For each timeclock that you will be using, you will need to configure the connection information in ADP CollectAll Manager.
1. From the Clock Connections configuration window (see step 4 on page 20) select Add from the menu bar. The Add New Clock dialog box opens.
2. In the Clock Name text box, type the name you would like to assign to the timeclock. The name can reflect the timeclock’s location or other identifying information (e.g., “Front Office”).
3. In the Clock ID text box, type a six character unique abbreviation for the timeclock. The Clock ID should be easily identifiable with the Clock Name it is representing (e.g., a Clock ID of “FrOffc” for a Clock Name of “Front Office”).
Note: The Clock ID is an identification code that will be associated with punch information sent to ezLaborManager. Punch and time reports in ezLaborManager will refer to the source timeclock by the designated Clock ID. The Clock Name is not used in ezLaborManager, but exists to provide clarity when using ADP CollectAll Manager.
4. Click the arrow on the Connection Type drop‐down box, and select the type of connection that you will be using for the timeclock (direct, modem or Ethernet).

Connection Type drop-down box
The Add New Clock dialog box will display a message below the Con‐
nection text box if the connection type you have selected does not have an available timeclock connection for your system.
Note: The Add New Clock dialog box defaults to settings for direct con‐
nect. If you select modem or Ethernet connect at this time, the options in the Add New Clock dialog box will change to reflect the requirements for the type of connection you have chosen.
5. If you will be configuring a direct connection to the timeclock, see “To Set Up a Direct Connection” on page 23.
If you will be configuring a modem connection to the timeclock, see “To Set Up a Modem Connection” on page 24.
If you will be configuring an Ethernet interface, see “To Set Up an Ethernet Connection” on page 26.
To Set Up a Direct Connection
1. Click the arrow on the Connection drop‐down box, and select the COM port on your computer to which you will be connecting your timeclock.
The Connection drop‐down menu will display only the COM ports which are available for direct connect on your computer. (Once a device is attached to a COM port, that COM port will no longer appear as an available option in the Connection drop‐down menu.)
Note: The time zone drop‐down box will be an inactive option for direct connect setup. This information will automatically correspond to the time settings on your computer, including Daylight Saving Time adjust‐
ment, which will be displayed below the time zone.
2. Click OK to save your timeclock configuration and return to the Clock Connections configuration window. An icon for the new timeclock con‐
nection will appear in the appropriate connection type screen. The Figure 2-7: No

name of the timeclock will display in red to indicate that the timeclock has not yet been initialized (see “Test/Initialize” on page 77).
Note: The OK button will be inactive until all options in the Clock Con‐
nections configuration window have been set up. This reduces the pos‐
sibility of errors or incomplete settings for your timeclock connection.
3. If you wish to configure another timeclock connection, follow the instructions under “Adding a Timeclock Connection” on page 22.
4. When you are finished, click OK to return to the ADP CollectAll Man‐
ager main menu.
To Set Up a Modem Connection
If you have selected a modem connection, the Add New Clock dialog box will change the settings options to reflect modem connect.
1. Click the arrow on the Connection drop‐down box, and select the COM port for your computer’s modem.
The Connection drop‐down menu will display only the COM ports which are available for modem connect on your computer. (Once a device is attached to a COM port, that COM port will no longer appear as an available option in the Connection drop‐down menu.)

2. In the Clock Phone Number text box, type the 7‐ or 10‐digit telephone number of the timeclock modem. (It is not necessary to use hyphens.
You may use an extension number if applicable.)
3. Click the arrow on the time zone drop‐down box, and select the time zone in which the timeclock is being used.
The Add New Clock dialog box will automatically enable Daylight Sav‐
ing Time changes if applicable to your chosen time zone. This informa‐
tion will be displayed beneath the time zone drop‐down box.

nection will appear in the appropriate connection type screen. The name of the timeclock will display in red to indicate that the timeclock has not yet been initialized (see “Test/Initialize” on page 77).
Note: The OK button will be inactive until all options in the Clock Con‐
nections configuration window have been set up. This reduces the pos‐
sibility of errors or incomplete settings for your timeclock connection.
5. If you wish to configure another timeclock connection, follow the instructions under “Adding a Timeclock Connection” on page 22.
