How do I configure the punch clock?
  1. When first started, the punch clock is connected to a network with DHCP (later the punch clock can be configured for a static IP address).
  2. When started, the punch clock’s IP address (ex 192.168.1.234) is displayed for about 30 seconds, take a photo or save this.
  3. Open a web browser, ex Chrome, on a computer connected to the same network as the punch clock.
  4. Enter the punch clock’s IP address in the address bar, enter only the numbers without any additions before or after.
  5. A login page is displayed, fill in “admin” as the user and “admin” as the password, press “Login”.
  6. In the left menu, press “Device url”.
  7. Under the heading “Url” fill in the ClockUrl that the T&A system has provided.
Touch Screen is unresponsive or behaving strangely

Check if you have a power adapter of the brand “RND Power”. (On the back of the power adapter.) If so, it is most likely the source of the fault. If you have a similar punch clock nearby, you can verify the fault yourself by testing with the other punch clock’s power adapter to see if the problem disappears.

Contact Brightec Time to obtain/order a new power adapter.

The RFID reader under the screen shows red light

The RFID reader is broken and needs to be replaced, contact Brightec Time.

The RFID reader under the screen doesn't beep and show Green/Blue light.

The RFID reader under the screen lights up “Green/Blue” and beeps when the tag is scanned but nothing happens on the screen
  1. Check the reader by opening “Wordpad” on the punch clock and scan a tag, if a 10 or 14 digit number appears, the reader is working correctly. Restart the browser and test again.
  2. If no number appears in “Wordpad”, try moving the RFID reader connector to another USB port at the bottom of the punch clock.
  3. If none of the above helps, the reader is probably broken. Contact our support.
The RFID reader under the screen is completely black (does not glow green or blue)

Check that the reader’s USB connector is connected to one of the punch clock’s USB ports.

How do we configure our punch clock to start our time reporting page so that users cannot switch, leave, close down the time reporting page?

By following this guide you can start Chrome automatically at the punch clock startup in so-called Kiosk mode, which means that the page cannot be closed, changed or left via the touch screen.

To close exit kiosk mode, a keyboard needs to be connected to the USB port and then press ALT+F4.

We need to log in as Administrator, what is the password?

When the punch clock is delivered, there is only one user account “admin” with password “password”.

We recommend that the password is changed during installation and noted so that subsequent personnel have access to it years later.
