Device Setup

Use Device Setup to configure a Gaming device (timeclock). When configuring a Gaming device you can:

  • Specify the device's location (gate access type), such as a cafeteria or parking lot.
  • Enable or disable the device.
  • Configure additional device specific settings, such as:
    • The amount of time to keep the door or gate open when an employee uses a Gate access Smart View transaction.
    • The punch status for entrance.
    • The ability for employees to enter the cafeteria if they have exceeded their meal budget.
    • The ability for non-gaming employees to access Gaming gates.
