Proxy Server Settings

Adjust the Proxy Server Settings on your BN series timeclock (BN5000, BN5500, BN6000, BN6400, BN6500) to match your network's proxy details, to ensure the device connects without issue. The steps in this article will help you adjust the settings on the timeclock to match your network's requirements. 

Notes:

• There are also settings and features to configure in the cloud portal that relate to your (BN5000, BN5500, BN6000, BN6400/BN6500) timeclock(s).
• You will need your company ID (to find your account) and have access to the administrator email address (to receive an activation code) when adding a new timeclock to your account.
• Verify with your IT department that the timeclock has been allowed free communication (to and from our servers) on all ports and to/from all addresses on the lists in this article.
