The Time America time and attendance software such as TA100 Pro and Genesis Pro can dial to multiple modem HandPunch clocks.
3. Ethernet - A solid choice if your employees need to punch in from different locations throughout your business. The hand readers come with a pre-installed ethernet adapter so they can connect directly to your local area network. This is the best solution when you require multiple clocks and need data fast.
