The Timekeeper 2000 looks for updates in our server every time you open it, always install every update when available, if an update is available click OK on the update window so you can have the latest version of the software available. 2. Time Clock to PC Communication After installing the TimeKeeper 2000 software, a connection in the Timekeeper 2000 program will be created in order to download the employee in s & out s from the X180 device to the Timekeeper 2000 program. The Bioelectronix -T connects to a computer in 3 different ways: 1. Serial Connection With the serial comport cable provided you can connect the time clock directly to your computer s serial comport. 2. Serial to USB Connection You can connect your time clock using the serial comport cable provided in the box, by adding a Serial to USB converter (Not Provided ) you can connect directly to the USB ports on your computer or laptop, in case your computer does not have a serial port. 3. TCP/IP Network Connection You can connect the time clock to your network router or switch by using an ethernet cable (Not Provided) in order to assign an IP address to the time clock from your network. Note: If you are connecting via TCP/IP in order to configure your network settings (IP address, default gateway, mask ETC ) you must connect the time clock to the serial port and through the program enter the network configuration.
To create a connection follow these steps (A) First we need to set the communication method on your Bioelectronix time clock, toeither RS232 Comport or TCP/IP LAN Network. (B) Press the Status /Esc key on your time clock until the screen displays On duty or Off duty. (C) Press the Menu key and the following screen will be displayed. Enter the factory default password 8888 under Admin PWD & press OK (D) Scroll down and select Setup using the < or > keys and press OK (D) Scroll down and select Comm using the < or > keys and press OK, then select the communication method, either RS232 for serial comport or serial to USB port connection, or select TCP/IP if you are going to connect using a Ethernet/LAN network, after making your selection press OK (D) If you selected TCP/IP as the communication method, then you will need to program the IP settings from your network to the time clock. To do this under Setup scroll down to Network and press OK, then enter the setting parameters from your Network. Note: Ser will be your network server s IP address, or the IP address of the computer which has the timekeeper 2000 software installed in it & will be used to connect to the time clock.
After setting up the communication method on your time clock, then you need to set up your communication method on your Timekeeper 2000 software, and follow these steps below. 12345 A. Open the Timekeeper 2000 program, type the password and click Accept B. Click on the Reports Tab C. Once inside the Reports Tab section click on Device to PC Communicator
D. Click Add in the communicator window E. After Clicking Add the following window will display. Follow These Steps to Connect Using Serial or Serial to USB Connection Only: In the Mach No. & Mach Name Fields you must enter the time clock s serial number which is located on the sticker in the back of the time clock with a barcode (Example 22601813) you do not need to add 2 zeros before the number. In the Comm field you must select the type of communication you are going to use, Select Com if you are going to connect using the Serial comport cable provided, then under Com Port enter the com port number assigned to the time clock by the computer (Most of the time the com port assigned will be port 1). If you are going to connect using the serial to USB converter select com in the Comm field, then enter the Com Port assigned (You can see what com port is assigned by the computer by going to the control panel / device manager / comport ). For TCP/IP connection go to instruction F. Enter the Serial # of the Time Clock Here 22601813 22601813 Select Com for Serial or Serial to USB Enter the com port number assigned to the time clock here
F. Follow These Steps to Connect Using TCP/IP Ethernet Network Connection: In the Mach No. & Mach Name Fields you must enter the time clock s serial number which is located on the sticker in the back of the time clock with a barcode (Example 22601813) you do not need to add 2 zeros before the number. In the Comm field you must select the type of communication you are going to use, Select LAN if you are going to connect TCP/IP Ethernet network connection. In the IP field enter the IP address assigned to time clock. Enter the Serial # of the Time Clock Here 22601813 22601813 Select LAN for TCP/IP Connection Enter the IP address assigned to the time clock by your network here. After entering all four fields correctly click OK and this window will display: G. Click on the serial number to highlight the connection and Click Connect
H. The Managing password window will now appear on the screen. Enter the managing password, Type 8888 and click OK. This is the factory set password. You can change the password in the settings section of the communicator. 8888 Once you have successfully connected to the time clock you will see the following fields on the communicators filled in indicating a successful connection You can now download records, change setting parameters, set automatic download times, ETC. The help guide in the software will show you how to change all the communicator settings.
3. Synchronizing the Computer s Date & Time with The Time Clock This procedure will sync your computer s date and time to the time clock A. Open The Timekeeper 2000 program and log in. B. Click on the Reports tab. C. Once in reports look for Device to PC Communicator and click on it. This will open the communication window. D. Highlight your connection and connect to your time clock. E. While connected click on Setting Parameters. 1 2 F. Click Time Synchronization 3 G. Click OK to confirm the time synchronization.
