Getting Started

Local Clock Manager Setup

First, you'll be asked which style of clock you want to add (see screenshot below). When you make your choice, click "Next" and follow the instructions on the screens that appear.

• Vetro: You have two options when you pick this clock:
  • Adding the clock via the USB drive: This choice guides you through naming the clock and setting a six-digit password, loading them onto the USB drive and transferring them to the clock. 
  • Adding the clock via a network: This choice is available to those who have installed their TimePilot database and the TimePilot Service software on the same computer (server or PC) and have their Vetro clocks attached to the same network. Please click the "Using the Network to set up Vetro clocks" note on the setup screen for details.
• Extreme: This choice guides you through naming the clock and setting the time and date, loading them onto the USB drive and transferring them to the clock.
• Tap⁺: Because the Tap clock can be used on any computer in your network—and might be moved frequently from computer to computer—there's an extra step to setting up a Tap clock: You'll need to install a small program, Tap Manager, on any computer that might be used with a Tap. Click the "Next " button for complete instructions. 
  Tap Manager is found on your TimePilot software CD. Place the CD in each computer's CD drive, and when the software starts, choose "Install TimePilot software," then "TimePilot Installation Menu," then "TimePilot Tap Manager." Your Tap clocks will appear in Clock Manager when you plug your Tap clock into a USB port of a computer on your network that's running Tap Manager.
• TimePilot PC: Much like TimePilot Tap, you'll need to install TimePilot PC on each computer in your network where employees will clock in and out using the software. The Clock Manager will automatically "see" each installation of TimePilot PC on your network. Click the "Next " button for complete instructions.
• Smartphone: TimePilot has Apps for the iPhone and Android phones that enable individual employees or groups of employees to clock in and out with their cell phones. Once the smartphones are set up with TimePilot, they will appear in Clock Manager. Click the Next button for details and a download link.
