    It does not matter whether the user is punching in or out -- any swipe of the card would activate the relay. Also, the user's name would appear on-screen at that moment: Note that not all TR610 users get this functionality by default; only those users whom you manually add to the white list.

    The rest of this article assumes prior knowledge of AggreGate, and only serves as a short walk-through showing how to quickly set up your TR610 for working with AggreGate. There are two main ways to connect the TR610 to AggreGate, with basic steps common to both ways. The Common Steps 1.

    Administration 3. Note down the IP address of the computer running LinkServer, and make sure the TR610 can reach it (i.e, have them both on the same subnet, or configure the gateway settings on the TR610). 4. Run AggreGate LinkServer.

    LinkServer will wait and listen for it. This is useful in WAN scenarios, when the LinkServer has a stable and accessible IP while the TR610 is behind a corporate firewall or a NAT router. In other words, only the TR610 can reach LinkServer, so discovery (the previous method) would not work.
