Connection Errors on a DR Timeclock Follow
We understand that you're requesting information on how to resolve a connection error on your timeclock, so we wrote these helpful guides for each timeclock series to walk you through this process! Click here to identify your device series (if you are unsure).
NOTES:
- Connection errors (like DNS, DHCP, Server Connection Error, Internet Connection Error, uAttend Connectivity Error) are most often an indication the free communication on the required ports to and/or from the required servers is being blocked or impeded by some element of your network. Your organization's IT department may need to make provisions for the timeclock on your network.
- During troubleshooting, it is advised to connect your device, via LAN (ethernet cable) directly to your router (not through a switch or access point) and attempt a connection using an alternate network (like a home office or hotspot) if experiencing a persistent connection issue. After the device software is updated and a successful connection has been established, you can reconnect the device at the intended location and to your WIFI network (if applicable).
- It is strongly advised to ensure your device's software is up-to-date prior to performing a factory reset. It is the account administrator's responsibility to remove any unused timeclocks/device IDs from their account after performing a factory reset.
