%%information: The employee number will be either the "Person code" (defined in [IEID]) or the employees defined "clock card code" (defined in [ITCC]). This is important to know depending on the reader type being used. The clock card code may only be a numeric value since both clocks (G1 and G2) only support numeric keying. The USE_BADGE in the configuration file defines this, a true value will validate against the HR IEID record. A false value will validate against the ITCC record.%%

%%information:If the config file is defined to use the "True" badge, the ITCC clock card code must match the person code and the administrator must use the person code as the badge number when enrolling the employee at the clock. The reason for this is that validation will be looking to the HR identity record using the entered badge and looking for a person code. Since the templates are stored in ITCC, the clock card code must match in order to store the templates.%%

*This feature is useful in tuning the clock depending on the use.
Example: If the clock generally has more than 50 employees punching IN/OUT at a time the clock may encounter a high volume of stored punches. In the field, memory could potentially be filled up if a network or database was not available.
This test will identify to the administrator the maximum number of punches before it must shut down and wait for communication to upload. A sample punch will be requested in order to use the correct amount of memory for each punch. The clock will then queue as many punches the clock will successfully record. That number will be made available to the administrator.

*Once the maximum is found each company may decide the maximum memory capacity is not a business practice they would like to allow each clock to hold in cases of emergency. There are two configuration file attributes available to set a ceiling for stored punches where the clock will stop allowing punches and provide a configurable message to the users that a manager must be notified the clock is full. The second is used once communication comes back on line the clock will begin again down loading queued punches. When the queue size reaches the thaw limit, the clock will then become operational and accept punches.
Both attributes are located in the configuration file as QUEUE_LIMIT and THAW_LIMIT. The queue full message is configurable and in the configuration file as QUEUE_FULL, in addition, for the G2 only, a second line is provided as QUEUE_FULL2.
