Auto-Sync Time Clock

NOTE: The restore utility is recommended to be used when the clock has been reset to factory default settings. It can also be used to copy the configuration settings from one clock to a single clock. It is recommended to use the Auto-Sync Utility for Updating the configuration of multiple clocks. The error message “Can’t open FTP connection” will appear if an FTP Server cannot be detected, i.e., has not been setup in the Utility Settings.

4.1.12.3. Reports Utility

The Auto-Sync Time Clock has a built in flash memory, which stores time synchronization transactions. The transaction report settings can be used to view and/or save a report file based on the filter criteria defined on the Settings screen to a text file on an FTP Server. The key function occurring here is the creation of filter criteria for transaction reports that can be viewed and/or saved to a text formatted file. For example, to create a transaction report for successful sync attempts between 8:00am on Nov 17, 2008 and 9:00am on April 29, 2009, select a Transaction Type = Successful, and Date Selection = Date Range, with a Start Date = Nov 17, 2008 and Start Time = 08:00, and End Date = Apr 29, 2009 with End Time = 09:00.

1.Click on the Reports link under Utilities, and the Reports screen will appear to show the Settings tab (see Figure 4-27).

2.Select the Order you want the report data to appear in.

3.Select the Transaction Type you want from the dropdown menu. The choices are: All, Failure, or Successful (default = All).

Figure 4-27. Reports Settings.

4.Select the Date Selection for the transaction report data from the dropdown menu. If Date Range is selected you must enter the Start & End Date and Time for the range by using the drop down menus. The date choices are; Today, Current Week, Current Month, and Date Range (default = Today).
