Getting Started - 4.3 - C250 Wireless

Connecting the C250 Wireless Fingerprint Clocking Terminal to your Local Area Network

Please ensure the Clocking Terminal is installed and powered on. If you gave us your network details when purchasing the System the Clocking Terminal should connect to your WiFi network automatically. When connected successfully, the display will show a green 'W'.

If this is the case, you can skip this step and begin sending your Employee Profiles from the ClockRite Software to the Terminal. 

If the 'W' is grey, the Clocking Terminal is unable to connect automatically and you will need input your network information into the Terminal and the ClockRite Software.
