Use Auto Sync
Check this box to enable automatic data sync with remote locations via the internet or WAN.
Extended communications logging
Check this box to add extra info to the log file when you connect to a remote location and sync data.
Automatically choose sync workstation
Check this box to have Power Clock choose the workstation that is used to sync data at the time specified below. One of the workstations currently running Power Clock will be chosen to connect to the remote server and sync data.
Auto Sync workstation
If you didn't enable the box above then you must enter the workstation name that will connect to the remote location and perform the data sync.
Master Location
This is the location you will be connecting to. Usually this will be the home office location of your business. The master location must have Power Clock server running at the time you specify below and must be connected to the internet, WAN, or some other TCP/IP network. Do not choose your current location as the master. The master must be using a different location ID. There's no requirement for Power Clock server to be running at the location that is connecting to the master.
For example: You have two locations, an office location (location ID 0), and a retail store location (location ID 1). Each location will have a separate record in the location file. In the store location record enter 0 for the master location. The store will then connect to the home office Power Clock server at the time specified and send any new or changed time records, employees, etc. The server address, login id, and password must be entered in home office location record on the "Remote Data Sync Server" page so the store location knows where to find the server.
Sync Start / Sync End
The selected workstation will attempt to connect to the remote location server and sync data between the times you enter here. We recommend you select off hours or slow times to perform the automatic sync.
The workstation will continue to connect to the remote server at the frequency you enter in "Sync Every" field. If "Sync Every" is zero then the workstation will only connect to the remote location once per day. The workstation will stop trying to connect to the remote server after "Sync End" time.
Sync every xxx minutes
If this field is zero then the selected workstation will only connect to the remote server once a day during the "Sync Start" to "Sync End" time period.
Next Sync date/time
Enter the date and time of the next automatic sync session. Any date/time before the current date/time will force an sync at the next "Sync Start" time.
Sync Clock
Check this box to synchronize the local computer clock to the master location computer clock during the data sync.
