Configure Static Network Settings on an RE2000 Time Clock Follow
If your RE2000 time clock requires a static IP address or your network does not use DHCP, you can manually configure the network settings directly on the device. Static network configuration is commonly used in environments with stricter network controls or fixed addressing requirements. Follow the steps below to configure static network settings on the RE2000 time clock.
You will need the time clock admin and super admin passcodes to access the time clock menus. Reach out to the Administrator for your account regarding this information.
Note: If your device is running an earlier software version, it may not detect or connect to Wi‑Fi networks with an SSID (network name) of 16 characters or fewer.
This behavior applies during initial setup and is resolved in version 1.00.03.
If your network does not appear or you’re unable to connect:
- Confirm your Wi-Fi network name is 16 characters or fewer, or
- Use a temporary network with a shorter name to complete setup
After connecting, perform an /link to enable support for longer network names.
