Before starting, gather all required components. You will need the Digi SP1 device, the time clock terminal, a short CAT5 Ethernet patch cable, power supplies, and the Digi software CD.

Initial Hardware Setup

• Connect all devices using a short CAT5 patch cable.
• Install and register the time clock software on the host computer.
• Ensure all cables are firmly seated, snapped in, and securely fastened.
• Confirm the time clock terminal is connected to the Digi device.
• Verify that the Digi unit is powered on.
• Check that both the red and green indicator lights on the Digi are illuminated.

Digi Software Installation

• Install the Digi software from the provided CD.
• Do not adjust any DIP switches on the Digi device.
• The Digi software will automatically locate the network IP address.
• Accept all default settings during installation.
• Select the default connection type listed at the top of the menu, labeled “REAL One.”

This is a straightforward installation. No advanced configuration is required.

After installation is complete, remove the Digi software CD and store it along with the printed or electronic instructions for future reference.

Determine the Assigned COM Port

• Open My Computer (usually located on the desktop).
• Open Device Manager.
• Expand Ports (COM & LPT).
• Locate the entry labeled Digi SP COM.
• Note the COM port number shown (for example, COM3 or COM4).

You will need this COM port number for the time clock software configuration.

Time Clock Software Configuration

Start the time clock software and navigate to the clock configuration or clock list screen. Enter the following settings:

• Clock Name: User-defined (any descriptive name)
• Clock Type: HP00X0
• COM Port: Use the Digi SP COM port number identified earlier
• Dial-Up String: Leave this field blank

Save the configuration and test communication with the clock. If the COM port is entered correctly and all connections are secure, the system should establish communication successfully.
