Connect Tempo to Ethernet

Overview

Depending on your configuration, you may be required to manually connect your Tempo hardware to a local network via Ethernet to send punch details to Peoplenet.

Follow these steps to connect or reconnect to a local network using the Tempo Ethernet adapter.

For best results, we recommend using DHCP network settings with Tempo.

Before you begin

  • Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to the port at the bottom of the bracket.
  • Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the local port.

Steps

If the network settings allow a DHCP connection type, no further configuration is required. Tempo will automatically select the settings it needs to send punch details to Bullhorn Time & Expense.

If the network settings require a Static IP connection type, you must manually configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, and DNS settings.
