will be displayed in the message window at the bottom of
the tab.
