1 – Introduction

This reference manual explains com mands that a re used to setup, maintain, produce reports on, and diagnose problems for a CFN III system.

Your service technician will set up your CFN III and introduce you to some of its features. This manual can help you avoid many unnecessary service calls, and help assure that your CFN III works the way you want it to.

This manual is for anyone who needs to know how to issue commands to the CFN III, or interpret the log printout and other reports. Generally the site manager or person in charge of operations at the site should be familiar with this manual and its contents so you can operate and maintain the CFN III information. Attendants do not need to read this manual in order to operate the Check Point or Profit Point consoles, which are covered in other manuals.

Introduction

This manual is not intended to be read cover to cover, but you should become familiar with its contents so you can look up information when you need it.

Your Operating System

Your Site Controller III (SC III) comes with a PC operating system called Windows NT access the command window and/or applications you must use your mouse. You must move t he mouse (which moves t he arrow on the scree n) ove r the icon that you want to open and double click, using the left mouse button. Your technician will instruct you on the basics of this system and accessing your CFN3 command window . The CFN3 command window mus t remain running at all times. It can be minimized, more about that later, but once closed, you will lose contact with the site controller.

When the CFN3 software was installed, your technician or system administrator configured it with your particular devices and the procedures your company follows. Fo r e xampl e, if your site accepts cash for fuel, the CFN III has been told whether the customer is required to pay before pumping (a prepay system) or is allowed to pay after pumping (a postpay system).

from Microsoft. This new system is icon based, meaning that to

Starting your SC III

The computer is turned on (booted) by pressing the button on the front of the computer. Make sure that the monitor is turned on and there are no diskettes in the A: drive. It will take a few moments t o start. You do not need to double click the CFN3 icon to start operations, the operating system has been programmed

Introduction

to do this for you. The CFN3 command window automatically opens. Press the return key if your signon prompt does not display immediately.

Quitting Your CFN3 Application

The preferred way to quit the CFN3 application is to press the ALT key and while continuing to press the ALT key , press the X key. This will terminate your site operations. Should you forget this, this method is mentioned when you log on at the top of the screen as illustrated in Figure 1-1.

Minimizing the Command Window

The site controller runs with either the command window open or minimized.

Minimizing the CFN3 command window collapses th e window on your desktop into the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, running it in the background. To place the window in the background, click the small box in the upper right corner of the command window that has an underline. Notice the box with the “X”. Clicking once on the X will quit the application and terminate site operations; this is not the r ecommended wa y of qui ttin g th e site operat ions. You need to log on again by double clicking on the CFN3 icon. Remember that the CFN3 command window must remain either open or minimized to communicate with the SC III. If your window is not open, or has been “minimized”, click once, using the left mouse button, on the CFN3 box in the taskbar to open the window onto the desktop.

Should you accidently quit the CFN3 program by clicking in the “X” in the upper right corner, double click on the CFN3 icon using the left mouse button and log in again.

Levels of Operation

The SC III has 2 user levels of operation: Gasboy, which is the daily CFN3 operation (and Integral Profit Point if you have it) and Administrator which allows you to add software updates, create/delete users, add passwords, change your PC settings , etc. You can run your site from t he Administ rator level b ut it is not recommended.

Gasboy is the default login (user) and is the working level of operation. All CFN3 operations occur at this login level. When you turn on the computer the user is Gasboy with GASBOY as the password. The desktop will contain very few icons; CFN3, CFN3 Help, My Computer, and Integral Profit Point (optional). Your day to day site operations use this login.

Figure 1-1 shows a typical CFN3 desktop with the various icons available and

the CFN3 command window open. Notice in Figure 1-1 that the CFN3 icons (CFN3, the Integral Profit Point and the CFN3 HELP) are located in the lower left of this desktop. Icons are your li nk to starting your software programs. Th e icons can be placed anywhere on the desktop but must always be available should you need to open the program.

At the bottom of the scree n is a taskba r. Whe never an appl icati on is open it wil l be represented at the bottom of the screen in this taskbar. If you minimize the CFN3 command window it will be represented in this taskbar. This is your identification that the CFN3 command window is still running. The command window must remain open, or run in the background (minimized), to communicate with the site control ler.

Clicking on the box representing the program will open or minimize the program’s window on the desktop.

Introduction

2 – Site Controller III

System Overview

The Site Con troller III (SC III) is the brain of the CFN III Syst em. Its job is to keep you informed of what is goi ng on at your site and to enable you to c ont rol the various pieces of equipment involved in a fueling operation, such as fuel pumps or dispensers, automatic gates, and tank gauges.

The SC III collects infor mation abou t what each de vice is doi ng and ma kes that information available to you in a convenient format. When you issue commands to the Site Controller-for example, to tell it to authorize a sale on a fuel pump-it forwards the request to the pump hardware, then monitors the sale in case something goes wrong. It puts control of all the connected devices at your fingertips.

Site Controller III

When the SC II I was installed, your technician or system administrator configured it with the PC operating system, along with your particular devices and the procedures your company follows. For example, if your site accepts cash for fuel, the SC III has been told whether the customer is required to pay before pumping (a prepay system) or is allowed to pay after pumping (a postpay system).

CFN3 Command Window

New for version 3.4: there is no longer the separation of the PC drives and the SC3 root directory. The P: drive is your CFN3 prompt and the location of the SC3 root directory.

The command window has an P[drive: /direct ory]* prompt wher e you will enter your commands to the SC III. If you do not see this prompt you will need to press the ENTER key to bring up the signon prompt. Sign on as instructed and press ENTER. The P* prompt will display. The command window must be “active” to communicate with the SC III. Active means that the window appears on the desktop with a colored band at the top displaying the words CFN3. If the band is gray then the window is not active. To activate the window, move the desktop arrow over the window (using the mouse) and cli ck once using the left mouse button. For more information about your command window and the desktop see “Introduction” on page 1.

Consoles

In order to use the SC III fully, you must kno w how to give it co mmands and to understand its repli es. The two point of sale devices tha t communicate with the

MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004 Page 9

Site Controller III

Readers

SC III are the Check Point and/or Profit Point consoles.

The consoles combine pump control and ca sh-register functions . They allow you to turn on pumps and accept cash or other payment. They are used at sites that do retail business, accept cash or credit cards in the store. The Check Point and Profit Point manuals describe console operations.

Readers are devices that communicate with the CFN system and allow input from the end user. They can activate pumps, display messages, and print receipts. Readers can con sis t of any combinat ion of a cu stomer di splay, keypad, card reader, and receipt printer. Some readers are “in dispenser” and are specifically assigned to a single pump. Stand-alone readers can represent multiple pumps and require a pump selection from the user. To obtain a receipt from these reader s, the us er must r eturn t o the re ader a fter comp leting a fuel sa le and re-swipe the card or enter the pump number that was used.

The Log Printer

Another device, the log printer prints a continuous record of transactions and may also be used to print reports. Every site needs some type of printer. It is important to know how to read the information that comes out of the printer, since it includes data about completed sales and messages about any errors that have occurred.

The log printer generates an on- going recor d on paper of import ant even ts at the site. These include sales transactions and system messages generated when certain commands are run or when errors are detected during operation.

The log printer, such as an Okidata site personnel can read its output. The output of the log printer serves both as a maintenance log and an audit trail. For example, the log printer records an entry as each sale is concluded and also any time a problem is detected in an attached pump, island card reader, or other device. Since the printed log is an important business record, it is important not to let the log prin ter jam or run out of paper.

In order to print, the log pri nter must be in th e state called on-line or ready. This is usually indicated by a light on the front panel of the printer. The log printer normally goes off- line automatically when it jams or runs out of paper. You can take the log printer off-line to load paper. Most printers have a switch labeled on-line or select for taking them on- and off-line.

184 plain printer, should be located where

A properly connected a nd config ured l og printer will not ify the SC III whene ver it goes off-line, so that no data will be sent to it until it is ag ain ready to print.

Page 10 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

However, the space available for storing such output is limited, so the log printer should not be left off-line for long periods while the site is operating.

It is possible to print a file on a log printer. This is usually done at shift change or by a local au tomatic command file. When a file is printed on the log this way, the terminal beeps and prints the header -Printing: filename date time where filename is the name of the file being print ed.

Command Terminals

Site commands can be entered through local or remote terminals. The local terminal is the command window on your SC III PC. A remote terminal is connected to the site through one of the SC III’s RS232 ports. It can be any dumb terminal such as the LINK or another PC running terminal emulator software capable of sup port i ng VT10 0 or VT52 (such as Procomm Plus remote terminal can also be a modem connection.

Site Controller III

). The

Commands

Commands are instructions you type in the CFN3 Command window. CFN3 commands must be typed in exactly the format shown in this manual. Most commands are words or abbreviations for the action to be performed. For example, typing PRINT DATE and then pressing the ENTER key causes the SC III to print the curren t date and time according to its internal clock.

Some commands, as explained in this manual, have short forms that you can use instead of typing the whole command in order to save time. In the above example, PRINT DATE could have been typed P DA.

Besides command words, other special symbols, such as < and >, provide flexibility in redirecting the input to or output from commands.

Command keys

The keyboards on all types of PCs have much in common. The SC III uses several specific keys for specific functions. These keys may be located in different positions on different keyboards.

Locate the DELETE, CONTROL, ENTER, and ESCAPE keys on your keyboard. Note that:

System-response Problems

When you open the CFN3 command window, it should display a P* at the top left of the screen. If not, press the ENTER or RETURN key on your local terminal, the system should respond with a signon prompt. Should the system not respond, close the window by pressing the ALT key, hold it down, and then press the X key. Release both keys. Open the CFN3 window again by double clicking on the CFN3 icon. Press ENTER to get the signon prompt.

CFN3 Command Sessions

After signing on, you may enter data and commands until you either sign off or are signed off automatically. The time during which you are signed on is referred to as a command session.

How to Sign On

T o si gn on to t he Site Control ler, you enter a user numbe r and si gn-on code. Se e below for how to add new users and change sign-on codes.

To sign on:

1 Press ENTER.

The terminal will print the message signon:.

2 Type your user number, a comma, and your sign-on code, and press ENTER.

For example, if your user number is 3, and your sign-on code is hawk, type 3,hawk. If your sign-on code has any uppercase letters, make sure you enter them in uppercase. The terminal will not echo the password you type for security reasons. If you do not enter a user number, user number 0 will be assumed.

When you are properly signed on, the terminal prints a message such as Connected to site 1010 on Tue 7/27/04 1:12PM to show that the command session has begun and it is ready to accept commands. The next line displays the command prompt (P*).

How to Sign Off

To end a command session, press ESCAPE or type EXIT or QUIT and press ENTER.

The terminal will accept no further commands until you or someone else signs on again. When you sign off, the terminal prints Sign off Tue 10/ 26/04 1:25PM. Do not click the “X” in the upper right corner of the window.

Automatic Sign Off

If you do not type anyth ing on the terminal for 5 minutes, th e te rminal ends the command se ssion automatically. This protects the system if you forget to sign off.

Site Controller III

Commands tell the site controller to perform particular actions, such as printing reports or changing prices.

To enter a command, type the command on the terminal keyboard and press ENTER.

After the site controller finishes performing the action requested by a command, it will respond with the current drive letter followed by an asterisk (P*) to show that it is ready to accept another command. This lett er-asterisk combination is called the command prompt, since it prompts you to enter a command. Anytime you see the command prompt, the site controller is ready to accept a command.

For example, if you type the PRINT DATE command and press ENTER, the terminal prints the date and time, followed by the command prompt to indicate that the command has been executed and the terminal is ready to accept another command.

If a command requires that you enter data, the terminal will ask a question—which is called a data entry prompt—indicating what type of data you should enter. If the terminal displays a data entry prompt:

• Type the data and press ENTER.

• If the command has several prompts, type the reque st ed dat a and pr ess ENTER after each

one.

• After the last prompt in the series, the terminal will print the command prompt to indicate the command has been executed and the terminal is ready to accept another command.

To print the date, type PRINT DATE and press ENTER.

P* PRINT DATE ↵

Tue 10/26/04 11:40AM,Trans=57, Seq=624 SCIIIv3.x P*

CFN3 will display the date. Command prompt will be displayed.

To load the date:

1 Type LOAD DATE.

P* LOAD DATE ↵ MONTH? 10 ↵ DAY OF MONTH? 26 ↵ YEAR? 04 ↵ HOUR? 13 ↵ MINUTE? 31 ↵

Tue 10/26/04 1:31PM, Trans=154, Seq=332 SCIIIv3.x P*

2 Enter the month (mm format).

3 Enter the day (dd format).

4 Enter the year (yy format).
