How to Run Icon SB100Pro or RTC1000 Time Clocks Over the Internet

• Consult your router documentation

• Contact the router manufacturer if needed

• Use IT personnel or a network consultant when available

After configuration, the clock should be reachable using your external IP address.

To locate your external IP:

• Visit a site such as whatismyip.com from a local computer

• Or view the WAN (Wide Area Network) address in your router settings

If connection fails, verify:

• Firewall settings are not blocking incoming traffic

• IP address and port numbers are correct

• No duplicate internal IP addresses exist

• Router filters are not restricting access

Conclusion or Operational Takeaway

Running Icon SB100Pro and RTC1000 clocks over the internet requires two core steps: confirming local network connectivity and properly configuring router port forwarding. Once complete, managers gain secure remote access to punches, clock settings, and attendance data from any location. While the clocks themselves support internet access directly, router configuration depends on individual network environments. When set up correctly, internet-enabled time clocks provide powerful flexibility for multi-location operations, improved oversight, and real-time workforce management without the need for on-site system access.
