eTimeTrackLite Software Support, Training & Troubleshooting in Chennai

Step-by-step enrollment process:

1. Login to eTimeTrackLite as administrator
2. Go to Employee Management → Add New Employee
3. Enter employee details: ID, name, department, designation
4. Click "Save Employee"
5. Go to Biometric Enrollment section
6. Select the employee and device
7. Place employee's finger on biometric sensor
8. Repeat for 4 fingerprints (for better recognition)
9. Verify enrollment was successful

Each employee should have at least 2 fingerprints enrolled. Four fingerprints provides optimal recognition accuracy.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify device is powered on and connected to network
2. Check device IP address - Go to Device Settings → Network
3. In eTimeTrackLite, go to Settings → Device Management
4. Click "Add Device"
5. Enter device IP address correctly
6. Enter device password (default usually: 12345)
7. Click "Connect"
8. If still not connecting, check firewall settings

Common causes: Wrong IP address, firewall blocking, device offline, network issue

Sync troubleshooting:

1. Check device connection status - should be "Online"
2. Verify device has attendance data recorded
3. Go to Device → Synchronize Now (don't wait for auto-sync)
4. Check sync logs for error messages
5. Verify user IDs match between device and eTimeTrackLite
6. Check device memory - may need to clear old data
7. Try restarting the device

Critical: Ensure all employee IDs match between eTimeTrackLite and biometric device exactly (including leading zeros)

Why enrollment fails:

• Dry, dirty, or damaged fingerprints
• Finger placement at wrong angle
• Dirty fingerprint sensor
• Low fingerprint quality (scars, worn fingers)
• Device battery low

How to fix:

1. Clean the fingerprint sensor with soft cloth
2. Ask employee to moisturize their finger slightly
3. Press finger flat and straight on sensor
4. Try different fingers if one fails
5. Try alternative enrollment: Iris scanning or card-based enrollment (if device supports)

Troubleshooting mobile access:

1. Verify employee account is created and enabled in admin panel
2. Check employee password - reset if needed
3. Verify internet connection on mobile device
4. Check if app is compatible with employee's phone (iOS/Android)
5. Uninstall and reinstall app from app store
6. Clear app cache: Settings → Apps → eTimeTrackLite → Clear Cache
7. Try VPN if connection is blocked by firewall

Server-side checks: Verify cloud server is running and accessible from internet

Generating payroll reports:

1. Go to Reports section in eTimeTrackLite
2. Select "Payroll Report"
