Summary :
How to configure the Access Control features in the CapeClocks hardware.

Requires :
Version 2.41 or later.  CapeClock 128 version 3.00 or later.

Time Zones :
Time Zones allow you to limit the times at which the employee can clock on the device. For example you may only want Employee 1 to have access to the door from 8 am to 6 pm. This is a Time Zone.

By default Time Zones limit both the In and Out clocking times. However you can also set it to limit only the In clocking times on some, or all, devices. This limits the employee to clocking In during a set period, but they can clock Out at any time.

Creating Time Zones :
To set the time Zones go to the Hardware module, to the Setup menu, and select Time Zone Sets.

You can create up to 16 different sets. Each employee will ultimately be assigned to 1 set.

Inside each set you can have up to 32  time windows on each day.  For example you may allow clockings from 8am to 10am, and from 4pm to 6pm, but nothing inbetween. In this case you have 2 time windows.

Each day of the week can also have different time windows from other days in the week.

The CapeClock is capable of containing a large number of time window combinations (at least 224) but this is spread over all the sets, and across all the days. The CapeClock also makes use of a compression scheme so in some cases more than 224 windows will be possible.

Assigning Time Zones to Employees :
The Time Zone which applies to each employee can be set in 4 places.

A) The device override. This is set for a particular device in the Hardware module on the Update Devices screen. This is the Time Zone Override setting on the Access Control tab. If this is 0 then the Employee setting is used.

B) On the Update Employee Details screen. This is the Time Zone setting on the Access tab. If this is set to 0 then the Shift setting is used.
