Hi all, Happy New Year!

Does anyone have any idea how can I find a time clock on the small business
server 2003?
I have installed a Bioelectronix with network capabilities. I conected the
clock to the server like if it was a computer

What does the above mean? How exactly is the clock "connecteId to the server" ?

What I would expect is the clock is a device on the network with an ip address in the same range of the rest of the LAN.

Some clocks have software that can be installed on either the server or a workstation, some have software that requires that the database software be installed as a service on the server. This service collects and stores the punches from the clock. Then a second user interface module that can or should be installed on a workstation that reads the punches out of the server database and allows the payroll admin to do what ever is allowed by that companies software.

Regarding the second level, I know of one that is advertised to allow the user interface software to be installed on the workstation, but it does not work. In the end we had to install the user interface on the server and RDP into the server to use the "user module" to work with the punches contained in the database.

and it is showing an active

How does it show as active?

signal, so I believe it is correct so far. I set up the IP adress on the
clock as instructed by the manufacturer and set up the connection on the
software. I didn't install the software in the server, I installed it in one
of the workstations as I know it is not a good practice to have any software
installed in the server. The problem is that I can't communicate with the
clock. I have tried everything but I don't know how to communicate with a
device that is not a printer or another computer, it just doesn't show even
though it has the valid IP address. The manufacturer can't help either
because they don't know how to deal with SBS 2003. Should I try to install
the software in the server? I didn't try it yet because I am afraid to mess
things up. Any help I appreciate.
