Integration Requirements
Anviz Clock
PC/Laptop running Windows 11 and access to an administrator account on this machine
Dot NET Desktop Runtime 8 or later installed on the PC/Laptop: Download link for .NET 8 for Windows
A .bootarg file for your database (this will be provided to you by a Sense team member as these are uniquely generated and specific for each organisation)
A wifi network that both the PC/Laptop and Anviz Clock can connect to and transfer data across.
You may want to check with IT to see if there are any potential firewalls or security measures in place that will prevent any 3rd party apps from transferring data across your local networks.
Preparation
To ensure the installation process runs smoothly, please complete the following steps before moving on to the integration installation steps:
Save your .Bootarg file to your desktop (it can be deleted after the install)
Open Notepad on your Windows device and note down the IP address(es) being used by your Anviz Clock(s). The IP(s) should be separated with a comma (no spaces). Save the file to your desktop as “clockip”.
