Auto-Sync Time Clock

NOTE: The transaction file will automatically be named auto- sync_time_sync_report.html or .txt (see Figure 5-9). The transaction report file created in either html or text format can be easily edited. Every time you create a report file the previous report file will be overwritten. It is recommended to move the report file to a different location if you do not want that to happen.

5.2.3. Advanced Function of Downloading to Auto-Sync Time Clocks

The downloading procedures assume you have read and understand the concepts described in Chapter 4: Auto-Sync Time Clock Operation. These procedures also assume that you have previously configured a clock and created a shared “config.bin” for that clock. This must have been done first for you to have this file to transfer to other clocks. A key feature of the Auto-Sync Utility is that it allows you to perform the Update Configuration function on multiple clocks.

NOTE: Using the Restore function, from the clock Utilities (see Chapter 4) web page will only allow you to download to the one clock that you are connected to.

Connecting to Auto-Sync Time Clock(s) and downloading the configuration information from a “ATVSConfig.bin” file can be accomplished via two methods; “Auto Discovery” and “Manual Discovery”. Auto Discovery is used if you do not know the clock(s) IP Address, while Manual Discovery would be used if you did know the clock(s) IP address. If you should forget a clocks IP address, simply reboot the clock by pressing the Reset button and the clock will flash its IP address as it starts up.

Auto Discovery Procedure for download:

1.Startup the Auto-Sync Utility. All of the discovered Auto-Sync Time Clocks will automatically appear in a list with the Domain, Device Name, IP Address, MAC Address, and Status. Select the desired Auto-Sync Time Clock(s) from the list by clicking in the “Select” column (see Figure 5-11). Click “Select All Clocks” to select/deselect all discovered clocks (this is the default).

2.From the main menu click on View and select the Advanced options Download submenus.
