Checking the Status of Unifocus Time Clocks

Description


Online

This icon (a cloud with a check mark) indicates that the Time Clock is online and communicating with the Time & Attendance application.

If the Time Clock loses connectivity, it still allows employees to clock in and out, but the Time Clock does not allow users to enroll employees because it needs to communicate with the Time & Attendance application for that function.


Offline

This icon (a cloud with a line through it) indicates that the Time Clock is offline and not communicating with the Time & Attendance application.

The Time Clock still accepts employees’ punches and stores the punch information. As soon as connectivity is restored, all information stored locally by the Time Clock is updated in the Time & Attendance application.

Software Upgraded

This icon (a cloud with rotating arrows) indicates that the Time Clock software has been upgraded.

Although the Time Clock is online and communicating with the Time & Attendance application, you must restart the Time Clock application and reboot the clock hardware to activate the upgrade.
