cable connection. This is a 15-foot CAT-5 Cable with gender menders at each end to interface the PC to the Modem Interface Board.

• The distributor is responsible for supplying, and properly installing the towers, masts, or mast mounting brackets.

• The manufacturer's installation manual MUST be followed.

• Up to a 28-foot tower can be installed at the Gasboy system end without the use of guy wires. This can consist of a 10-foot tower and a 10-foot mast for a total of 18 feet, or a 20-foot tower and a 10-foot mast for a total of 28 feet.

• The height of the tower is to be determined by the line of sight requirements of the antenna located on the top of this tower or mast, to the PC wireless modem and its antenna at the top of its mast or tower.

• An appropriate base plate/mounting bracket to support the tower may be sourced from one of the following: – Tally Communication (http://www.talleycom.com/) – Radian (http://www.radiancorp.com/)

Site Installation Review and Considerations

Parts Explanation

Mast or tower at the PC end • Usually, a building mast bracket will be used at the PC end for the wireless modem

antenna. This bracket must be mounted such that the antenna is above the roof line of the building it is attached to.

• Usually, you can install a 10-foot mast which gives an 8-foot height increase from the point of mounting. Masts taller than 10 feet generally require the use of guy wires for support.

• If an appropriate mounting to the side or top of the building cannot be located, a tower may be used.

Coaxial cable and connectors used between wireless modem enclosure and antenna

Conduit If the Gasboy system is not a pedestal mounted TopKAT, conduit from the system

Ground Rods and Ground Wires

• Gasboy requires the use of RG8 or RG8U coaxial cable. Belden 7810 or its equivalent meets the Gasboy cable loss requirement. If you are using Belden 7810 or its equivalent, it is recommended that cable lengths do not exceed 150 feet (45.72 meters).

Note: Ensure that the drip loops are provided on all the coaxial cable runs. These

should be provided in such a manner that all connectors, antennas, wireless modem enclosures and the accesses to the building have a drip loop installed.

to the wireless modem must be supplied.

• Each tower requires a dedicated ground rod located as close as possible to the tower or mast.

• The tower and the wireless modem enclosures ground lug for that particular end of the wireless communication loop MUST be connected to that particular ground rod only.

• The installed ground rod is connected to the tower or mast and to the wireless modem enclosure ground lug with a ground wire not less than AWG #4.

Site Installation Review and Considerations

At the PC End or the Building End of the Wireless Communications Loop

Ensure the following for wireless modem placement and coaxial cable runs:

• PC power and wireless modem power MUST come from the same AC circuit. The wireless modem operates in the 900 MHz range, which is in the same range as some cordless phones and cell phones. It is recommended not to have a 900 MHz spread spectrum phone base in the vicinity of the wireless modem enclosure.

• Gasboy provides a 15-foot RS-232 communications cable from the PC to the Wireless modem. This RS-232 cable can be extended to 50 feet only (15.24 meters) and ONLY in the metal conduit. Cable shield integrity must be maintained if the cable is extended.

• From the wireless modem enclosure to the antenna, you can run RG8/U coaxial cable to the antenna. During the length of this cable run, it MUST not be run along with or bundled to AC conduits, CAT-5, or phone line wires. It may cross over these wires at 90 degrees.

• The antenna must be above the roof line and cl ear of obstructions. This antenna must have a line of sight view of the antenna mounted at the Gasboy system end of the wireless communication loop.

• A standard building wall mount mast bracket will only give an 8-foot rise without the use of guy wires. Gasboy recommends the use of the wall mount at the building so as to not penetrate the building roof. In Northern climates, ensure that the antenna is placed well above the roof line so that it does not get buried by snow accumulation.

• Currently, you must have one modem at the polling PC for each modem attached to a Gasboy system (except TopKAT Online). For example, if you have two Series 1000 systems that can be polled from the same PC, you will need two wireless modems at the polling PC and two antennas.

MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008 Page 13

Site Installation Review and Considerations

At the Gasboy System End

Note: The fueling position assembly must be mounted no lower than 18 inches above the

ground and no closer than 18 inches to any fuel dispenser.

Antenna Mast or Tower

• The height of the mast or tower will be determined by the line of sight requirement between this antenna and the PC wireless antenna.

• You are allowed to use a 10-foot mast, or a 10-foot tower and 10-foot mast (11 feet to 18 feet total height), or a 20-foot 1 or 2 section tower and 10-foot mast (21 feet to 28 feet total height) without the use of guy wires.

• If a tower base section is used, the manufacturers’ requirements for the installation of that tower must be followed for the height of the tower installed.

Note: A tower and mast section is preferred as it encloses the wireless modem insi de the

tower and protects it from being damaged.

and Radio Programmer icon.

Page 24 MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008

HyperTerminal Test

Testing the Gasboy System Remote Port

It is recommended that the Gasboy remote port be tested, if possible, with a laptop PC or terminal before connecting the wireless modem system. Use the same HyperTerminal setup as listed above. Ensure that the remote port baud rate is properly set up as per the appropriate Gasboy system Operator or Start up manual. Ensure that the Gasboy port is set up for RS-232 communication and NOT RS-485 communications. Refer to Appendix: Cable Information on page 51 for Laptop to Gasboy System RS-232 cables.

HyperTerminal Test

Connecting and Testing PC to Gasboy System Communications with the Wireless Modems Connected

At this point, you should have programmed the wireless modem and tested the Gasboy system remote port, if possible. CDR Tools should be loaded on both the PC end of the communications loop and a laptop PC. You should have HyperTerminal set up (with the proper configuration explained above) on both the PC and a laptop PC, if possible. These are necessary if problems arise during communication testing.

To test PC to Gasboy system communications with the wireless modems, proceed as follows:

1 Connect the wireless modems at both the PC and Gasboy system using the supplied cables.

Ensure the cable used to connect the PC to the wireless modem matches the cable listed in

Appendix: Cable Information on page 51. Ensure that the Gasboy system cabling matches the

system cabling as shown in Figure 8 on page 17, Figure 9 on page 18 , and Figure 11 on page

19.

2 Install and connect the power pack at the PC end, and connect the DC cable at the Gasboy

system end, if you have not done so already.

3 Connect the coaxial cable from the wireless modems to the antennas installed at either the

mast or tower. Check to ensure that the mast, towers, and modems are properly grounded.

4 Open up the previously set up HyperTerminal, and test the communication between the PC

and the Gasboy system. After confirming this communication link, close the HyperTerminal session. You are ready to test the Gasboy software package.

MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008 Page 25

HyperTerminal Test

Diagnosing Wireless Modem Installation and Setup Issues

If there is no communication with the Hyper Terminal or the Gasboy PC Package, proceed as follows:

1 Verify both modems have been properly configured and the proper cables are installed and the

connections are tested. Set the modems to the default parameters before programming.

2 Verify the coaxial connectors have been properly installed and do not short out the entire

cable.

3 For ALL STANDARD Gasboy Fuel Management systems (Standard TopKAT, 1000 series,

FleetKey and Islander II) the baud rate for all devices MUST BE 2400 BAUD. Verify the FMS system remote port is set for 2400 baud, both modems are set for 2400 baud and the Gasboy PC Software Package is set for 2400 baud.

Note: For the Gasboy PC TopKAT On Line softwar e ONL Y verify the TopKAT communication

port is set for 9600 baud, both modems are set for 9600 baud and the PC To pKAT On Line software is set for 9600 baud (the TopKAT system will also have special software for use with this software package).

4 Verify the wireless modem settings for the system and software on the site are as per the charts

provided in this manual (refer to

5 If the wireless communications is intermittent, for example, if you receive a few characters or

Programming the Wireless Modems on page 22).

one or 2 lines, once again check the modem programming. Ensure that other than the source and destination address the setup is identical. Ensure that “No Ack Back” is selected and “Preamble Bytes” is set to 266.

6 “In Manager Mode” may appear on the Gasboy PC Software package screen when subsequent

attempts to “Contact the Site” or “Polling Session” are initiated. The time period this can occur in is approximately 5 minutes. This has been so far only noted with the standard Gasboy PC T o pKAT software. It is caused by the way the wireless modems ends the “Contact the Site” or a “Polling Session”. To avoid this, ensure that the auto poll interval is set to 10 minutes. To clear this state, contact the site with Hyper Terminal and then end the session with the “EX” command.

7 If the wireless modems work properly with Hyper Terminal but report an error with the

Gasboy Software package, for example, a “No DCD signal” use the signal tests below.

Page 26 MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008

Coyote Modem and Communication Port Signal Testing

Note: The CDR 915 is compatible with the CDR 9150 modem. With the differences noted

below.

• When the modem is plugged into power, it should show a YELLOW light on the front near the connector. It should also flash the GREEN light approximately once per second even if no second modem is in the area.

• If the green transmit light is not flashing, plug and unplug the power connector to the modem. This can happen if the communication cable is inadvertently disconnected and reconnected. If this continually happens, use an ohm meter to verify point-to-point connection, if necessary.

• The pin outs are referenced to a 9 pin connector for voltage measurements. Refer to the

Figure 14 on page 28 if conversion to 25 pin outs need to be made.

• The CDR 9150 does not provide Pin 1 DCD. It provides the Pin 6 (DSR) and Pin 8 (CTS) signals. Sites that are replacing a CDR 915 with a CDR 9150 must ensure they order the new cable listed in Appendix A,

Q13180-20B and Q13180-61) on page 51or modify the existing cable to provide the Pin 1

to Pin 6 jumper as shown in the table on page 51.

• The signals between Gasboy system and modem or between PC and modem may be verified by the use of an RS-232 Breakout box. An LED will verify the presence of the individual signals. They may also be measured using a Digital Volt/Ohm Meter. Ensure that you do not short the pins. Those voltages are provided below. The wireless modem need not be connected to a PC or Fleet system for the tests below. If the wireless modem does not provide the proper communications signals, it indicates a bad modem and a new one should be ordered.

• Use Pin 5 for signal ground.

• If measured at the modem (no cable attached):

- Pin 1 (DCD) is measured to be 6.8 VDC nominal (CDR 915 ONLY).

- Pin 6 (DSR) is measured to be 6.8 VDC nominal.

- Pin 8 (CTS) is measured to be 6.35 VDC nominal dropping to below 6 VDC when the

GREEN transmit light flashes on the CDR 915.

• When you are using the cable mentioned in Appendix: Cable Information on page 51 with Pins 1 and 6 jumpered internally, the voltage will be 6.35 VDC nominal if measured at the 9 pin connector that will plug into the PC.

• These voltages may vary slightly due to the meter used.

• The PC needs to provide two communication signals. To test these signals a communications program such as Hyper Terminal must access the communication port to be tested.

Note: The Coyote Radio Programmer software only provides the DTR signal.

• Pin 4 (DTR) Hyper Terminal and Coyote Radio Programmer software .

• Pin 7 (RTS) Hyper Terminal software only.

• Both of these signal should measure 5.5 VDC nominal.

• If these two signals are not properly provided by the PC's communication port, a problem with the PC communications port is indicated. Use a second port on the PC if available. Have the PC repaired as necessary.

• With the Wireless modem connected to the PC, all five signals (DCD, DSR, CTS, DTR and RTS) must be present for the Gasboy software to properly work with the wireless modem. All five signals are not easily verified with the cables connected without the use of a RS-232 breakout box.

Serial-to-LAN Connection Installation

Serial-to-LAN Configuration Options

There are two options when connecting Gasboy systems to the Serial-to-LAN adapter.

Note: In most cases, a C04532 cable (included with the kit) will be needed to connect the

Serial-to-LAN adapter to the Gasboy Sho rt Haul Modem (C05618) or Gasboy Termination Box (C05769).

TCP/IP Configuration (use M06643K001)

The first option is to use only one adapter in a Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration ( one of the Gasboy system’s ser ial ports. The user then uses a PC utility such as Telnet to open a TCP/IP communication session to the Gasboy system. In this configuration, no serial port is needed at the PC. With each adapter assigned its own IP address, one PC can be used to communicate to multiple Gasboy systems (one at a time).

Note: This configuration does not work with the Gasboy PC packages.

Figure 15 on page 29). With this option, the adapter is connected to

Page 28 MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008

Serial-to-LAN Connection Installation

Figure 15: TCP/IP Configuration

Serial Tunneling Configuration (use M06643K002)

The second option is known as the Serial Tunneling configuration (Figure 16). In this configuration, one adapter is connected to one of the Gasboy system’s serial ports and a second adapter is connected to a serial port on the PC.

Note: This configuration works with Gasboy PC packages (such as PC/TopKAT, PC/1000,

PC/CFN).

Figure 16: Serial Tunneling Configuration

The Serial Tunneling configuration has two modes: Direct Connect and Modem Emulation.

• When using the Direct Connect mode, the adapters create a direct connection between the PC and the Gasboy system that works as if the two (PC and system) had been hard-wired together. When the adapters are powered up, they establish a TCP/IP link between them. From that point on, anything transmitted from the PC serial port is sent directly to the Gasboy system serial port and vice versa. Using this mode, communication can only be established with one Gasboy system.

MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008 Page 29

Serial-to-LAN Connection Installation

• When using the Modem Emulation mode, the adapter connected to the PC emulates a modem. The PC sends AT commands and the adapter responds as if it were a modem. However, instead of a phone number, the user must use the Gasboy system adapter IP address and port number (refer to number to dial. When the IP address and port number are dialed, the adapters establish a TCP/IP link between them. At this point, they work the same as in Direct Connect mode, sending and receiving data to and from the serial ports. When the “call” is over, the adapters drop the TCP/IP connection. Using this mode allows one PC to communicate to multiple Gasboy systems (one at a time).

Adapter Connections

The Serial-to-LAN adapter (Figure 17) has a standard RJ45 Ethernet port (10Base-T), and serial port and power connection. The Ethernet port is connected to a standard Ethernet hub or LAN distribution point, usually with a CAT-5 cable.

For power, connect the AC power supply to the power plug and plug in the AC supply into an outlet.

Accessing Adapter Parameters on page 32) as the

Figure 17: Serial-to-LAN Adapter

Note: The Reset Switch does not exist on newer black adapter boxes.

Figure 18 on page 31, Figure 19 on page 31 and Figure 20 on page 31.

Note: The terminal blocks on different Gasboy systems may appear different from the ones

shown here, but the point-to-point connections and cables are the same. All requir ements for RS-232 and RS-422 defined in the Gasboy system installation manuals apply to the wiring between the system and Serial-to-LAN adapter as well.

Accessing Adapter Parameters

The IP Address

Certain parameters must be configured before the adapter can function. The first parameter that must be defined is the Internet Protocol (IP) address. Every device connected to a TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. The IP address must be configured before a network connection is available.

• If your network is not and will not be connected to the Internet, you may use any IP address.

• If your network is connected or will be connected to the Internet, or if you intend to operate the Serial-to-LAN adapter on an intranet, you should consult your Network Administrator with questions about IP address assignments. The adapter ships with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

- If your network has a DHCP server, it will supply the adapter with an IP address,

gateway address, and subnet mask when the adapter powers up

· For Model UDS10, refer to Configuring the Adapter from the Web Browser Login –

Model UDS10 on page 32.

· For Model UDS1100, refer to Confi guring the Adapt er from the Web Browser Login

– Model UDS1100 on page 33.

- If the IP address is not set automatically via DHCP, it can be set using a serial port login and setup menu (refer to

UDS1100 on page 35).

Verifying the Connectivity to the Serial-to-LAN Adapter

Verifying the Connectivity from the Telnet Program

Connectivity can be verified using a program such as Telnet (Figure 28). When starting the session, the program being used usually requires the IP address and port number. Enter the IP address and port number set in the adapter connected to the Gasboy system.

If you are using Serial Tunneling in a Direct Connect mode, the adapter connected to the serial port of the PC must be turned off before you can verify connectivity to the Gasboy system adapter using this method.

Figure 28: Telnet Screen

Verifying the Connectivity from Terminal Emulation Program

If you are using Serial Tunneling option, you can verify connectivity between the Gasboy system and PC adapters using a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal.

When you use a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal (adapter in Direct Connect or Modem mode), you will need to open the COM port that the adapter is connected to on the PC. You will also need to match the communication parameters set on the adapter (baud rate, number of bits, parity, stop bits). All Gasboy systems use the same communication parameters: 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The baud rate should be set to match the port on the Gasboy system.

If you are using the Direct Connect mode, start the terminal emulation session and you should be able to communicate to the Gasboy system just as if it were directly connected to the COM port.

Page 42 MDE-4520C Enhanced Communications Installation Manual · February 2008

Serial-to-LAN Connection Installation

When you use modem emulation, use the IP address and port number of the Gasboy system adapter as the number to dial. A comma or a back-slash must separate the IP address and port number. For example, to connect to a Gasboy system with an IP address 10.28. 46.51 and port number of 1001, enter the number to dial as 10.28.46.51,1001 or 10.28.46.51/1001.

Using the example and connecting via a program such as Hyper Terminal, a command ATDT10.28.46.51,1001 is issued to contact the Gasboy system.

When you use a Gasboy PC package (such as PC/TopKAT, PC/1000, PC/CFN) with modem emulation, use IP address and port number for the “Phone Number” to dial. In the package setup, select the Gasboy Default Modem. For the site phone number, enter the IP address and port number as shown in

Figure 29: Gasboy PC Package Screen

Figure 29.

Sample “Phone Number” (IP address and port number)

Serial-to-LAN Connection Installation

Diagnosing Gasboy System Serial to LAN Connections

In order to diagnose some of the serial to LAN issues, the following items are needed:

1 Laptop or test PC with an Ethernet and serial COM port that can run HyperTerminal and/or Telnet (or

something similar). Telnet is included with most Windows operating systems. 1 9 to 25 modem cable (Q13240-09 or equivalent) 1 CAT-5 crossover cable (Q13850-C06 or equivalent) 1 C04532 RS-232 modem cable 1 AC terminal strip

It may also be necessary to have two more Serial to LAN adapters, a Gasboy Short Haul Modem, a null modem adapter, and 25-pin D-type gender adapters.

If you have the IP and port address from the Network Administrator (or other IT personnel), use those values for testing any issues.

1 To verify the communication to Gasboy system (for example, Gasboy Short Haul Modem or

Direct Connect), set up a HyperTerminal session (or other terminal emulation software session) with the following parameters:

Baud Set to match the Gasboy system port being used (normally 9600

baud). Data bits 8 Parity None Stop Bits 1 Flow Control None or Xon/Xoff Emulation auto Connect using COM port on PC

2 Use the 9 to 25-pin modem cable (Q13240 09 that was supplied with the kit), connect test PC

COM Port to SHM or termination box or D-type connector (you will need a null modem adapter and possibly a gender adapter to connect to the D-type connector, see

Figure 18 on page 31) and verify you can sign on and run system commands. You must be able to

communicate with the system at this level before going forward.

and connect it to one of the serial to LAN adapters.

4 Using a terminal session (for example, HyperTerminal) with settings 9600, 8, N, 1, verify the

adapter is set up as described in

Settings for the Adapter Connected to the Gasboy System on page 39. Verify the IP address and port number are set to the values supplied by the Network

Administrator (or other IT personnel). If they are not supplied, use a temporary value of IP address 192.168.1.101 and port 1001. Also, verify the baud rate matches the Gasboy system. Close the terminal session. Mark this adapter Gasboy FMS.

5 Disconnect the modem cable from the ad apter. Connect the adapter to a C04532 (use the cable

supplied with the kit, if possible). Connect the other end of the C04532 to the SHM or termination box that was tested in step

2 above. If you are using a D-type connector (see

Figure 18 on page 31), connect it to the serial to LAN adapter.

6 Using the CAT-5 cross cable, connect to the RJ45 jack on the adapter. Connect the other end to

the Ethernet port on the test PC. Ensure that the test PC IP address is not the same the address configured in the adapter.

7 At the Test PC, open a command prompt session. At the command prompt, type the command

ping followed by the IP address for the Gasboy system adapter (for example, ping

192.168.1.101) and then press ENTER. Verify there are a series of Reply from messages and no errors. If errors are returned, ensure the adapter is powered and check the cross cable connection. It may be necessary to change the Test PC IP address so that the first three sets of numbers are the same as the adapter IP address (for example, 192.168.1). If errors are still being returned, try another adapter.

8 Start a HyperTerminal or T elnet session (or other software session similar to HyperT erminal or

T elnet). For HyperT erminal, connect using TCP/IP (W insock). If this selection is not available, HyperTerminal will not work for this test. You will have to use Telnet or something similar. When prompted for host address and port number, use the Gasboy system adapter IP address and port number (for example, telnet 192.168.1.101 1001 at the co mmand prompt would connect to an adapter with IP address 192.168.1.101 and port number 1001). Verify you can sign on to the Gasboy system and run system commands. If unable to connect, ensure the adapter and Gasboy system are powered. Check cable connection from the Gasboy system to the adapter and the adapter to PC. Check the system baud rate is set correctly for the port being used. It may be necessary to default all the adapter settings and re-load them (refer to

Accessing Adapter Parameters on page 32). If still unable to connect, try replacing the adapter.

You must be able to communicate with the Gasboy system at this level before going forward.
