Introduction
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The main aim of TankMaster.net is to make data of the tanks and
products available to users all over the world from offices, residences or
WAP phones. This data is available to users who are assigned a
Username and Password by the administrator. Users can only read the
data available on the website and view/download data in the form of
Excel spreadsheets for editing. The configuration of TankMaster.net is
achieved with the help of the TankMaster.net Configuration and
TankMaster.net DataCollector applications.
TankMaster.net Configuration
The TMn2Config application is used to create users, groups and set up
a connection between machines on which the TankMaster Server and the
TankMaster.net Server have been installed. The topics mentioned below,
help the administrator to configure the TankMaster.net website. The
administrator has to setup the following options in the TankMaster.net
Configuration. Only the administrator can login to this configuration. The
default username and password are admin. It is recommended that the
password be changed at the earliest.
Illegal Characters
Certain characters cannot be used for Excel Sheet names (in TMn, the
Product names are used as Sheet names). No product can have any of
the following characters: \, /, ?, *, [, ]. The product name should not
exceed 31 characters.
Prohibited characters for all of TMn are: |, *, %, <, >, {,},’ (single quote), “
(double quote). None of the User names, Group names, Server Names,
Server Aliases, Tank Names, Tank Aliases, Titles or Descriptions can use
any of the above characters.
A few ANSII characters are invalid in UTF-8 and UTF-16 (for example,
ASCII 160). These will give trouble in Web/Wap pages.
1.1.1 Map Servers and Tanks
The Map Servers & Tanks tab allows the administrator to map
Servers to the client machine. The Mapping of Servers on the client
machine allows the administrator to connect to the TankMaster
Server. This can be installed on various client machines that are
connected on the Local Area Network (LAN). You can access the
tanks available in the TankMaster Server only if the TankMaster
Server is mapped to your local machine. To view the data of the
tanks on the web site you have to map at least one Server on the
client machine. The administrator can also control the Properties

A user can be assigned to more than one group. When
TankMaster.net is installed, two default users are created namely,
Admin and DEMO. To create groups the administrator will have to

groups are created in the
DEMO GROUP. The users and tanks in these groups can be added
and removed. The Administrators group cannot be deleted. A group
name cannot be duplicated and must be unique.
Refer to Section 4.3 for details on Setting up Groups.
1.1.4 Setup HTML Info
The Setup HTML Info tab of the TankMaster.net Configuration

corner. This Company name and location of the site will be the one
