Coordinating the data between the Portable Laptop PC and Main PC TimeVue records

 

The master file is always on the Main PC.  MPC

The slave file is on the Laptop.

 

Master controls the slave, slave reports to the master.

Slave updates the two RS232 clocks.

 

Set up all the employees on the MPC.

When adding/deleting employees, go to the MPC Clock List and select RESET ALL CLOCKS.  Then close it.

{Make sure you have the Remote clocks listed properly in the MPC Clock List}

 

Poll the clocks individually.  Not “POLL ALL.”

Archive the data to a memory stick.

Go to Poll Time Clock.

Plug each clock in as you must. 

Poll each clock individually.  Again, you will get warnings that you have not polled all clocks.

Finish this.

 

From the Switchboard, Archive the data to the memory stick.  Ignore the remove old data prompts when on the Laptop.

 

Go back to the Main PC.  Insert the memory stick.  Select Restore.
