Update Clock Firmware (Dayforce Touch Clock Only)

You can update your clock's firmware using the Update Firmware options in Site Setup > Clock Devices.

To update clock firmware:

1. Go to Site Setup > Clock Devices.
2. Expand the clock you want to update the firmware for.
3. In the Update Firmware drop-down list, select one of the following options:
   • None: Instructs the clock to not update firmware at all.
   • Immediate: Instructs the clock to begin downloading the firmware from the server at its next 'heartbeat' interval. As soon as the firmware download is completed, the clock starts to install the new firmware, which restarts the clock and interrupts normal processes on the clock.
   • Scheduled: Instructs the clock to update firmware based on the default setting in the config file (that is, 3:30 AM in the default config file). Users can modify this setting in the custom config file as needed. The following example is taken from the Dayforce Touch Clock default config file:
   • Copy

     <thread name="UpdateFirmware" mode="schedule" active="yes">
           <schedules>
             <schedule>3:30</schedule>
             <randomization>3600</randomization>
           </schedules>
     </thread>
