This manual describes the web-based application of the SiteOmat Fleet Head Office System
(hereafter referred to as the FHO) and the Fuel Management Software (FMS). The manual provides
instructions on how to use the various features offered in the FHO: such as real-time gas station
definition and management, data collection and distribution from/to all relevant stations, data
reporting, product management and pricing. And in the FMS: viewing the fuel level of gas
station/sites, monitoring fuel status alarms, making recommendations for fuel orders in stations with
low fuel levels and more.
This Installation and User's Manual functionally describes three major applicat ions:
1. Administrator Application
2. FHO Application
3. FMS Application
This manual is targeted toward any authorized user of the FHO (i.e. fleet managers, head office
managers or system administrators), FMS (i.e. station managers or fuel manager) and System
Administrators using the Administration Application.
FMS and FHO are Web based applications where any authorized user can access it via a browser
(Internet Explorer 7 and up). It uses a secured SSL connection (HTTPS).
1.2. FHO PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.2.1. General
The FHO System is a centralized fleet management and authorization server for all fleet-oriented
activity in a region.
The system uploads all fleet-oriented data from the stations and generates centralized reports per
fleet, including exception and efficiency performance. Graphical reports are available to the fleet
managers via web interface. Each fleet manager uses a secured link to log into the system to
manage his fleet.
1.2.2. Features
The main FHO system features are:
•Centralized reporting per fleet
FMS and FHO User’s Manual - MDE-4821 25
26
• Secure web in ter f ace for fl eet mana gers : each manager is able to manage his own fleet and
has no access to other fleets
• System administration enables control of the entire system, set up of accounts, new fleets
and vehicles
• Interface to a card/tag/VIU (Vehicle Identification Unit) fleet payment and authorization of
device issuing system, according to fleet account and debit procedure settlings defined for
each card/vehicle to be included in the system
• Advanced authorization method, available for the fleet manager via the web, including
several rules and restrictions to be applied to each fueling authorization unit
• The system works in both on-line and off-line modes, with all the authorization parameters
mentioned above. A grace period can be defined to limit the time a station can continue
authorizing vehicles in off-line mode
• The FHO includes a fleet credit/debit account (OBLIGO). Minimum credit must be
maintained for each fleet in order to enable refueling
• Backup database – Either by system's backup mechanism or according to company's policy
• Export of data to other third-party systems
1.2.3. Fleet Management
FHO is responsible for collecting and distributing information regarding the fleets from and to all
relevant SiteOmat stations. The process complies with the following criteria:
• Each station is connected to the FHO directly
• Data is collected at pre defined time intervals
• Only the changed data (delta) from last collection is captured, which reduces
communication overhead. Data collection is done at predefined time intervals. The update
interval can be set for each station
• Access to data is protected by username and password. The user must be defined in the
Station Controller that is connected to the FHO
• All authorizations are done locally – the stations are on-line since the authorization data is
continuously updated by the FHO
• A station may continue working off-line, under the constraints imposed by configuration
• The FHO can only retrieve the data relevant to its fleets

1.3. FMS PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.3.1. General
The FMS enables the user to see a complete overview of the fuel status and levels at the entire chain
of stations and at each tank separately.
The user is able to view the entire picture of all stations in a table form (grid). The status of stations
is presented in different colors. The user utilizes a friendly GUI (Graphic User Interface) to change
the sorting filter and view all stations, only stations with alarms, stations belonging to a specific
group and more.
Selection of a single station displays on-line alarms and station status screen. In this screen the user
is able to see additional details related to the tanks (e.g. temperature, water level, density and more).
The FMS mechanism is based on data collection from several sources:
• Fuel alarms from TLG (Tank Level Gauging) or SiteOmat forecourt controller
• Fuel transactions from SiteOmat
• Fuel deliveries from TLG or SiteOmat or FMS (manual entry)
• Periodic fuel readings from pumps and tanks. Readings can be made every several
minutes/hours
• SiteOmat End of shift data (mandatory for some of the reconciliation reports)
data via web services according to SiteOmat setup in each station. There is no need to
configure the system twice. The FMS regularly obtains updates from a station (e.g. new
tanks, tanks with different fuel type), displays fuel level, water level, temperature and
tank density per each individual tank. The software stores each tank's history and
provides forecast for future deliveries
• Orders and Deliveries: FMS connects orders to fuel deliveries and reconciles the
relevant amounts (order vs. TLG vs. Bill of Loading Vs. deep stick readings), enables
tight data tracking designed to minimize loses and maximize the service stations
efficiency
• Online Fuel Alarms: FMS manages alerts for stations with critical fuel levels, leaks,
overfills and other events. All alerts can be sent to a single user group/s via email or
SMS. Fuel order forms can be produced directly via the alarm screen, in cases where
low fuel level alarms were activated
• Reporting and Management: FMS enables the user to generate several sales, stock and
reconciliation reports at company level (i.e. amount of fuel in all stations, alarms for all
stations) and at station level
The interaction between the various components of the fleet management is shown in Figure 1-1.

1.3.4. Authentication
FHO and FMS are designed to provide access to content in accordance with the user’s access level.
Upon login request into the FHO/FMS web-based application, the system checks whether the user
with these login credentials (username and password) exists. If the login credentials are not found
in the user list, access to the application is denied. If these login credentials are validated, the
application opens, with content suitable to the user’s access level.
1.3.5. Protection
The FHO and FMS Systems are protected by a special program plug (HASP), to be attached to the
Head Office server.
FHO and FMS are non operational if this plug is not attached to the server.

NOTE
It is highly recommended to use a dedicated server
for the FHO/FMS applications. If customers choose
to run the application on a non-dedicated server,
they assume the responsibility to verify that the
server is properly resourced and networked to
facilitate its applications.
2.4. HASP KEY
Either in Server or PC configuration, the hardware equipment must include a HASP (Hardware
Against Software Piracy, also known as a dongle) provided for proper operation. A dongle or
security device is a small piece of hardware that connects to a computer via the USB connection.
NOTES
In cases where the application is installed on a
server/virtual machine that has another HASP
connected to it, IT managers should verify that HO's
HASP is properly redirected to the application, by
mapping the USB port to the application.
If the HASP is replaced (i.e. when upgrading the
software in an existing computer to a higher level of
license) restart the FHO services. The upgrade does
not affect the already existing database.
The HASP serves our application in several ways:
• Authenticates the FHO and FMS systems
• Authenticates number of stations
There are multiple levels of FHO licenses that are controlled by the HASP:
• 1 station
• Up to 5 stations
• Up to 10 stations
• Up to 20 stations
• Up to 50 stations
• Up to 100 stations
• Up to 150 stations
Without the HASP, the software runs only in a restricted mode, or not at all. The HASP driver
supports the following Operating Systems:
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows 7
FMS and FHO User’s Manual - MDE-4821
36
• Windows Vista
• Windows Server 2003 R2
• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows 98SE and Windows ME (for backward compatibility only)
The device is produced by Aladdin Knowledge Systems, a solutions provider for software digital
rights management and Internet security since 1985.
2.5. INTERNET
The applications require a high-speed Ethernet interface card in order to enable connection to the
Internet via a broadband download/upload link. The internet is needed for remote support and
remote sites. However, the system may run on a self-contained LAN if neither of these options is
necessary. A dialup option is available for sites that must use it, but offers users only limited use of
the system. Dialup cannot be used with sites using Fuel Point PLUS.
2.6. DATABASE
The FHO and FMS are based on an MS-SQL database. Large companies (more than 5 stations) are
required to install the MS SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition prior to the FHO and FMS
installation. For small companies there is a database solution (MS-SQL express edition), which is
provided with the installation pack.
The Head Office uses ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connection to MSSQL Database,
ODBC is included in MS Windows OS.
Database backup is done either by MS-SQL backup mechanism or according to the company's
policy.
2.7. MS WINDOWS SERVICES
The FHO server runs as a Windows service on the OS. The installation program installs four
windows services configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Services' names begin
with the word "ORPAK."
2.8. ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
To access the FHO server from users’ PCs, verify that port 443 (HTTPS) is open on the server and
through any firewall and routers on the network. For any server configuration questions, please
contact your IT Manager.
2.9. SERVER SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS
The customer should purchase and install the required hardware as specified above, refer to the
recommendations below when installing the server.

4.3. COMMON ACTIONS IN GRID
4.3.1. General
The user-interface of the applications is intuitive and requires little experience for using it. The
operative actions are common and generic across the various windows.
The Grids are displayed on most screens. All grids have paging options, enabling the user to go
forward and backward through the lists pages. A page contains up to 50 lines.
The common actions in a grid are as follows:
a. Navigating a grid
b. Selecting a row in a grid
c. Marking row(s) in a grid
d. Sorting a grid
4.3.2. Navigating a Grid
To navigate between pages in a grid, use the navigation bar at the left-hand side of the grid
(Figure 4-1). The user can move one page forward or backward, or go to first and last page (buttons
not applicable are grayed). The number in brackets displays current lines shown, out of total lines.
Figure 4-1. Grid Pages Selection Buttons
When in a page with a grid, you can perform the following:
• Click a grid column header to sort this page by this column
• Hold and drag the line separator between columns to change columns width
• Use the scroll bar to scroll lines and horizontal scroll bar to show more columns
Many buttons require selection of a grid row for operation. If not selected, an error message is
displayed (such as in the fleet grid), see Figure 4-2 below.
FMS and FHO User’s Manual - MDE-4821
71
Figure 4-2. Grid Row Selection Message
4.3.3. Selecting a Row in a Grid
Selection of a row in a grid serves several purposes, such as for displaying the data associated with
grid. To select a row, click on the applicable row. Consequently, the row is highlighted in a blue
color (as seen in Figure 4-3), indicating that the row is currently selected.
Figure 4-3. Selecting a Row in a Grid
4.3.4. Marking Row(s) in a Grid
Marking a row, or multiple rows, in a grid is done prior to performing an action (e.g.: selecting
stations to a cluster), which affects the marked row(s). To mark a row, check the checkbox in the
left-hand side of the relevant row (see Figure 4-4).
Figure 4-4. Marking Grid Row(s)
4.3.5. Sorting a Grid
Sorting a grid is done simply by clicking on a column header (see Figure 4-5). The records are
consequently sorted by the selected column in an ascending order. Second click arranges the
records by descending order. The small triangle in the right-side of the selected header indicates the
current sorting order.
FMS and FHO User’s Manual - MDE-4821
72
Figure 4-5. Sorting Grid Rows
NOTE
Sorting a grid unmarks all rows in grid.
4.3.6. Filtering a Grid
Many windows containing data grids provide an option to filter the grid according to search criteria,
thus showing only the entries that comply with the specified criteria. This option is especially
useful in cases where there are a large number of records.
There are two filtering options throughout the application:
1. Click on the Find/Filter button. The Stations Find/Filter window appears. Enter the search
criteria in the applicable text boxes (see Figure 4-6)

GETTING STARTED
5.1. GENERAL
This section provides initial instructions needed for the user to start using the FMS and FHO
Applications, namely launching the applications, login and familiarizing with the general
orientation of the application. This section provides references to the subsequent sections, which
discusses the different operative parts of the System.
NOTE
The FHO and FMS applications have been designed
and tested to run properly on Microsoft Internet
Explorer 7 and up. On any other browser (or
version), the application may not function properly.
5.2. FHO/FMS APPLICATION STARTUP
FHO and FMS Applications can be logged into using a standard browser from any PC. The
application is launched from the FHO computer and may be accessed from any networked
computer (directly connected to the FHO/FMS via the LAN) or from a remote computer with an
Internet browser over the Internet.
NOTE
In cases where the FHO server was upgraded and
after the procedure is completed, it may be necessary
to delete the cookies from each client IE, in order for
the browser to reflect the changes.
To access the application, launch the Internet browser and enter the address (IP address or domain
name) as follows:
https://192.168.1.104
(Each customer’s IP address may differ based on their network.)

6.4.7. Price Lists
6.4.7.1. General
Fleets, departments and devices can be associated to a particular price list. Price lists are derived
from the base price defined for each product.
While refueling and after identification, the driver sees the specific price linked to the device on the
dispenser (on dispensers supporting price display). The price changes back to base price right after
the transaction is completed and the nozzle is placed back on the dispenser.
NOTE
Price lists can only be associated to hand held
vehicle devices.
If a driver lifts the nozzle first and then presents the
card/tag/key, he's notified and the process is stopped.
The transaction is not authorized in the following cases:
a. A device linked to a price list is recognized, but the pump price update has failed
b. A driver using a device linked to a price doesn't return the nozzle back to dispenser,
and consequently the system doesn't update the pump back to the base price
6.4.7.2. Setup
Departments and devices automatically inherit the fleet's price list; the association may still be
overridden by assigning departments or devices different price lists or none.
To define special discount lists, click on the Price Lists button. The Wet Price Lists dialog box
appears (see Figure 6-12)

2. Select the Send price to pump checkbox in cases where the special price is sent to
the pump. Otherwise, the base price remains in the transaction, and the controller
calculates the price after discount
3. Click on the New button. The new list appears in the Price lists grid
4. Select the desired product in the products grid by clicking on its row
5. Select the Discount type to be applied, utilizing the drop-down list:
