5.2.1. How to Discover & Connect to a Auto-Sync Time Clock


1. Startup the Auto-Sync Utility to automatically search for Auto-Sync Time Clocks.

When the desired clock appears on the list, double-click on it to open to the

clock login with your browser.

Skip to  Step 3 if clock is discovered.

All of the discovered Auto-Sync Time Clocks should be displayed in a list with
the Domain, Device Name, IP Address, MAC Address, and Status (see

Figure 5-4).

If the Utility fails to discover the clock(s), or you need to change
settings, proceed to Step 2.

NOTE: The Auto-Sync Time Clock default domain = local and the default Device

Name = auto-sync_ plus the clocks MAC address
(i.e., auto-sync_00:00:00:00:00:00). In computer networking, a Media
Access Control address (MAC address), is a quasi-unique identifier assigned
to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the

manufacturer for identification.
