How to resolve timeclock errors

Download Instructions

Clock connection problems with the clocks will manifest themselves in one of three ways:

1. If the clock is working, but punches are not showing up on people's timecards, then the clock has stopped communicating with the system and has to be reconnected. To do this, follow these steps:

- First, unplug the clock from power for about ten seconds, then plug it back in. Wait about two minutes and check to see if the problem is fixed.
- If the problem persists, press the Super button to access the Supervisory Functions menu.
- Enter your clock number.
- Place your finger on the sensor.
- On the Supervisor menu, scroll to Force Connection, and hit Enter.

2. If some employees who were previously enrolled on the clock and had successfully punched before are now getting a "Badge Not Found" error, then the clock received an incomplete upload of employee information and needs to run a new upload. To do this, follow these steps:

- First, call an IT staff (Scott Butler or John Giaquinto) and ask them to setup a Manual Poll for your clock.
- Once the Manual Poll is set, follow the steps from #1 to do a Force Connect.

3. If the clock says, "Waiting for Host," then the clock has lost its connection to the system as well as its programming. To reconnect it, follow these steps:

- First, unplug the clock from power for about ten seconds, then plug it back in. Wait about two minutes and check to see if the problem is fixed.
- If the problem persists, hold down the Clear and Enter buttons together for about five to ten seconds, until a menu appears.
- Using the right-arrow hey to scroll, select Enter Setup Mode, and hit the Enter key.
- Scroll to Exit Setup Mode, and hit Enter.
- At the Hardware Reset prompt, select to Yes, and hit Enter.

Not number 4 because this has nothing to do with the software error, but is a problem that has been encountered at several sites. If the clock beeps every thirty seconds or a minute and says, "DHCP Not Found," then the clock has been disconnected from the router. Check the data cable running from the clock to the router and make sure it is plugged in securely to one of the LAN ports on the router.

Marrakech Guidelines for Computer and Email Use
Download Instructions

Computer access:

All Marrakech computers can be accessed through a local account. When logging in to the computer, type in the user name "Staff", leave the password blank, and log on to "This computer." Most computers also have a local "Supervisor" account with a password that is shared only with Marrakech supervisory staff.

Additionally, any computer a 6 Lunar Drive, 8 Lunar Drive, 514/524/526 Whalley Avenue, or 450 Island Lane can be accessed using your server account. When logging on, enter the user name and password for your server account, and set Log On To to "MARRAKECH".

All Marrakech computers are setup with antivirus software to protect the system. Any user who notices a problem or error with the antivirus software should notify the IT department so that the problem can be fixed and the system can be protected.

Account Security:

All users with Marrakech server accounts are responsible for maintaining the security of their passwords. Only Marrakech IT staff and the Senior Director of Administration are authorized to know the password to accounts other than their own. An account password grants the user access to a Marrakech emailbox and to files on the Marrakech file server. Marrakech users are not authorized to transfer this access to anyone else; only the IT Coordinator and the IT Manager can authorize access. There is no sharing of accounts permitted; every user must have his or her own individual account, with an individual emailbox and an individual set of access rights.

If anyone other than you knows your password, or if you know the password to any account other than your own, you should inform the IT Manager or IT Coordinator so that the password on the account can be changed.

Server files:

Marrakech implemented centralized server-based file storage in 2005, both to improve our capability to share information and to comply with HIPAA regulations regarding the security of Protected Health Information stored electronically. There are three main divisions of server files:

Individual Storage: Every user has their own directory under Individual Storage, and that user is the only one who can access that directory. Individual Storage is for the storage of general files the do not need to be shared with other users.

Public Files: Information that is available to all users is stored under Public Files. This includes information like job descriptions, blank forms, inservice records, and training packets. This information is read-only for the majority of users.

Shared Files: Shared Files are files that must be read by multiple users, but not all users. Each directory under Shared files is accessible by a different group of users.

All confidential information should be stored only on the server, where it will be password protected and access is limited to authorized users only. This includes, but is not limited to, all files that contain Protected Health Information as defined by HIPAA.

File Access:

When a user logs on to a computer located at 6 Lunar Drive, 8 Lunar Drive, 514/524/526 Whalley Avenue, or 450 Island Lane using their username and password, they are automatically connected to the shared file storage on the server. The shared files will appear under My Computer as a mapped network drive, S:. File access is limited to the access privileges of the account used to logon to Windows.

In order to access server files from a remote site, meaning any site other than those four, users log in remotely to a system located at 6 Lunar Drive. Step-by-step instructions for this procedure are available from the IT Department, and are being distributed to the Desktops of systems in place at remote sites.

All users of Marrakech computers need to maintain file security of server files while they are connected to the server. This includes logging off of the computer when it is not in use to prevent someone from gaining access without a password, turning the computer monitor away from open doorways to prevent passers-by from viewing confidential information on the screen, and the use of a password-protected screensaver to prevent unauthorized access when a user steps away from their computer. The use of password-protected screensavers in this manner is required by both Marrakech policy and HIPAA regulations. In order to verify that your password is setup correctly, do the following:

1. On a blank part of the desktop (i.e., not on any icon or open window) right-click, and on the menu that appears select Properties.
2. Select the Screen Saver tab.
3. Any screen saver may be selected. "Wait X minutes" should be set to one, and the box for password protection should be checked off.

Email Access:

Marrakech uses web-based email. This means that Marrakech email is accessible from any computer with internet access, without having to install or configure any software. To access email:

1. Open a web browser.
2. In the address box, type "mail.marrakechinc.org" and hit Enter.
3. After a moment, you will be redirected to the mail login page.
4. Accept the security certificate and proceed to the webpage when asked.
5. Log in using your username and password.
6. When you are done with your mail session, click Log Off.

If your browser supports it, you will be given the option of choosing between Premium view and Basic view. The Premium view closely resembles the interface of Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Basic view is a more straightforward interface with fewer frills. Use whichever you prefer.

The login screen also lets you select whether you're logging in from a public or a private computer. Unless you are using a computer in a private room where only you have access, you should always select public computer.

All Marrakech emails must have a HIPAA security signature. To setup your signature, click the Options button on the left-hand pane. On the options screen, click the checkbox to automatically include a signature with all messages. If you are using the Premium layout, click the Edit Signature button, type your signature in the box that opens, click Save and Close in that box, then click Save and Close on the main Options page. If you are using the Basic layout, then the signature box is right there on the Options page. Enter your signature in the box, then click Save and Close.

All Marrakech email users are responsible for checking their email at least daily. Users are further expected to respond in a timely manner to requests made by the persons served, families, and other customers.

Email Security:

It's very important to remember to always hit Log Off when you are done with your email. This prevents someone else from accessing your email without having to enter your password. Even if you close the browser window, it is still possible for your password to be kept in memory and for someone else to get into your mail without having to enter the password. The only sure ways to clear your password are to either Log Off from the email before you close the browser, or to log off the computer.

Email as a rule is not secure. Any email sent to or from any non-Marrakech account is not secure, and therefore cannot contain any confidential information, including but not limited to Protected Health Information as defined by HIPAA. Any information about a person's diagnosis or treatment, even the use of a person's initials, in an email sent outside the agency (i.e., to any address that doesn't end with @marrakechinc.org) is a violation of confidentiality.

All Marrakech mail is hosted on an internal server that is kept secure. This means that if the sender and all recipients of an email message are Marrakech mail accounts, that message is kept secure, and can contain confidential information so long as all recipients of the email are authorized for the information. It is important to remember that this applies only to mail sent between Marrakech users; any mail sent to or from a non-Marrakech email account is not secure and cannot contain any confidential information whatsoever.

Unsolicited commercial email, or spam, is ubiquitous. In 2007, 95% of all email traffic worldwide was spam. These messages can contain mere advertisements, or phishing scams, or fraud attempts, or even viruses or other malware. Much of the spam received at Marrakech is filtered out, but no filter can be 100% effective. Some spam messages will make it into the Inbox; when it does, just delete it. Also inevitable are false-positives, real mail that is mistakenly tagged by the filter as spam. Users should periodically check through the Junk E-mail folder and the Spam Folder to check for messages moved there by mistake.

All Marrakech computers, including the mail server, are protected from spam-borne malicious infection by antivirus software. Sometimes just viewing a spam email can infect an unprotected system. Any user who notices a problem or error with the antivirus software should notify the IT department so that the problem can be fixed and the system can be protected. Anyone who chooses to read their email form a non-Marrakech computer should be sure that the computer they are using is adequately protected from potential infection.
