Overview
-
The Athena is our cost effective durable solution
for businesses who want power in an easy to use compactly designed package. The Athena brings
automated time & attendance functionality to you in a sleek compact design capable of tracking
over 50,000 punch events and 30,000 card holders. Don’t under estimate the Athena because of her
small stature and elegant design. The Athena not only accurately tracks time & attendance, but it
can also be used for access control purposes.
That means that this tiny machine can be used for your time & attendance needs and if you decide
you want to secure a doorway, you can still utilize the Athena. The user also has the option of viewing
their last recorded time, transferring departments, or entering other information like tips, miles, etc.
The large LCD provides maximum readability, and the on-board speaker provides audible
confirmation of a complete or incomplete transaction. In addition, data can optionally be
downloaded directly from the Athena, via a USB disk drive making the Athena great for locations
without physical connectivity.
The Athena comes standard with two easy ways to connect to the InfiniTime Labor Management
System. The Athena can connect via RS-232 cable for direct communication to a PC. The Athena can
also communicate across a network via TCP/IP Ethernet port.

How
It Works
-
The Athena is one of the easiest devices you and
your employees will ever operate. Employees can operate the Athena in two ways. The first is to
simply wave their pre-assigned badge in front of the Athena (within 10-15 cm). The second option
is to enter their pre-assigned PIN number into the Athena. Successfully doing either one of these
processes will trigger an audible tone and flash an LED light to confirm that the employee has
been clocked in or out. The access control features of the Athena operate the same. Simply swipe or
enter a PIN number to trigger the door to open.
The data collected by the Athena terminal is then sent to the InfiniTime Labor Management System.
With InfiniTime, detailed reports can be generated, exceptions tracked, and data passed on to payroll
for check processing.

Applications
-
The Athena is capable of performing multiple roles
in your organization. The Athena can be mobile, used in the field without physical connections, &
data downloaded via USB disk, for transfer to the InfiniTime Labor Management System. The
Athena can also be mounted to a wall for permanent time tracking in a single location. The Athena can also
double as an access control device. This makes the Athena a versatile terminal, prime for a fast return
on investment.
With two different connection methods, access control capabilities and the two ways it collects
data, the Athena fits in to the infrastructure of most organizations.
