USB to RS232 adapter (PN 41685): For computers with only a USB port.

**Important** Make sure that the TimeTrax software is installed prior

to connecting the TimeTrax unit to the PC. Connect the white 50’

RJ45 cable (fig. D) to the RJ45/DB9 adapter (fig. B) and then connect

the RS232/USB adapter (fig. C) to the back of your PC (fig. A).

STEP II: Test that Windows, COM Port and DB9 are working properly.

• If the hardware is setup correctly, you will need to connect the

loop-back plug included in the shipment to the DB9 that is plugged

into your computer.

• Click the Reconnect Button on your screen.

• If the loop-back plug is found, it indicates that Windows, the COM

Port and the adapter are working properly.

IIa: Test that the Cable is working properly.

• Unplug the white Cat5 cable from the TimeTrax Pro unit and

from the back of the PC.

• Plug them both back in, in the reverse order.

• If this still does not work, replace the white cable with another

Ethernet or Cat5 cable.

IIb: If the LCD displays time and date, test the Time Clock.

• First, try unplugging the unit and letting it sit for a few minutes,

then plug it back into the wall socket.

• If it is still not connecting correctly, you will need to reset the

clock.

NOTE: Resetting the time clock erases all stored punches. To reset the clock,

unplug the unit and hold down the 0 key while plugging it back in. If it does not

connect at this point, the clock needs to be replaced.

Step III: Loop-Back Plug Not Found

• If the loop-back plug is not found, try connecting a USB to RS232

adapter (Pyramid P/N 41685) into the PC and then connecting

the DB9 to the USB adapter.

• If this still does not work, it may be necessary to contact your

computer support personnel.
