Key Features & Benefits:
TG Sockets Server provides a reliable, efficient and scalable solution for time & attendance transaction processing. The Smart Time Clocks act as a communications client to the IBM System i and connects only when transactions are available to process. If the host server is unavailable due to maintenance activity or network failure, transactions are stored on the Time Clock until the host Server is available, at which time all transactions are forwarded to the System i/Power Server host.
The communications server handles multiple simultaneous transactions from any number of time clocks or other types of 2-way IP addressable data collection devices. Because the server is not “polling” the Time Clock impact on the system utilization is minimal. The TG/Sockets communications server “automatically” starts on the System i and provides advanced system management function such as error messaging via system operator, SMTP email, and SNMP network management protocol. The TG/Sockets communications modules provide detailed diagnostic logging, automatic restart, and open systems TCP communications interfaces. TCP secure sockets Connectivity is also utilized by other platforms
and operating systems such as MVS & AIX.
