INTRODUCTION

This manual will walk you through, tab by tab, the full functionality of the program. When you open the

installed clockwise application, it will open on the “Devices” tab. Before learning the tab content please take

a look at the top portion of the application (Figure 1.1). This is the header and accessible throughout all

tabs.

Note: Confirm Internet connectivity prior to opening the Clockwise software to ensure the application is able

to communicate with the Advanced Network Devices endpoints on your network and auto-populate the

“Devices” tab in Clockwise.

HEADER

a. Display of last played sound. Click the sound image to play the sound.

PRIORITY SETTING

Several of the tabs have a priority setting; think of this as choosing which items are most important. This takes effect when two

actions are scheduled at the same time.

The priority is set on a scale from 1-99; the lower the number the higher the priority. If there are two items with that are set

equal, most recent action will be executed.

Figure 1.2

Figure 1.3

Example:

To ensure that you’re passing period countdown begins on schedule rather than continuing the news feed, set the series

priority of the passing period as “10” and the newsfeed as priority “50.” Reserve the highest priority, “1” for emergency

events.

CLOCK TAB

The Clock Tab is used to send periodic sounds to a speaker or group of speaker on the hour, half-hour, and/or quarter-hour.

SOUND SCHEDULING

1. Clockwise Sounds: The Clockwise software comes with a library of pre-recorded sounds and full programs that can be

loaded on to your computer at download. Once the sounds are loaded they are accessible from the themed category

buttons in the middle of the screen

Click on the subcategory and then chose the program within that category for the full program detail.

a. The sound bar contains all of the downloadable, themed categories of sounds.

b. Pre-recorded sounds

2. Load your own sounds: The AND device and clockwise software will support most .wav files, from clips to full sounds.

Save the file locally then drag and drop the new .wav file into the scheduling tool.

SCHEDULING OPTIONS

There are two ways to schedule chimes, bells, and other sounds.

1. Abbreviated Version: This gives you the ability to schedule sounds on the quarter hour defined by morning, day, evening

and night for a total of 16 sound options in a 24 hour period.

2. Full Version: There is also a full scheduling tool that gives you the ability to play a different sound every 15 minutes for a

total of 96 different sounds in a 24 hour period

ABBREVIATED VERSION OF THE SCHEDULING TOOL

This is your best option when looking for a uniform sound throughout a standard 24 hour time period.

Figure 2.2

Figure 2.1 b.

a.

Clockwise Manual

11

1. Define “morning”, “day”, “evening” and “night” based on when you would like the sounds to change

2. Set the corresponding “brightness” and “Volume”. This is also schedulable by “morning”, “day”, “night” and “evening”

3. Now you can begin to add sounds by:

a. Dragging and dropping from one box to another (useful when using the same sound for multiple time slots (i.e.

on the ½ hour and on the hour)

b. Double clicking on the box you would like to select a file for and browsing within your hard drive for previously

saved files

c. Choosing a pre-made schedule from the categories and then sub-categories that you loaded with the clockwise

software sounds

FULL SCHEDULING TOOL

This is the tool that allows you to schedule a different sound on each of the 96 fifteen minute intervals in a 24 hour day.

1. Click the “Program Details” button in the upper right hand corner to open the full scheduling window

Example:

If you want a traditional westminster chime to play both before the school day starts (8am), after the

school day ends (3pm), but traditional school bells during the school day you would set.

Morning: 6am (westminster / full brightness)

Day: 8am (traditional school bells / full brightness)

Evening: 3:15pm (westminster/ full brightness)

Nights: 8pm (westminster / LEDs Dimmed)

Defined “Morning”

Sound 1

Sound 2

Tips & Tricks:

To conserve energy you want the LED to dim once the building should be empty (8pm) this is why in the previous

step we set “evening” to 8pm. While you may want to use the same sounds (westminster) you can lower the

brightness. You will need the clocks to return to full brightness at 6am when practices begin so again while the

chimes might stay the same “morning” was set at 6am to again adjust the brightness settings)

Clockwise Manual

12

Note: You will be able to tell this feature is being used based on whether or not you see “variable” in red text in any of the 16

boxes on the abbreviated display (Figure 2.4). If you do see “variable” Clockwise is telling you that various .wav files have been

slotted for different “on the ¼ hours” or “on the ½ hour” etc for the pre defined “morning” “day”, “evening” or “night hours” --- If

you look at figure 2.4 you can see that it shows “variable” for the morning on the hour. If you compare that to figure 2.3 of the full

scheduling tool you can see there was “sound 1” inserted for 6am and then “sound 2” inserted for 7 and 8 am

2. Now that the full scheduling tool is open you can begin to add sounds the same way as you would in the abbreviated

tool:

a. Dragging and dropping from one box to another (useful when using the same sound for multiple time slots (i.e. on

the ½ hour and on the hour)

b. Double clicking on the box you would like to select a file for and browsing within your hard drive for previously

saved files

c. Choosing a pre-made schedule from the categories and then sub-categories that you loaded with the clockwise

software sounds

3. Once you are finished, you have the option to “Save and Close” or “Cancel” should you not want the work to be saved or

the previous schedule overridden.

4. Once you have clicked “Save and Close” and are satisfied with the sound in your program, you have the option to save it

under “User” along with the other pre-made programs that were downloaded at installation. To do this click the “New

Program” button, give it a name, and click “Ok”.

Figure 2.4

Figure 2.3

EVENTS TAB

This is the tab in which you will enter all scheduled items outside of the bell scheduling/chimes on the clock tab. You are able to

schedule scrolling and static text, audio, and timers.

a. Turns off all alarms/events but will not delete them

Tips & Tricks:

If at any point you would like to return to the previous program (i.e. you chose to start with the pre-made

Traditional Westminster program and make a few changes and accidently deleted the ½ hour sounds rather than

the intended ¼ hour sounds) you can click “restore factory defaults” and the program will return to the to the

original sound and schedule.

It can be one or any combination of the three of these items (i.e. you would enter in and set up the Twitter, RSS, and Google search term feed in the RSS / Twitter feeds Tab (see section 10). However you would then come here to schedule when it would run and across which device)

4. Select the:

• Frequency - “one time”, “weekly”, etc from the drop down menu

• Start Date

• Time - from the drop down menu

5. Run the event by placing a check mark next to desired devices.

6. Click “Test” to preview it on an AND device you are able to see (we recommend setting up clockwise in a location when you

have access to a device) or click “Save” to add to the schedule of events

Tips & Tricks: Easily sort through events by clicking on any of the headings to organize them by criteria

LIVE SOUND TAB

The live sound tab displays 3 ways to utilize the AND combination of microphone and speaker in each device

PAGING—TRADITIONAL PAGING SYSTEM

1. Select the device that you would like to receive a page.

2. Select the sounds and speaker volume that you would like to play before your page (i.e. a double beep) to notify the intended

listener that a page is to follow.

3. Click “Start on Checked”

4. Speak into the PC’s (the PC that is running clockwise) microphone or any microphone hooked up to the PC.

5. Click “Stop” to end the page

TWO WAY INTERCOM

1. Select the device from the list that you would like to talk to (you are only able to talk with one device at a time).

2. Set the speaker volume as well as the microphone volume (how loud the talk back will be)

Tips & Tricks:

Tip: “Mute” would be similar to the “Hold” functionality of the phone.

Figure 7.1

Clockwise Manual

27

3. Click “Start on Checked” -- This action will automatically set up a connection between the two devices allowing for two-way

communication. Optional button installation allows for push to talk communication.

4. Speak into the PC’s microphone or any microphone hooked up to the PC.

5. Click “Stop” to end two way intercom

MONITOR

Monitors sounds via a device’s microphones and transmits them to ClockWise for display via the computer’s speakers. It is conceptually the opposite of paging.

1. Select the device from the list that you would like to listen to (you are only able to monitor one device at a time).

2. Set the device microphone volume (how loud you want the sound to be)

3. Click “Start on Checked” to start

4. Click “Stop” to end

Example:

You have an office with 20 devices. When the office building is closed security could use this functionality to

listen to each of the devices from the front desk to detect sound. If a device detects sound you then know

there is an intruder in the building.

Tips & Tricks:

Tip: “Mute” would be similar to the “Hold” functionality of the phone.

PC AUDIO

This tab allows the ClockWise PC’s audio to be streamed to any number of AND devices. A common use for this is

background music. If a music generating program like Windows Media Player, WinAmp, or Pandora is running on you ClockWise

computer, then you could use this tab to stream that music to any or all AND devices on you network.

a. A unique name associated with the stream for ease of use.

b. The multicast IP or DNS name used to send the audio data. Must be between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255

SOUND LIBRARY TAB

This is a means for importing sounds into clockwise as well as a way to preview sounds to be used in events, alerts, or bell

scheduling/clock chimes function.

PREVIEWING SOUNDS

1. Choose a category on the left

2. Then choose a sub category

3. Select a sound file on the right as well as the device(s) that you would like it to play on.

Note: Sound will immediately start upon selection, click the “Stop” button to stop sound.

a. Opens a document that has information about getting more sounds

b. Adjust volume by moving the slide (move slide to the right to increase)

c. Opens the folder where the sounds are saved

ADDING NEW SOUND FILES TO CLOCKWISE

1.) In Windows Explorer, find the “Application Data Directory”, and then the subdirectory: “\Clockwise\Sound files\”

2.) Add a new directory or add sounds to another directory (adding a new directory creates a new category in the Clock tab)

3.) If you added a new directory, open it, and then add a sub-category directory (adding a directory here creates a button on the

new category tab)

4.) Add sound files to the sub-category directory, or to existing subcategory directories (mono, 16 bit .wav files of 44.1kHz,

22.05kHz)

5.) Close and re-open Clockwise

You can now see the sounds in the sound library. You are done at this point, and can use the files in Alerts, events, etc. unless you

want to create clock chimes with this button, in which case, continue on...

6.) Click the "Program Details" button on clock tab

7.) Configure the clock as desired

8.) Hold down the Shift key and click “Save/Close” (which auto-create a factory settings file). This acts as a “Save as” function and

therefore you will never need to use the Shift key when saving/closing again.

Details

There is a sound library located in the application directory for this program.

For Example:

For XP: C:\Documents and Settings\bdonahoe\Application Data\ClockWise\Sound files\

For Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\ClockWise\Sound files\

The "Sound Files" directory you will be able to locate subdirectories (categories of sounds) of .wav files (each being a button). Each

subdirectory constitutes a particular "sound program" and contains all of the sounds for one button in the application.

The buttons are autogenerated based on the directories.

Each of the sound files in each subdirectory should have the following properties to work on AND devices:

- Windows .WAV format

Clockwise Manual

31

- 44.1kHz or 22.05kHz sampling rate

- mono

- 16 bit or 8-bit 8kHz u-law

These sound programs / buttons will only be recognized at startup of the application. Therefore close and re-open Clockwise if you

have added a program.

Other formats are supported for PC-only applications, but the above format will work best for the network devices.

The top level directory (the category) automatically creates a tab (a group of sounds category) in the application. If this directory is

deleted, the tab and all of the associated buttons (i.e. sound programs) will disappear upon restart of the program.

For functioning clock chimes, each subdirectory of sounds will also require a "factory_settings.txt" file. To create a

“factory_settings.txt” file, either copy one from a different directory already containing a “factory_settings.txt” file (and edit it

appropriately), or create one automatically by configuring a detailed program. This can be done by clicking "Program Details" and

creating a full program (see “Full Scheduling Tool”). After the program is configured hold down the Shift key while clicking

“Save/Close”. This action will auto create the “factory_settings.txt” file based on the previous program configuration.

While sound files can be loaded from anywhere on your computer, factory settings they must reside in this subdirectory.
