Configuring ActaTek Clocks

Configuration Module Options

1. Access the Bells and Whistles options on the toolbar  or from the Tools menu and Options Item.
2. Select the Hardware setting and tick Actatek as the type of hardware used and press OK.

Hardware Devices Options

1. Access the hardware devices from the toolbar  or from the Setup menu and Clocks item.
2. Add a device and choose the Hectrix made and ACTAtek model.
3. Number the clock code numerically starting with one. The number sequence and which number you assign to which clock does not matter.
4. In the trigger tab, you can set the ActaTek clock triggers.There can be up to 40 triggers. A trigger is send to TNA when the user selects the applicable trigger when he clocks at the ActaTek clock. This trigger is then translated by TNA according to the classification, job and status assigned.

5. The status field translates as follows to a clocking

   A=Tna

   B=Access

   C=Tna and Access

   D=Job E=Job and Tna

   F=Job and Access

   G=Job and Tna and Access

   H=Info

6. The details setting allows you to set the default clock type for all employees. Setting can be overridden at employee level.

7. Setting the Fingerprint reader options allows you to default all users to automatch or not . Setting the pin number sets the web password at the same time (this is a hardware constraint). The web password allows user access to the clock’s web interface.

Employee Masterfile behavior and options

1. If a clocking is received for an employee that does not exist, then the employee is added to the TNA database.

2. If the employee is assigned a card or fingerprint that does not exist, then that card or fingerprint is added to the card table (and the employee is updated to use that card.)

3. If an employee record has a _blank_ for card number, name, surname, password etc AND there is a value set in the clock, then the TNA field is updated the next time a Send-Cards, or Send-Employee is performed

4. If the employee value is _not blank_ then the clock value is overriden the next time the details are sent to the clock.

5. Enabling ActaTek clocks from TNA’s Features list, enables the Clock setting in the employee update form.

6. The clock admin level set the clock privileges for the user. For example may he change clock setting or only look at information etc.

7. The password sets the employees pin number and web password for the clock.

8. Fingerprint Security level set the clock’s fingerprint security setting for the employee when the clock reads his or her fingerprint.

9. The fingerprint clear button clears the stored fingerprint from the employee masterfile. This allows the user to recollect a new fingerprint template.

10. The Clock Overides button allows clock overrides on employee level. For example, if the ActaTek clock is set to a non automatch clock, you can set the automatch feature here for the specific employees.

11. NOTE: When send to clock is disabled, the employee will be removed from the specified device completely.
