Communication Configuration (Dayforce Clock Pro Only)

The <communication> controls how the Dayforce Clock Pro communicates with the server and with other clock devices.

<communication> tags
Tag	Description
<proxy>	Controls whether the clock communicates with Dayforce through a proxy server. To configure the clock to communicate through a proxy server, replace `enabled="no"` with `enabled="yes"`. Then, specify the proxy server’s IP address in the `host` attribute and the port number in the `port` attribute. For example, to configure the Dayforce Clock Pro to communicate through port 80 of a proxy server with the IP address 192.0.2.0, specify `<port enabled="yes" host="192.0.0.0" port="80"/>`.
<punch_exchange>	Enables inter-clock communication. When set to `yes`, employees don’t have to perform all of their clock entries for the day on the same clock, if the other steps for inter-clock communication are complete. See Configure Inter-Clock Communication (Hardware Clocks Only).
<root_service_url>	Sets the URL and port number for the Dayforce instance that the clock is connected to. This tag can never rely on the default setting in the clock's config.xml file, and must be set for each clock.
