Attendance (and presence) - how to configure

Attendance is supposed to monitor users’ arrivals and departures in 2N® Access Commander.

Presence tells, whether the user is currently present on premises, and it works only in the IN-OUT Attendance mode. Presence is disabled in the FREE mode.


Attendance monitoring can be activated as an additional licensed feature for 2N® Access Commander with Advanced (since the version 2.0) license or higher.


You need to have correct time settings set in devices connected to the 2N® Access Commander as well as in the Access Commander itself. If not, Attendance monitoring feature may malfunction.

  • Go to the web interface of the 2N® Access Commander.
