Time Zone: When a time zone is selected, the time on the T&A device will be automatically synchronized to the standard time in this time zone.

Fixed Transmission Time: Set the time for the device to automatically transmit data to the system, with the format of MM:SS. If multiple time points are set, please separate them with semicolons.

Real-Time Data Upload: Select whether to upload data in a real time.

2. After the setting is completed, click OK to add the device and return to the Device interface. The device list displays the T&A device.

?Note: If an employee is added to a device, when the employee information is uploaded to the server, the information will be automatically synchronized to other devices in the same area as the employee on the server.

2. Automatically adding a T&A device

It is unnecessary to manually add T&A devices of certain models. You can connect such devices to the system via HTTP by completing settings on relevant menus on the devices. After the devices are connected to the Internet, the device list in the system will display the T&A devices. Please refer to relevant user manual for detailed operation procedures.
