Select the Access Restriction method using the pull-down.
(OPTIONAL) If creating a Whitelist or Blacklist to restrict caller access, enter the new name or number displayed on the Caller ID in the Add new name or number field.
Select the Clock In/Out Restrictions using the pull-down.
(OPTIONAL) If creating a "Whitelist" or "Blacklist" to restrict clock ins/outs, enter the new name or number displayed on the Caller ID in the Add new name or number field.
Select the PIN Number Requirement using the pull-down.
Select the PIN Length using the pull-down.
NOTE: If you are changing the PIN Length, select the "Length Change Behavior" from the pull-down.
Click on the Save Changes button.
(OPTIONAL) To add additional Caller ID names or numbers, enter a new name or number displayed on the Caller ID in the appropriate Add new name or number field then click on the Save Changes button.

TIP: If you will be creating a "Whitelist" or a "Blacklist" but are unsure of the Caller IDs, you can temporarily set the Access Restrictions to "Do not restrict access, but record Caller ID" and set the Clock In/Out Restrictions to "Only allow the following Caller IDs to clock". Then, have each of the authorized phones call in. The TimeIPS Telephone Clocking system will answer their call and record their Caller ID in the Caller ID Logging but will not allow them to clock. You can then generate your "Whitelist" or "Blacklist" and adjust the restriction levels accordingly.

Caller ID Logging

If the Access Restrictions option is not set to "Do not restrict access by Caller ID", the Caller ID Log will contain a list of all calls received by the TimeIPS Telephone Access system. Use the log to verify caller ID names and numbers for use in the above restrictions lists.

Click on the View Caller ID Log button to review the Caller ID list.

Note: If the TimeIPS telephone expects caller ID information to be in the standard North American "Bellcore" format. When connecting to a PBX system, be sure callerID is provided in this format.
