KB0091: Set a Static IP Address on TotalPass or the Universal Time Clock

Solution:

To prevent the IP Address from changing on the employee time clock, a static IP Address can be entered on the employee time clock.

1. First determine an available IP address to be assigned to the employee time clock.  Also, determine your network’s Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server addresses. Refer to the following article for instructions: http://www.icontime.com/index.php/support/knowledge-base-search/42-troubleshooting-tips/1108-kb0172-how-to-find-the-subnet-mask-gateway-and-dns
2. Press the Lock key on the clock.
3. Enter the security code. The default is 00 00 00.
4. Press Up to find the option View IP Address. Press Enter.
5. The current IP address of the clock will appear. Press Enter.
6. Enter the IP address you wish to assign to the clock. Be sure to include leading zeros.
• I.e. 192.168.002.028
7. The message IP Address Set Successfully will appear.
8. Under Enter Subnet, enter the Subnet Mask.  Subnet Mask Set Successfully will appear.
9. Under Enter Gateway, enter the Gateway address. Gateway Address Set Successfully will appear.
10. Under Enter DNS , enter the DNS Address of your network. DNS Address Set Successfully will appear.

To remove the static IP address and revert back to using a dynamic address, do the following:

1. Press the Lock key on the clock.
2. Enter the security code. The default is 00 00 00.
3. Press Up to find the option View IP Address. Press Enter.
4. The current IP address of the clock will appear. Press Enter.
5. Enter all zeros for the IP address, – 000.000.000.000.
6. The message IP Address Set Successfully will appear.
7. Press Clear to exit out of Supervisor Mode.
8. Unplug the power to the clock for a few seconds and plug it back in. Allow the clock to reboot.
9. A dynamic IP address will be assigned to the clock by your router.
