What's a Blue Dot iButton Receptor?
The Blue Dot iButton Receptor connects to the PC via a USB port and transmits an iButton's unique serial number from the iButton to the PC. The drivers for this device are on the TimePilot software installation CD. At one end of the cable are two iButton probes. You can touch an iButton to either probe or press it until it snaps in.

It is used in several ways:

This product is included in the TimePilot Extreme Blue Starter Kit and is used to set up iButtons for the system.
For users of TimePilot PC, it can be mounted at a PC and used with iButtons to clock in and out. It is an optional accessory and can be purchased at our web site, TimePilot.com.
