Feishu has 3 types of attendance methods: GPS attendance, Wi-Fi attendance, and machine attendance. This article will show you how to set up Wi-Fi attendance (based on public IP address).

⚠️ Risk Warning:

Please select this method cautiously as it's easier to cheat and more difficult to be detected (e.g., attendance group members may cheat through virtual IP software).

I. Overview

If the administrator enables the Wi-Fi attendance function (based on public IP address), the attendance group members can clock in and out with the specified public IP address (can be connected through Wi-Fi or network cable).

Additional notes:

1.What is a public network IP?

Also known as WAN IP, it refers to the non-reserved address on the Internet which is connected with the public network (WAN and LAN are 2 types of Internet access. Computers on WAN and other computers on the Internet can freely access to each other).

◦IP address:

▪It refers to Internet Protocol addresses. The IP address is a unified address format provided by the IP, which assigns a logical address to every network and host on the Internet to avoid differences in physical addresses.

◦Public network IP field range:

▪Class A: 1.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. Mainly allocated to large networks with many hosts but a small number of LAN networks.

▪Class B: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255. Generally used in large international companies and government agencies.

▪Class C: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255. Generally used in small companies, campus networks and research institutions.

▪Class D: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Used for a special purpose. It's also called a broadcast address.

▪Class E: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. Temporary unallocated.

2.Under what circumstances can public network IP attendance be configured?

When the office network has a unified exit IP, the attendance groups of this office area can be configured with public network IP attendance.

◦Advantages: Compared with Wi-Fi MAC addresses, the public IP address is relatively stable and without frequent change.

◦Disadvantages: Attendance group members can counterfeit the IP address through virtual IP software. It's easier to cheat and more difficult to be detected.

3. Conditions of use

The Attendance app should be version 3.2.29 or above. Usually, the app can automatically upgrade. If it can't, please try to close the background process of the app and reopen it.

II. Procedures

1.Enable public network IP attendance

Click on Clock in/out by Wi-Fi, then select More methods.

2.Input public network IP information

There are 2 types of methods of inputting public network IP information: manually create and batch import.

Method 1: Manually create

Click Add public IP address, enter the network name and public IP address in the pop-up window:

Including network name and public network IP address:

•Network name: You can customize the network name. Attendance group members can see this name after they clocked in and out.

•Public network IP address:

◦If you are in an office area, your current public IP address will be shown directly in the pop-up window. You can copy and paste.

◦If you aren't in an office area, please contact your company IT to get the public IP address of the office area.

Method 2: Batch import

It is recommended to contact the IT department for the public IP address and import in batches.
