Employee Self Sign-in:
Using a proximity / RFID reader (recommended for large classes)
First, you will need to order RFID Key Fobs and Proximity Readers for your PC/MAC computer by contacting one of our friendly National Account Specialists at sales@engineerica.com. For more information about what RFID/proximity readers are click here.
Once you receive the RFID/proximity reader it is ready to go. There is no need to store Employee data on the key fobs as they are already programmed with an ID.
- You will have to connect the proximity reader to your PC/MAC computer and let the device install the necessary drivers.
- Just plug in the Proximity Reader with the provided USB cord and watch the device install the necessary drivers. It will beep several times during this process.
- You can test that the device is working by opening a notepad or a word document on your computer and then bringing the key fob close to the proximity reader. It should beep and place the ID number.
- Then you will have to scan each key fob when editing the Employee to assign them to each of your Employees. You can either Import the keyfob numbers or manually assign each Employee's keyfob when they attend the first time so you have their card number in AccuTraining.
- Finally, you must set up a Sign-in Station to start recording attendance with the RFID and proximity readers. Click here to learn how.
