The HandPunch Station

We can now offer the HandPunch biometric terminal as a portable solution. Everything required is on one board - all pre-wired and configured to just plug into a mains socket and start working and communicating via GPRS.

The board consists of:

• HandPunch1000 with 50, 100 or 512 employee capacity
• 2A PSU with 7Ah rechargable battery
• Low Voltage battery isolator - this prevents the battery from being fully discharged - maintaining its life expectancy. It also means the unit could be removed for storage / re-location without needing to open the PSU and remove the battery leads.
• Electric Key-switch to power off/on the HandPunch and GPRS modem
• GPRS Modem, preconfigured to work with the customers data sim card
  
• GPRS Antenna

For all Focus users, we have updated the users page to include the latest helptext file. The Help2599.zip file can be downloaded and uncompressed to the Focus 2 folder to replace the existing chm help file. Alternatively, it is supplied as a pdf file which can be obtained from the same place.

Focus Lite Additions

Previously it has not been possible to view a Calendar or Availablity screen from within Focus Lite. Guess what? Now you can!

However, it is a 'view only' function - to be able to fully appreciate the benefits of these components, you will still need Focus Pro.

Also, it is now possible to set an automated schedule for downloading clockings.

This can be set for up to 10 downloads within a 24 hour period per terminal.
