Chapter 1 Overview

Introduction
ADP InTouch is a data collection device that communicates with the ADP host
applications. The device collects information that employees enter using a badge
reader, biometric device, or keypad. The host application software collects data
from the devices to track and process labor-related data, generate management
reports, and transfer information to the payroll service.
ADP InTouch does the following:
• Enforces schedules, by controlling when specific employees can swipe in and
swipe out for shifts, meals, and breaks.
• Displays accrued vacation, sick time, and messages to individual employees
(depending on the host application).
• Provides touchscreen soft keys that enable users to perform transactions such
as labor account transfers, pay code transactions, and QuickGlance
transactions. The latter allow users to access and interact with current
information that is not resident at the device.

Note: This documentation refers to transactions by their default names. Your


administrator can change these names to conform with your business practices.

How ADP InTouch works

How ADP InTouch works

How the device operates with the host application


Administrators: Use the host application to configure employees and
information such as schedules, punch restrictions, and labor accounts. The host
application downloads this information to the device, which uses it to accept or
restrict employee punches.
When employees swipe their badges at the device, the punch information is stored
in the database on the device. The host application collects the stored data and
totals the hours, computes overtime, calculates wages, tracks labor, and generates
reports. If the host application is Enterprise eTIME, use the device management
application to define which transactions users can perform, and to monitor the
data that the host application and device exchange.
The device supports SSL encryption so that sensitive information about
employees and their timecards is protected on the Internet.

Cross-punching
Cross-punching allows employees who are not assigned to a device (that is, non-
home employees) to punch at that device.
Administrators: Use the device management application to enable the cross-
punching feature for a device. Access the General Device Settings building block,
and select Allow Non-Home Employees, on the Punch Rules tab.

User’s Guide 13
Chapter 1 Overview

Modes of operation
ADP InTouch operates in three modes:
• Employee
• Manager
• Maintenance
Each mode has its own set of transactions, depending on the host application that
your organization is using. Users require a specific type of badge (Employee,
Manager, or Maintenance) to access each mode.
Throughout this document, the terms manager and supervisor are used
interchangeably.

Employee mode

The device most often operates in employee mode. It accepts punch data that
employees enter using a badge reader or touch screen.
For details about employee mode, see “Employee Mode Transactions” on page
35.

Manager mode

Manager mode allows authorized users to perform tasks such as editing employee
punches, adding missed employee punches, and viewing employee information.
For details about manager mode, see “Manager Mode Transactions” on page 67.

Maintenance mode

Maintenance mode allows authorized users to display technical information about


the device, execute diagnostic tests, and define configuration settings.
For details about maintenance mode, see “Maintenance Mode Functions” on page
117.

ADP InTouch features

ADP InTouch features

Labor tracking transactions

Overview

ADP InTouch can perform labor tracking transactions using labor accounts or cost
centers, which are defined in the host application. Labor accounts comprise one or
more labor levels, which are arranged hierarchically, and constitute a cost center.
Examples include:
programmer/software/engineering
drill press operator/tooling/manufacturing
Administrators: Specify what department or labor level information to send to
each device. The two options are:
• Send all department or labor level entry information for all labor levels.
• Send one labor level set. A labor level set comprises specific groups of labor
level entries for each labor level. If you configure the device to validate
entries when employees perform labor account transfers, the device accepts
only those labor level entries included in the labor level set.
When employees swipe their badges, the system associates the punch and hours
worked with their home (assigned) labor account—unless they perform a transfer
to another labor account.

Labor account transfers

Administrators: You can configure labor account transfers to work in the


following ways:
• Set up the device to prompt for all labor levels or only specified labor levels.
• Assign a default entry or no entry to any of the labor level prompts that
appear.
• Define a transaction to include a default labor level value that employees
cannot change (there is no prompt for the labor level).

User’s Guide 15
Chapter 1 Overview

• Define a transaction that has no value for one or more labor levels. This
option creates abbreviated labor level transfers that do not require employees
to enter all labor levels. Prompts for these labor levels display no value. If an
employee does not enter a value for the labor level, the timekeeping
application searches for the last labor level entry that the employee transferred
to, during the current shift. If there is no entry, the application uses the
corresponding labor level entry in the employee’s home labor account.

Job tracking transactions

Overview

Job tracking allows an organization to track hours worked by location. It is


available to organizations that use Enterprise eTIME as the host application.
Unlike labor account tracking, which is payroll-oriented, job tracking is work-
oriented. A company can, however, implement both types of hours tracking in the
system.
A site can track employee hours by job. If the site maps jobs to its organizational
hierarchy, the jobs are known as organizational jobs. For example, in a hospital, a
registered nurse works a job titled RN1. If the site uses organizational jobs, it can
add location information to the job title, such as Health Care/Hospital A/OR/RN1.
Administrators: Use Enterprise eTIME to define jobs and assign each employee
to a primary job (the job that the employee regularly performs). You can configure
devices to allow employees to perform transfers to other jobs for which they are
qualified.

Job transfer sets

Administrators:
• Use Enterprise eTIME to create and assign job transfer sets, which define the
jobs that employees can transfer to.
• You can load each home employee’s assigned job transfer set and other
information to a device.

16
ADP InTouch features

• You can use the device management application to load a specific job transfer
set to a device. A device job transfer set defines the jobs that employees can
transfer to. This feature allows non-home employees to perform job transfers.
It can also confine job transfers to jobs that are near the device.

How job transfers and validation work

Administrators: You can use the host application to configure devices to perform
job transfers in the following ways:
• Configure soft keys to perform automatic job transfers, which are transfers to
jobs that employees cannot change. Use this feature when employees who
punch in at a particular device always transfer to the same limited number of
jobs.
Note:
– If employees are assigned to a job transfer set, the job associated with
each soft key that performs a transfer must be part of that transfer set.
Otherwise, the system rejects the job transfer.
– If employees are not assigned to a job transfer set and the device does not
contain a job transfer set, the system rejects the job transfer.
• Configure a soft key to allow employees to initiate job transfers. In this
configuration, employees select a job from their employee job transfer set or
from a device job transfer set.
At a single device, you can configure a soft key for each kind of job transfer—
automatic and employee-initiated.

User’s Guide 17
Chapter 1 Overview

If employees are assigned to employee job transfer sets and the device is assigned
to a device job transfer set, the jobs to which an employee can transfer depend on
the configuration of the device:

Type of job validation

By employee’s
Type of assigned job transfer By device job By employee and device job
employee set only transfer set only transfer sets
Home Can transfer only to jobs in Can transfer only to Can transfer only to jobs that are

transfer because the jobs in the device job because the employee’s assigned
employee’s assigned job transfer set sent to the job transfer set is not sent to the
transfer set is not sent to the device. device.
device.

Note:
• The system shortens the organizational job names in a transfer set, whenever
possible.
For example, a job transfer set contains the following jobs:
Health Care/Hospital A/OR/RN1
Health Care/Hospital A/ICU/Ward/RN1
Health Care/Hospital A/Nursery/RN1
Because all of the job names contain “Health Care/Hospital A/,” the system
shortens each name to include the last common part (“Hospital A”) and the
remaining unique parts. The abbreviated list is:
Hospital A/OR/RN1
Hospital A/ICU/Ward/RN1
Hospital A/Nursery/RN1

18
ADP InTouch features

• Employees can manually enter the names of jobs. If the name is not valid,
however, the device does not accept the transaction.
• If a non-home employee performs a job transfer (that is, performs a cross-
punch), the device cannot validate job entries unless it is assigned to a device
job transfer set.
• Administrators: You can allow employees to perform both a job transfer and
a labor level transfer in the same transaction. For example:
– If jobs are not mapped to labor level entries, set up the job transfer
transaction to allow employees to transfer to a specific job and labor
account.
– To track how grant funds are being used, configure a labor level to
represent the grant. When employees swipe in, they perform a job transfer
and a labor level transfer to the labor level entry that represents the grant.

Schedule enforcement
Administrators: To configure devices to validate employee punches against their
schedules, use the device management application. The punch rules contain a
setting that enables schedule enforcement. You can tailor the complexity of
schedule enforcement to meet your business needs. Depending on your system
configuration, the devices can do the following:
• Limit how early and late employees can punch in or punch out.
• Enable managers to perform punches for employees, and to override punch
restrictions for employees.
• Prevent employees from punching in when they are not scheduled.
• Enforce meal and break schedules for employees, including minors, to satisfy
state and federal labor laws.
To configure a full array of punch restrictions for the device, see the appropriate
documentation for Enterprise eTIME and Enterprise Scheduler (if installed). The
system requires the latter application to enforce meal and break rules for
employees.

User’s Guide 19
Chapter 1 Overview

Default transactions
Administrators: You can use the device management application to set up default
transactions for ADP InTouch users. When an employee swipes a badge or enters
a badge ID, the data collection device automatically initiates the transaction that
you designate as the default. Default transactions include punches, labor account
transfers, job transfers, and so on. If you can assign a transaction to a soft key, you
can assign it to a badge swipe or badge ID entry as a default transaction.
You can assign default transactions to home and non-home employees, and to local
and remote readers. If you assign a default transaction to an internal reader, it also
applies to the external reader.
When the default transaction for a home employee’s badge swipe is a punch, you
can assign a different default transaction for a badge ID entry. For example, if a
group of home employees routinely change job assignments when they start a
shift, you can set the default transaction to a Job Transfer for a start-of-shift badge
read.
The types of default transactions are:
• Home employee default
• Home employee shift start
• Home employee IN during shift
• Home employee shift end
• Non-home employee default

Transaction persistence
If the host application is Enterprise eTIME, an administrator can configure it to
repeatedly apply an employee’s pay code edits and transfers to the employee’s
record, for each scheduled work day. The transaction persists until the employee
or manager (on the employee’s behalf) performs a punch, edit, or transfer—at the
device or using the host application. The repeating transaction generates amounts
(for pay code edits) or punches (for transfers), based on the employee’s daily
schedule.

20
ADP InTouch features

A pay code edit is persistent when both of the following are true:
• The employee is assigned to a schedule.
• Enterprise eTIME is configured to repeat the pay code edit on days that the
employee works.
A labor account transfer or work rule transfer is persistent when both of the
following are true:
• The employee is assigned to a schedule.
• The employee’s assigned pay rule is configured to repeat labor account
transfers or work rule transfers on days that the employee works.
If Enterprise eTIME automatically generates punches based on an employee’s
schedule, and a persistent transaction is in effect for that employee, the persistent
transaction takes precedence.

Soft key schedules


Administrators: For each device, you can use the device management
application to create soft key schedules, during which certain device transactions
are not available to employees. For example, during periods when many
employees punch in or punch out, you can de-activate the View Totals or View
Current Schedule soft keys. Each soft key schedule can contain up to eight time
intervals for each day of the week.

Chapter 1 Overview

Using badges

Integrated readers
ADP InTouch is equipped with one of the following integrated or internal badge
readers:
• HID Proximity
• EM Proximity
• MiFare Smart Card or iClass Smart Card
• Bar code
• Magnetic stripe
If the device is equipped with a proximity reader, hold the badge within two
inches of the target area (top right corner of the device). If the device is equipped
with a bar code reader or a magnetic stripe reader, swipe the badge through the
reader to perform transactions.
If the device reads the badge successfully, the LED flashes green, and the speaker
emits a tone. If the badge read is unsuccessful, the LED flashes red, the speaker
emits a different tone, and an error message appears on the screen. Wait until the
message times out or tap the X to close the message. Then re-attempt the badge
read.

Remote readers
Remote or external readers (for example, Wiegand Proximity) are available, as an
option. For more information, see your product representative.

Device status icons

Device status icons


One or more status icons can appear below the logo on the home page. They
provide information or indicate a problem that requires intervention by an
administrator.

Battery backup

Indicates that the data collection device has lost power and is operating on battery
backup. Check the plugs, connections, and so on.

Global Home Override

Indicates that a manager has performed the Global Home Override transaction,
which overrides schedule and punch restrictions for home employees. This icon
appears for the entire duration of the override.

User’s Guide 31
Chapter 1 Overview

Global Non-Home Override

Indicates that a manager has performed the Global Non-Home Override


transaction, which allows non-home employees to punch at restricted times. This
icon appears for the entire duration of the override.

Low disk space

Indicates that the disk free space has fallen below the low disk space threshold.
When this condition occurs, the Compress Database feature automatically
reclaims unused, allocated space within the embedded InTouch database. This
process also results in freeing disk space, because it decreases the overall database
file sizes.
In addition, if InTouch detects a disk full condition, the Compress Database
function automatically runs during the clean-up process. If the device is
performing transactions slowly, compressing the database can improve
performance—when the issue is caused by database fragmentation.

Chapter 2 Employee Mode Transactions

Introduction
Use employee mode to perform activities such as a simple punch, a labor transfer,
or a work rule transfer. When ADP InTouch is in employee mode (the default
mode), you initiate a transaction by tapping the appropriate soft key.
The following sections describe how to perform employee mode transactions. All
procedures assume that you are using a badge.

Note: At the conclusion of many transactions, a Review page appears. Tap Back
to make changes, or tap Submit to save your data. The instructions in this chapter
assume that you are ready to Submit; they do not explicitly mention the Back
option, when it is available.

For optional entries, such as Comment Code or Job, you can select <Leave
Blank>.

36
Introduction

Biometric scanning
Data collection devices that include the ADP QuickPunch® option can
authenticate your identity based on a finger (or biometric) scan. This option offers
two types of biometric scanning: biometric verification and biometric
identification. Biometric verification requires you to swipe your badge or enter
your badge ID before you scan a finger. Biometric identification requires you to
perform only a finger scan. Before you can use biometric scanning to perform
transactions, your manager must enroll you at the device.
Managers: For details about enrolling employees for biometric verification or
identification, see “Biometrics” on page 71.
Administrators: The device management application controls the biometric
policies for individual data collection devices. To enable non-home employees to
perform biometric verification:
• Enroll employees at a device to which they are assigned.
• Enable cross-punching at selected devices that employees are not assigned to.
Biometric identification employees cannot cross-punch.

Standard transactions

Standard transactions use information that resides at the device. For these
transactions, the system requires home employees only, or home and non-home
employees to perform biometric verification.
Administrators: You cannot require employees to perform biometric scanning
for only selected standard transactions. The device management application
setting that enables biometric verification or identification applies to all standard
transactions. If you disable this setting (Enable Biometric Identification), the
device still requires employees to perform biometric scanning for transactions that
change their in-status or out-status (for example, simple punches and labor
transfers).

User’s Guide 37
Chapter 2 Employee Mode Transactions

QuickGlance transactions

QuickGlance transactions use information that resides on the host application


database.
Administrators: Use the device management application to enable biometric
scanning for individual QuickGlance transactions. For these transactions, the
system requires home employees to perform biometric scanning. If you have
enabled non-home employees to perform biometric scanning for standard
transactions, they must also perform biometric scanning for these QuickGlance
transactions.

Enterprise Activities transactions


Administrators: To enable employees to perform Enterprise Activities
transactions, use Enterprise eTIME and Enterprise Activities as the host
applications. You can assign Enterprise Activities transactions to soft keys using
the device management application.
Note:
• Each transaction references an HTML form (created using Transaction
Builder in Enterprise Activities) that has its own URL.
• When an employee taps a soft key, the device calls the URL and displays the
form on the screen.
• When the transaction is completed, the device sends the information to the
Enterprise Activities database. If the network is unavailable, the device stores
the transaction and sends it when the network recovers.
• If the host application server is offline when an employee initiates a
transaction, the device displays a default HTML form associated with the
transaction. The employee completes the form and the device stores the
information. When the host application server comes back online, the device
sends the transaction information to the application database.

Accessing manager mode

Accessing manager mode


You access manager mode by using a Supervisor (or Manager) badge, or an
Employee badge whose badge ID is assigned as a Manager badge, in the host
application.

Note: If the device is in manager mode and is idle for a specified time span
without user input, it automatically exits manager mode and returns to employee
mode. Your administrator sets the amount of idle time, using the host application.

Using a Supervisor badge

Note: Supervisor badges are sold separately. For more information, see your
product’s representative.

To access manager mode:


1. Swipe your Supervisor (“S”) badge or enter the badge ID and tap Enter.
2. Enter your manager mode password and tap Enter.

Note: The default password is 00000. To change the password at the device,
use the Change Password transaction. See “Change Password” on page 102. If
it is not available, your administrator can assign the Change Password
transaction to a soft key using the host application. The supervisor password
that you set at a device applies only to that device.

3. To log out of manager mode, tap Logout.

Biometrics

Biometrics
If you are using the ADP QuickPunch® option, the Enroll Employee and Unenroll
Employee transactions are available. These transactions also require some
configuration in the device management application. For details, see the system
administrator’s guide for the device management application.

Templates
The Enroll Employee transaction creates a template for an employee’s finger. A
template is a mathematical representation of a fingerprint that is stored on the
InTouch device, in an encrypted format. The ADP QuickPunch® technology does
not store actual fingerprint images. Furthermore, the mathematical representations
of the fingerprints cannot be used to re-create the original images.
Each employee can enroll two fingers—a primary finger and, if required, a
secondary finger. InTouch uses these templates to perform biometric verification
or biometric identification when employees perform a finger scan. Biometric
verification requires an employee to swipe a badge or enter a badge ID before
scanning a finger. Biometric identification requires only a finger scan. You can
enroll an employee for both biometric verification and biometric identification.
However, an individual InTouch device can support only one type of biometric
authentication at a time.
A data collection device can store 4,000 verification templates or 500
identification templates (the latter are larger). The number of templates is based
on the number of fingers that are enrolled, not the number of employees. ADP
therefore recommends that, for a given device, up to 2,000 biometric verification
employees enroll two fingers each; or up to 250 biometric identification
employees enroll two fingers each.
To determine the current capacity of a device, run the Biometric report. See
“Biometric report” on page 148.

Terminology

Nail joint

Finger core

First knuckle

A finger contains a pattern of ridges, with typically one innermost ridge that
curves in on itself, near the center. This area is called the finger core. In the
following illustrations, the finger core is identified by a green dot:

Arches (plain and tented)

Loops (singular and twin)

72
Biometrics

Whorls and central pocket loops

Lock, drop, and hold method


In this documentation, the technique for successfully enrolling a finger is referred
to as the “lock, drop, and hold method.”

Sensor border

Sensor

Ridge-lock

User’s Guide 73
Chapter 3 Manager Mode Transactions

Lock

Slide your finger along the ridge-lock, without touching the sensor, until the first
knuckle aligns with the ridge-lock. Sliding the finger along the ridge-lock helps to
dissipate electrostatic discharge that can adversely affect the biometric device.

Note: When you rest your first knuckle on the ridge-lock, your nail joint should
extend slightly past the white border of the sensor. This position ensures that your
finger core is at the center of the sensor. If your finger is small, however, the nail
joint might not extend past the border of the sensor while the first knuckle is
resting on the ridge-lock. In this case, slide your first knuckle slightly past the
ridge-lock so that the nail joint crosses the white border of the sensor.

74
Biometrics

Drop

Drop your finger flat onto the surface of the sensor, with your finger core in the
center of the sensor, and your finger in contact with the white border of the sensor.
Apply moderate pressure. If you apply too much pressure, the finger ridges can
flatten out and produce a smudged image. If you apply too little pressure, the
sensor might not detect your finger. In either case, a Poor enrollment can result. In
addition, do not rotate the finger after you have placed it on the sensor.

Hold

Hold your finger on the sensor until the LED flashes, and then promptly remove
it. Green indicates a Good enrollment; orange indicates a Fair enrollment; red
indicates a Poor enrollment.
The Enroll Employee transaction requires the participation of both the manager
and the employee.

Directly face the device so that you can comfortably place your finger on the
sensor—without having to awkwardly extend your arm or hand. Use the lock,
drop, and hold method (for details, see “Lock, drop, and hold method” on page
73):
Lock: Slide your finger forward and along the ridge-lock, without touching
the sensor area.
Drop: Drop your finger onto the surface of the sensor, and apply moderate
pressure.
Hold: Hold your finger on the sensor until the LED flashes, and then
promptly remove it.
When the biometric device detects a scan, the data collection device displays the
following information:
• Quality Score—A measurement of the useful data that the sensor detected in
the finger scan. Some fingers have ridges, scars, or other characteristics that
can lower the quality score. Range: 0–100.

78
Biometrics

• Content Score—The relative amount of information that the sensor detected.


Smaller fingers and poor finger placement result in lower content scores.
Range: 0–100.
• Threshold—A measure of how closely an employee’s live finger scan must
match the stored enrollment template. For biometric verification, there are
three threshold settings: Normal, Low, and None, which are configured in the
device management application (Setup > Device Manager Setup > General
Device Settings > Punch Rules).
The following table describes the icons associated with the scan results:

Icon Description
Indicates a Good quality score, or content score.
Note: The threshold always receives a Good score.

Indicates a Fair quality score or content score.

Indicates a Poor quality score, or content score.

The following examples of scan results include the recommended user actions.

Note: You can configure InTouch to add the “core locator” to the fingerscreen
images during the biometric verification enrollment process (for examples of this
feature, see “Biometric identification” on page 86). Or, you can configure
InTouch to not display employee fingerscans at all during biometric verification.

Chapter 4 Maintenance Mode Functions

Introduction
Maintenance mode allows you to display technical information about the ADP
InTouch data collection device, perform configuration tasks, and execute
diagnostic tests. These tests can help you troubleshoot hardware malfunctions.
If you or a product representative cannot diagnose a particular hardware problem,
return the device to ADP. See the guide for returning the touchscreen data
collection device.

Caution: Before you disassemble the device, use the host application to collect all
of the data that is stored on it.

The number of available options depends on the type of device you are using:
Standard model or Slim Profile model. The deeper, Standard model (see
illustration) enables you to install more options, such as an external reader or
back-up battery.

Important: The application software for the device resides on the SD (Secure
Digital) card, which is in the unit. Removing, copying, or altering the SD card
voids your warranty.

Initial setup and configuration

Initial setup and configuration


This section describes how to initially set up and configure a new data collection
device. These instructions apply to a typical setup. The procedure can vary
depending on which options are installed and which features your organization is
using.
Some configuration tasks, such as defining which transactions users can perform
at the device, require you to use the device management application. In addition,
many of the settings that you configure on the device must match the
corresponding settings in the device management application. These settings are
identified throughout this chapter. For more information, see the system
administrator’s guide for the device management application.

Note: For details about assembling and mounting the device, see the ADP
InTouch installation guide.

Required settings
The following steps apply to all setup scenarios:
1. Power up the device.
If the device times out during the initial setup, you can re-access maintenance
mode in two ways: swipe a Maintenance badge; or open the device and press
the maintenance mode button on the main board, which is on the inside front
cover (see button  in the following illustration). To remove the front cover,
use the security wrench that was shipped with the device. You must press and
hold the button for four seconds.

Note: Button  enables you to restart the device, when the system is not
responding. Press and hold the button for four seconds.

IPV4 Configuration

Note: If you are using the IPV6 IP address format, skip this setting.

Important considerations for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Use a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to devices (see step 4, in


the procedure that follows). Before you complete the communication settings for
the device, note the following:
• Ensure that your DHCP server complies with the minimum requirements of
the DHCP RFC2132 standard to supply an IP address, subnet mask setting,
and default gateway setting.
• Do not configure ADP InTouch devices to use DHCP on a network that does
not support DHCP. Otherwise, each device performs an address request every
five seconds for an indefinite period. These requests can adversely affect
network performance.
• To change the IP address of a device that uses DHCP: change the address on
the network; assign the address to the device; and then remove the address
from the DHCP pool so that another device cannot use it.
• If you remove a device that uses DHCP, you can reuse its former IP address.
To configure the device to use the IPV4 address format:
1. Tap Settings.
2. Tap Communication Settings.
3. Tap IPV4.
4. Address Mode—do one of the following:
– Tap DHCP. Go to step 8.
– Tap Static. Go to the next step.
5. IP Address: Enter the IP address for this device (the default value is 127.0.0.1)
and tap Enter.
6. Subnet Mask: Enter the IP address for the sub-network (the default value is
255.255.255.0) and tap Enter.
7. Gateway: Enter the gateway IP address (including the periods) and tap Enter.

12. Tap Submit.

DNS Configuration

The DNS (Domain Name System) feature enables a device to access and process
information that does not reside on the device. QuickGlance transactions, for
example, access a URL for information. To use the DNS feature, you must have
access to a DNS server.
For example, the View Schedules Online transaction requires access to the host
application database, to access current information about schedules and jobs. The
DNS feature resolves the domain name of the host application’s server so that the
device can access the information at the specified URL.
1. Tap Settings.
2. Tap Communication Settings.
3. Tap DNS Configuration:
– If you are using the IPV4 IP address format and you set the Address
Mode to DHCP (see “IPV4 Configuration” on page 128), the system
auto-populates all of the DNS values. Go to step 9.
– Otherwise, go to the next step.
4. Enabled: Tap True.
5. Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
6. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server.
7. Primary DNS Server (IPV6):

the primary DNS server.
– Otherwise, go directly to the next step.

130
Settings

8. Secondary DNS Server (IPV6):


– If you set the IPV6 Address Mode to Manual and you have a secondary
DNS server for IPV6, enter the IP address of this server.
– Otherwise, go directly to the next step.
9. Tap Submit.
Important considerations for Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Support
• Dynamic DNS is supported by ADP InTouch by configuring the DHCP server
to update the DNS server dynamically.
• When an IP address is assigned to the client device, the DHCP server updates
the DNS server with the DNS (A) record and (PTR) records.
• Configure the DHCP server so that it deletes the records in the DNS server
when an IP address lease time expires for a particular client device.
• Windows 2003 (and higher versions) DHCP server and DNS server support
this type of behavior and configuration.
• The DNS server is not updated when the address mode of the client device is
configured as static (and the static IP address is configured at the device). The
DNS server is updated only when the address mode of the client device is
configured as DHCP.
The ADP InTouch device workflow with Dynamic DNS server configuration is as
follows:
• The device makes a request to the DHCP server. By default, the device ID is
used as the device host name.
• The DHCP server assigns an IP address to the client request.
• If the DHCP server is configured to update the DNS server, only the DNS
server is updated.
• The client device makes a request to the DHCP server to renew the IP address
at a frequency equal to the lease time divided by two.
• If the IP address is not renewed, the corresponding DNS record is deleted
from the DNS server.

• “Troubleshooting” on page 164.
Chapter 5 Error Messages and Troubleshooting

Error messages
ADP InTouch displays various error messages to help you perform transactions
and diagnose problems.
Some of the error messages contain a message number, with the prefix “NGT.” A
portion of these messages may also include a failure code, as in the following
example:
Schedule violation [NGT 05-1 ({failureCode})]
When you call your product’s representative for support, refer to the message
number and failure code.

Note: Different error messages can have the same message number. In addition,
identical error messages can appear in different contexts.

Some error messages contain “{n},” where n represents dynamic content, such as
a number or word. The system dynamically inserts the content of {n} into the
string, as required by the device transaction. See the following examples:
Field precision is {n} [NGT 94-20]
Maximum value is {n} [NGT 96-1]
Exact length is {n} [NGT 96-3]
This section includes some of the more common error messages and how to
address them. For a complete list of the error messages and text strings, see the
guide to translating and customizing the ADP InTouch interface.

Error reading badge data [NGT 01-1]

The device detected a badge swipe, but it could not interpret the data correctly.

The device does not permit access to Manager mode by swiping a Supervisor
badge. Only employees who are assigned a Manager license in the timekeeping
application can swipe their badges to access Manager mode.

Punch rejected [NGT 04-1 ({failureCode})]

The time that has elapsed since the last punch is less than the required minimum
time between punches.

Last punch invalid [NGT 04-2 ({failureCode})]

The date and time of the last punch is in the future, so the system cannot perform
schedule enforcement.

Schedule violation [NGT 05-1 ({failureCode})]

The schedule enforcement logic rejects the employee’s punch. The failure codes
provide details about addressing these violations:
101—You are attempting to punch too soon after your previous punch. Wait
until the repunch interval passes, and then punch again.
Administrators: The Restrict Punch Interval defines the amount of time that
must elapse before an employee can repunch. Use the device management
application to configure this parameter.
