Introduction
This manual contains instructions for using the Workflow Wizard Setup Application in the TLS450PLUS and TLS4/8601
Series consoles. Workflow Wizard guides the user through the Veeder-Root recommended setup screens during the
console’s initial commissioning.
This manual assumes all devices are connected the console and that a site diagram of all probes, sensors and tanks is at
hand to assist in determining the correct console addresses for these devices. The procedures herein are intended to be
followed using the console’s touch screen. Other setup interface methods vary in feature and accessibility options.
Some of the screens are only visible if the applicable features/devices are installed in your console. Skip over programming
instructions for any features/devices that are not installed in your console.

Setup>System>Alarm Filtering
This screen lets you enable/disable Alarm Filtering. Alarm Filtering reduces the total num-
ber of alarms without compromising the reporting of critical alarms.
Alarm Filtering
When this feature is enabled, the console manipulates a combination of the detection time
(the time before an alarm sounds) and the clear time (the time before an alarm is reset) for
certain alarms that often go in and out of an alarm state in a short period of time. In addition, some alarm reports during the clear time are consolidated, reducing their number
without eliminating the alarm reports.
Mag Sensors
The following Mag Sensor alarms will be filtered:
• Mag sensor fault, install and communication alarms - NOTE:
Mag Sensor alarms are reset if the Mag Sensor is replaced
or deconfigured and then reconfigured.
Analog Sensors
The following Liquid, Vapor, Groundwater, Type A (2-wire) and
Type B (3-wire) alarms will be filtered:
• Open, Short, Water, Water Out, Liquid Warning, Low Liquid,
High Liquid and Fuel - NOTE: Liquid Warning, High Liquid,
Low Liquid and Fuel alarms are posted immediately even
when filtered.
DIMs (Dispenser Interface Modules)
The following DIM alarm will be filtered:
•Communication Alarm - NOTE: If there is more than one DIM
card in the console, each card is filtered independently. DIM
alarm filtering takes into account the possibility of lost POS
sales data by monitoring dispensing during the clear time,
but the possibility exists that the filter may not identify all
cases when POS sales data may be lost. Unfiltered DIM
Communication Alarm reports are available by contacting
Veeder-Root Technical Support.
Probes
The following Probe alarm will be filtered:
•Probe Out

Initial Setup Of The Console Using Workflow Wizard Setup>Communication>System Hostname
Setup>Communication>System Hostname
This screen lets you specify and change the host name of this console (i.e., what the console
is called on the customer's network, such as "MyTLSConsole").
System Hostname
Touch to select the host name of the console as it appears on
the customer’s network, in this example TLS-450PLUS.The
default host name can be changed to accommodate the customer’s network needs.
A blank host name is not allowed. The host name may contain only ASCII letters ‘a’ through ‘z’ (case-insensitive), digits ‘0’ through ‘9’ and the hyphen ‘-’ with no spaces or other
characters allowed.
(Note: the console converts any uppercase letters in the host
name to lower case when they are saved.)

Initial Setup Of The Console Using Workflow Wizard Setup>Communication>Ethernet Port
Setup>Communication>Ethernet Port
MAC Address [Read-only field] Physical address of the Ether-
net board and is automatically updated by the system (for example,
01:23:45:67:89:ab).
Serial Command Port
Address of serial port used for communications in the console
(default port is 10001). If the customer is using port 10001 already
for another device, you can select another port.
NOTES:
• Do not use ports 20001, 22, 80, or 443. These are used for other
communication purposes within the console.
• If each Ethernet comm device on the console has a different IP
address they can be setup with the same serial command port. Otherwise, when setting up two or more Ethernet devices with the
same IP address on the same serial command serial port, communications may be compromised and no warning messages will be provided.
• When the serial command port is disabled on the “Setup>System>Security” screen, the Serial Command Port field on this
This screen lets you configure the ethernet port(s) on the console which is used for
remote connectivity to a POS, remote printer, etc.. NOTE: Changes made in this screen
may take 10 - 15 seconds before they take effect and then display on the screen. The
fastest way to see changes is to accept the changes, go to the Home screen, then back
to this screen.
The default port selection is Ethernet Port 1. If more than one Ethernet Port is installed
(as in the example above), complete all of the entries for port 1, then select the next
Ethernet port from the icon list on the bottom of the screen that you want to configure
and repeat the complete field entry process for port 2.
IP Address Type
Dynamic - An Ethernet comm device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. This address is usually administered by a network service such as
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Static [Default] - An Ethernet comm device will have a permanent IP address every
time it connects to the network. This is entered once on the console.
IP Address
[Field only available if IP Address Type is set to Static]
Enter an IP address that was assigned by the customer's IT department (the default
setting of 192.168.11.100 won't work).
IP Subnet Mask
[Field only available if IP Address Type is set to Static]
Default is 255.255.255.0 and is typical of console configurations. Do not change unless
assigned something different by the customer's IT department.
IP Gateway Address
[Field only available if IP Address Type is set to Static]
Enter a Gateway address that was assigned by the customer's IT department (the
default setting of 192.168.11.100 won't work).
IP Default Gateway
When set to Enabled, makes this Ethernet port the default pathway for outbound communications, such as email.
Primary DNS
[Field only available if ‘IP Address Type’ is set to Static]
