Important Safety Information

2 – Important Safety Information

This section introduces the hazards and safety precautions associated with installing, inspecting, maintaining or servicing this product. Before performing any task on this product, read this safety information and the applicable sections in this manual, where additional hazards and safety precautions for your task will be found. Fire, explosion, electrical shock or pressure release could occur and cause death or serious injury, if these safe service procedures are not followed.

Read the Manual

Read, understand and follow this manual and any other labels or related materials supplied with this equipment. If you do not understand a procedure, call a Gasboy Authorized

Service Contractor or call the Gasboy Service Center at

1-800-444-5529. It is imperative to your safety and the safety of others to understand the procedures before beginning work.

Preliminary Precautions

You are working in a potentially dangerous environment of flammable fuels, vapors, and high voltage or pressures. Only trained or authorized individuals knowledgeable in the related procedures must install, inspect, maintain or service this equipment.

Emergency Total Electrical Shut-Off

The first and most important information you must know is how to stop all fuel flow to the pump/dispenser and island.

Locate the switch or circuit breakers that shut off all power to all fueling equipment, dispensing devices, and Submerged

Turbine Pumps (STPs).

!

!

WARNING

The EMERGENCY STOP, ALL STOP, and

PUMP STOP buttons at the cashier’s station

WILL NOT shut off electrical power to the pump/dispenser. This means that even if you activate these stops, fuel may continue to flow uncontrolled.

Follow the Regulations

Applicable information is available in National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA) 30A; Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing

Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 70; National Electrical

Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and Hazard Association

(OSHA) regulations and federal, state, and local codes. All these regulations must be followed. Failure to install, inspect, maintain or service this equipment in accordance with these codes, regulations and standards may lead to legal citations with penalties or affect the safe use and operation of the equipment.

Replacement Parts

Use only genuine Gasboy replacement parts and retrofit kits on your pump/dispenser. Using parts other than genuine

Gasboy replacement parts could create a safety hazard and violate local regulations.

Safety Symbols and Warning Words

This section provides important information about warning symbols and boxes.

Alert Symbol

You must use the TOTAL ELECTRICAL

SHUT-OFF in the case of an emergency and not the console’s ALL STOP and PUMP STOP or similar keys.

Total Electrical Shut-Off Before Access

Any procedure that requires access to electrical components or the electronics of the dispenser requires total electrical shut off of that unit. Understand the function and location of this switch or circuit breaker before inspecting, installing, maintaining, or servicing Gasboy equipment.

Evacuating, Barricading and Shutting Off

Any procedure that requires access to the pump/dispenser or

STPs requires the following actions:

This safety alert symbol is used in this manual and on warning labels to alert you to a precaution which must be followed to prevent potential personal safety hazards. Obey safety directives that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

Signal Words

These signal words used in this manual and on warning labels tell you the seriousness of particular safety hazards.

The precautions below must be followed to prevent death, injury or damage to the equipment:

DANGER: Alerts you to a hazard or unsafe practice

!

which will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Alerts you to a hazard or unsafe practice

!

that could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION with Alert symbol: Designates a hazard or

!

unsafe practice which may result in minor injury.

CAUTION without Alert symbol: Designates a hazard or unsafe practice which may result in property or equipment damage

• An evacuation of all unauthorized persons and vehicles from the work area

• Use of safety tape, cones or barricades at the affected unit(s)

• A total electrical shut-off of the affected unit(s)

Working With Fuels and Electrical Energy

Prevent Explosions and Fires

Fuels and their vapors will explode or burn, if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels cause vapors. Even filling customer tanks will cause potentially dangerous vapors in the vicinity of the dispenser or island.



No Open Fire

Open flames from matches, lighters, welding torches or other sources can ignite fuels and their vapors.

No Sparks - No Smoking

Sparks from starting vehicles, starting or using power tools, burning cigarettes, cigars or pipes can also ignite fuels and their vapors. Static electricity, including an electrostatic charge on your body, can cause a spark sufficient to ignite fuel vapors. Every time you get out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your vehicle, to discharge any electrostatic charge before you approach the dispenser island.

Working Alone

It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of rendering first aid be present during servicing. Familiarize yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, if you work with or around high voltages. This information is available from the American Red Cross. Always advise the station personnel about where you will be working, and caution them not to activate power while you are working on the equipment. Use the OSHA Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you are not familiar with this requirement, refer to this information in the service manual and OSHA documentation.

Working With Electricity Safely

Ensure that you use safe and established practices in working with electrical devices. Poorly wired devices may cause a fire, explosion or electrical shock. Ensure that grounding connections are properly made. Take care that sealing devices and compounds are in place. Ensure that you do not pinch wires when replacing covers. Follow OSHA

Lockout/Tagout requirements. Station employees and service contractors need to understand and comply with this program completely to ensure safety while the equipment is down.

Hazardous Materials

Some materials present inside electronic enclosures may present a health hazard if not handled correctly. Ensure that you clean hands after handling equipment. Do not place any equipment in the mouth.

!

WARNING

The pump/dispenser contains a chemical known to the

State of California to cause cancer.

!

WARNING

The pump/dispenser contains a chemical known to the

State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

In an Emergency

• Location of accident (for example, address, front/back of building, and so on)

• Nature of accident (for example, possible heart attack, run over by car, burns, and so on)

• Age of victim (for example, baby, teenager, middle-age, elderly)

• Whether or not victim has received first aid (for example, stopped bleeding by pressure, and so on)

• Whether or not a victim has vomited (for example, if swallowed or inhaled something, and so on)

!

WARNING

Gasoline ingested may cause unconsciousness and burns to internal organs.

Do not induce vomiting.

Keep airway open.

Oxygen may be needed at scene.

Seek medical advice immediately.

!

!

WARNING

Gasoline inhaled may cause unconsciousness and burns to lips, mouth and lungs.

Keep airway open.


!

Preparing for Configuration

3 – Preparing for Configuration

The information provided in this section is intended for:

• New sites

• GL3 sites upgrading from an earlier version of the software

• Sites converting from other bank host systems

Before configuring the GL3 system, obtain the following information from an assigned NBS representative:

• The Terminal ID number

• Modem phone numbers (primary and secondary). Even if VSAT is used, a primary and secondary number must be used for emergencies when VSAT is not available.

• Modem communications baud rate

• If VSAT equipment is used, it must be reprogrammed by Hughes

®

to accept the Gasboy communications format.

A modem or VSAT system is required to communicate with the NBS host system. VISA I protocol is the NBS supported protocol for VSAT communications. When adding or upgrading the GL3 system for VSAT communications, contact and inform an assigned NBS representative that VSAT will be used at the merchant location. The Hughes Personal Earth

Station (PES) must be programmed with the CTNGLBLAN Hughes template. Refer to

“Editing Network Parameters (-E)” on page 15

and “Edit Modem Parameters (-M)”

on

page 22 , when setting up VSAT or modem communications.

Determine the Site Controller port to be assigned to connect to the NBS host, and connect that port to a Gasboy qualified modem or VSAT system.

The NBS GL3 software meets the compliance of Visa PED and PCI when used with approved

PIN pad devices. All default PIN pad prompts will work with VeriFone

®

and Ingenico

®

Visa

PED-certified PIN pads. Refer to MDE-4872 CFN III Configuration Manual for Windows XP

Version 3.6 to modify the default Island Card Reader (ICR) prompts. Meeting Visa PED or

PCI requirements restricts the prompts allowed.

Prompts are designed to meet current Visa PED and PCI standards. Current VeriFone and

Ingenico PIN Pads will not allow a non-compliant prompt to be displayed. Therefore, when setting up the prompts for local cards, it would be a good practice to set up the prompts in a manner that meets the Visa PED and PCI standards. Refer to

“Special System Setup”

on

page 32 for Reader and Console parameters for best practice prompt message options.

Before loading a new version of NBS GL3 software, ensure that all previous transactions have been completed and a settlement with the host has taken place as well as a purge site command. Ensure that a proper backup has been taken to avoid data loss. Changing parameters in the TABLES program will cause the table files to be reconstructed and any previous information in the reconstructed tables will be destroyed.

If the system is to be moved from another host network to NBS GL3, all reports must be completed before the switch. The system transaction file is to be reset using “fix tran;i” command. Transaction data from another network will not be compatible, and if restored to NBS GL3 will result in revenue loss.

If a new version of NBS is being installed, the routback parameters cannot be restored. Print a hard-copy of the network parameters before loading in a new NBS router version.

Always initialize the NBS GL3 system after installing new software.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Fuel limits and pump cutoff must be set to dollars ($), not gallons. Site problems will occur when fuel limits and cutoff are set to gallons. When running LOAD LIMITS, remember to use a dollar symbol ($) when entering the limit amount. Else, the limit will be loaded in gallons or liters.

• If a Gift Card/Prepaid Card is used at the POS terminal and the card is rejected for

Non Sufficient Funds (NSF), the remaining balance on the card will be displayed on the POS terminal. Refer to

“Gift Card”

on

page 29

for detailed information.

Other Settings

Ensure that the router table is set to a minimum of 5500 (can be higher), the authorization table is set to 100, the receipt table is set to a minimum of 100 (larger fueling sites may require 125), and the product table is set to 99 (you can check these settings and make changes, if necessary, at the prompt by running TABLE). If you change the size of any table, reboot the Site

Controller after you exit from the TABLE program. The operating system will alert you if the router table is too small and will give the minimum size to set the table.

NBS -I will reset all router values to defaults by erasing previous settings. The network data tables will be affected and will need to be re-entered.

To initialize, proceed as follows:

1

Settle with the host before updating the system (refer to

“Settlement for NBS”

on

page 36 ).

2

Run PU SIT (purge site).


Setting Up CFN III with NBS Preparing for Configuration

3

Run NBS -I to initialize the network parameters, refer to

“Initialize Current NBS Configuration (-I)”

on

page 15 .

4

Run NBS -E (or select Edit Network Parameters, from the menu system).

5

Select the Walkthrough edit option, W. This will step you through all the basic data required for the network.

6

Run MODEMS (or NBS -M) to set up the modem type, baud and channel. MODEMS can also be used for VSAT. The baud rate for VSAT must be set to 2400 baud. The modem can be set to

2400 or 1200 baud.

7

Reboot and run NBS -C to set the card parameters.

CAUTION

The product cross-reference must be set up (step 8 ) before doing any transactions.

Failure to do so will result in loss of revenue. It is critical for the following:

• The Gasboy fuel product codes are set to a fuel attribute (attribute 8) to be properly cross-referenced to the host product codes. Else, completed transactions will be rejected resulting in loss of revenue.

• If Gift cards/Prepaid cards are to be used for balance request, activation, or recharge, they must be set up as a Gasboy product and properly cross-referenced.

If not set up properly with the cross-reference table, the result will be a sale and not an action to be taken on the card.

• Coupons are to be set up as Negative products on the Gasboy system

(attribute 1). If they are not properly cross-referenced to a coupon code, the coupon will be read as a sale and not a discount.

• If cash back codes are not enabled as a withdrawal (attribute 3) and properly cross-referenced, the cash back will create an out-of-balance condition in the system.

• Verify if all product cross-references to be used by a location are approved by the host system. Refer to

“Product Codes” on page 40 for Product codes to be sent to

the host.

Note: Using non-approved NBS product codes or non-fuel product codes for fuel sales will result in monetary losses.

8

Run NBS -X to set up the product cross-reference.


Preparing for Configuration Setting Up CFN III with NBS

Initialization Type

The initialization type is not configurable. It displays the type of network host that is used with the software being configured.

Main Host and Backup Host Phone Numbers

The phone numbers the modem uses for NBS authorization will be provided by an NBS representative. Refer to the modem manual for information on phone number options. Do not specify Pulse or Tone. The NBS router always dials using tone control.

Carrier Wait Timeout

This parameter specifies the time to wait in seconds for a connection with the host system. If

VSAT is used, this parameter must be set to 10 seconds.

Verification Timeout

This parameter is set to the total time in seconds it can take for dial, redial, and transactional processing. It is recommended to leave this parameter at its default value.

Terminal ID

This parameter is used to identify the merchant system used. The Terminal ID is the link between all financial transactions and the merchant. The merchant ID is obtained from NBS prior to installation.



Pre-auth Mode

This parameter can be set to one of the following modes:

1 - Value Only

The value-based mode will set the pre-authorization limits to the amount listed in the Card

Parameter table for every card. Refer to

“Edit Card Parameters (-C)” on page 20

for more information about setting card limits. In this mode of operation, PS2000 is still supported by

NBS for all applicable bank cards. Specialty club cards, such as the Quarles and Fuel24 cards are restricted by their internal restriction limits and are not subject to the limits in the Card

Parameter Table.

2 - PS2000 Table

The PS2000 mode allows the Card Parameter Table to restrict non-standard bank cards. The more standard bank cards will be limited only by the amount authorized by the host system, not the setting in the Card Parameter Table. Refer to the following table to identify the card limits set by the Card Parameters Table, limits set by the host, or limits sent in specialty cards.

3 - Host Based

Host Equity-Based Authorization (HEBA), the system default, allows the host to govern the amount of authorization for each card. Depending on the rules of the card, one fleet card can be authorized for $250 while another fleet card is set to a different amount. Using HEBA is a flexible (and recommended) way of dealing with PS2000 requirements.

One of the greatest advantages of HEBA is its ability to provide an organization’s group with equality. If any changes are needed for a card type, one change at the host will change the behavior at all merchant locations within that group. This allows a cost-effective way of controlling or modifying pre-authorizations at all merchant locations from one host change.

The Card Parameter Table is not utilized for setting limits in this mode for any cards except debit and gift cards. Debit and gift cards must always have their limits regulated by the Card

Parameter Table. Review the debit and gift card sections for more information about using these types of cards. Specialty cards, if set up to use the site limit table, will not honor the site limit table in HEBA mode. Specialty cards, used in HEBA mode, will be limited by the host.



Local Authorized Fallback Processing

The maximum hours allowed in a fallback condition provides protection for a site from being in a fallback condition for an excessive amount of time. This is especially useful at unattended sites, where fallback processing may not be noticed for an extended period of time. The default of zero (0) disables fallback from occurring. This field is represented in hours and the maximum hours of contiguous fallback is 120 hours. This parameter must be set to a valid fallback number along with the card parameters being enabled for fallback, refer to

“Edit Card Parameters (-C)”

on

page 20 , to allow fallback processing.

Note: The system must be rebooted whenever this parameter is changed.

Use Modem Pre-dial

This parameter, when enabled (default), starts the host modem dial process during the last prompt message. For example, if a debit card or fleet card is used that only requires a PIN entry, the dial process will take place when the prompt is displayed. If a fleet card is used which requires several entries to multiple prompt displays, the dialing process will start when the last prompt is displayed.

Note: Modem pre-dial will not work with VSAT that expect transaction data to be sent instantaneously with the pre-dial host connect. Contact the VSAT host administrator before using this option on non-modem systems.

UTC Time Zone Offset and Daylight Savings Indicator

Each system must be configured for the correct UTC time zone and daylight savings (if applicable in that geographic location). It is possible for the host system to deny transactions based on wrong date and time zones.

Suppress Veh # on Receipts

This parameter allows the option of not printing vehicle number on receipts due to local customs or restrictions.

Attendant at Pumps and Signed Receipts

Some locations require an attendant to pump fuel for the customer. This parameter must be enabled if the location requires an attendant to service customers for fuel purchases.

Accept Visa Fleet as Std Visa Card

If the merchant or host system does not accept Visa Fleet but processes standard Visa cards, then this item must be enabled to allow a Visa Fleet card to be processed as a standard Visa card.

Accept MasterCard Fleet as Std MasterCard

If the merchant or host system does not accept MasterCard Fleet but processes standard

MasterCard cards, then this item must be enabled to allow a MasterCard Fleet card to be processed as a standard MasterCard card.

Max Authorized Card Amount

This parameter is used to specify the maximum amount allowed for a single card purchase on this system. Island limits are set elsewhere. However, they cannot exceed this house limit.



Host Transport Protocol

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If the onsite VSAT is down and a modem must be put into service, ensure that the Host

Transport Protocol parameter is changed before putting the modem in service.

This parameter is used to specify the method of communication to the host system.

1 - Modem or 2 - VSAT are the two options given; they are not compatible. Ensure that you determine which method will be used before running the system. The default is set to Modem when the system is initialized.

Set Prompts to the Second (2nd) Display Line on Readers

Due to the position and type of Graphic reader, some patrons have difficulty viewing prompts on the top line. This parameter, when Enabled (default is Disable), will shift all but the local and debit prompts to the second line of the dispenser reader device; debit and local prompts must be set from the system reader program. If setting the prompts to the second (2nd) line is desired, the prompts in the system reader program must also be set to the second line by prefixing “~2” to the prompt messages.

Note: This option is not implemented on many two-line dispensers, including an ICR.

A price level of 2 is the standard default for host-authorized cards. The price level in this table will allow an override of the default price level. The allowed price levels for a host-authorized card are from -1 to 9. Some host-authorized club cards use a specified price level within their card parameters. To prevent this type of club card’s price level from being overwritten, a value of -1 is used. When a patron card is used for a sale, the price level assigned for the patron card will be used for the sale, not the price level of the payment card. The system will use the payment card’s price level only if the patron card does not have a price level assigned.

• The OK Rtn column is used to flag if a card can be used for product return. Most cards will allow a product return. If there is a card that is not to be used for product return, this field can be set to “N” for that specified card.

• The OK Voice column is used to identify the cards that can be used for voice authorizations. If a voice authorization is not allowed on a card, the field can be set to “N”.

• OK Ovride is used to allow or disallow a card fuel sale from exceeding the host-authorized amount. Setting this to “Y” will allow the fuel purchase to exceed the authorization by the host. The following cards must not be considered for Host authorization override:

- Fuel24

- Kwik Trip Gift

- Quarles



• OK Loc Auth is used to flag cards that are allowed to fallback and be locally authorized.

Refer to

Local Product Cross Reference (-X)

The Product Cross Reference creates a correspondence between the products in the Gasboy product table and the host system. The menu shows the local Gasboy product code as it was entered in the product table, the name of the product and the cross-reference product associated with it. The default cross-reference, after running NBS -I, is Miscellaneous.

Note:

Figure 4-8

is an example of what is displayed after running NBS -I and may have different local codes and descriptions than the screen at the site.

To cross-reference or map a local code to an appropriate NBS code, enter the Local Product

Code at the prompt. A Gasboy reference number can be entered or enter a “?” to provide a list of reference numbers and descriptions. A complete list of NBS cross-reference codes can be

found in “Product Codes” on page 40

.

CAUTION

All product cross-references will be defined as Miscellaneous after running NBS -I.

The Miscellaneous cross-reference will work for most Gasboy code merchandise types. However if fuel, coupons (negative flow), or cash back products are not cross-referenced to their correct perspective codes, monetary losses, inaccurate customer billing, and system out-of-balance conditions will occur.

If a new Gasboy code is entered into the system after running NBS -I, the new code will not show up on the menu. However, the Gasboy code can still be cross-referenced by entering the code number and selecting the NBS product description that best matches the new product.

The new Gasboy product number will show up on the screen the next time the screen is displayed. It is not necessary to run NBS -I again to cross-reference new Gasboy product codes.



The GL3 system is designed to help protect the merchant from monetary losses due to incomplete or inaccurate cross-references for fuel, negative items, and cash back items. Before exiting the NBS -X program, the system checks for the following errors:

• Fuel Products: All Gasboy fuel product types must be enabled as a fuel type. The GL3 system will check for any fuel product types that are cross-referenced to the

“Miscellaneous” default code, and set up a cross-reference to “Misc Auto Fuel”. However the system cannot detect if a Gasboy fuel code is cross-referenced to a non-fuel item that is not miscellaneous and will not attempt to fix the error.

CAUTION

If fuel codes are not correctly cross-referenced, monetary losses will occur and fuel sale completion transactions will be rejected by the host system. Also, Ethanol, E85, Bio fuels, and others need to be correct for tax reporting and tax incentives.

• Negative Products: All Gasboy discount or refund codes must be enabled as a refund.

The refund-enabled codes will be checked for a cross-reference to Discount General,

Coupon Proprietary, or Coupon General. If the refund code is not cross-referenced to one of the discount codes listed, the system will automatically create a cross-reference to

Discount General.

CAUTION

If discount codes are not enabled as a refund and properly cross-referenced, the discount will act as a sale and the customer will be charged for the amount of the discount instead of receiving the discount. This will also create out-of-balance conditions in the system.

• Cash Back Products: All Gasboy cash back codes must be enabled as a withdrawal product type. If the cash back codes are not cross-referenced with the Cash Back reference, the system will create a cash back cross-reference for that code.

CAUTION

If cash back codes are not enabled as a withdrawal and properly cross-referenced, the cash back will create an out-of-balance condition in the system.

To load or restore the data

• Enter NBS -R filename.

Note: Not all data needed for the network interface to restore properly will be saved. Certain data (for example, phone numbers) can be restored using the RESTORE command, provided it was backed up using the SYSBACK command.


Using NBS Understanding Fuel and Card Limits

Disabling Bank Cards at the Island during the Evening (-G)

To disable the use of all NBS accepted cards at the Island, run the command:

NBS -g0 (zero)

To enable the use of all NBS accepted cards at the Island, run the command:

NBS -g1 (one)

A cron command can be set up to run the commands automatically to disable or enable bank card acceptance at the Island.

Understanding Fuel and Card Limits

The pump limit and the Maximum Authorized Amount Limit are limiting factors for all pre-authorization modes. The pump limit and Maximum Authorized Amount Limit are the only two limits that apply to the specialized, self-limiting cards.

Max Limit

Pump limits are specified in the pump table. The pump parameters can be accessed by typing

“pump” from the terminal and selecting “configure pumps”. These parameters must be in dollars. Max specifies the maximum amount of fuel purchase that can take place with a single sale. This parameter is to be considered the top limit or the maximum fuel limit allowed. It must be set high enough to allow convenient fueling for the patrons while being low enough to limit exposure to fraud or equipment malfunctions. Max will not restrict or limit other type of purchases. For example, if Max is set to $200 and a pre-auth “fill” purchase took place for fuel and $300 of merchandise, the allowed purchase amount would be $500. Currently, the Max limit can be set to zero to indicate no-limits. This may not be a supported feature for the future and it is highly recommended that a valid Max pump limit value be placed in that field. Refer to MDE-4872 CFN III Configuration Manual for Windows XP Version 3.6 for all pump limits and parameters.

Fill Limit

The pump table is used for setting the fill limits. Fill limit is used to limit the liability for cash or other types of pay-after-pumping options. This field is usually set to $50 or lower to limit liability if there is a driveoff. To work correctly, this field must be set to ($) dollars. The system does not directly read from this table for processing fuel sales. The pump table is used to load the pump cut-off parameters when the pump table is reconstructed.

Refer to

“Cut-off Limit” on page 27 for details of the table used by the system for fuel sales.


Understanding Fuel and Card Limits Using NBS

Cut-off Limit

The cut-off limit can be viewed by typing “print pump”. The field is called “limit.” The cut-off limit is loaded by default from the pump fill limit. If the pump table is reconstructed for any reason, the cut-off will be reloaded from pump fill. Typing “load cutoff” and loading in the new parameters can change the cut-off field. The entered value must be preceded by a dollar symbol ($). If the cut-off is changed, the pump fill must be changed as well, unless the change is temporary. If a table reconstruct takes place, the cut-off limits will be overwritten by the pump fill limits. The cut-off limit field is used by the system for calculating the cut-off. The pump fill limit is strictly for resetting the defaults in the cut-off field if there is a table reconstruct.

Card Parameter Table

Depending on the pre-auth mode (NBS -E) listed under “Pre-auth Mode”

on

page 17 , the Card

Parameter Table may be applied against all cards or very few cards.

• For Value-based mode, the Card Parameter Table is used for all cards.

• For PS2000 mode, the Card Parameter Table is used for non-standard bank cards

• For HEBA mode, the Card Parameter Table is used only for Gift, Debit, and Specialty cards.

Max Authorized Card Amount

The Maximum Authorized Card Amount is found in NBS -E.

Refer to page 18

. Just as the pump limit is the absolute limit for fuel, this field is the absolute monetary limit allowed for any card at the island. This field can be used to reduce the dollar amount authorized by the bank network. In most cases, this field is set to the highest limit that a card can receive from the bank network host system. For example, if the bank network host authorized a card for

$250 and the max-authorized amount is set to $200, the patron would not be able to receive more than $200 of fuel.

Outside Authorizations

All of the above limits apply to Islander or MPD. An outside sale can be mixed with other product items, such as car wash or other services. When approved, these types of services will be taken into account and the total fuel allowed will be reduced to meet the authorized limits.

Inside Sales at the POS

Inside sales are not required to meet PS2000 restrictions or other outside sale requirements.

Inside pre-authorized fuel sales can be mixed with purchased merchandise, just as post-pay sales can be mixed. The sale amount is restricted by the amount of fuel allowed to pump, set by pump max limit.

If an inside pre-auth sale is set for “fill”, the fill value will be obtained from the Card

Parameter Table for all cards, except the specialized cards that obtain their limits from club format limitations. Else, the value entered for the pre-auth amount will be sent to the host for authorization.

Note: Specialized cards will obtain their “fill” value from the Card Parameter Table when the

HEBA pre-auth mode is utilized.


Using NBS Debit Card Processing

Debit Card Processing

The GL3 network system uses a Derived Unique Key Per Transaction (DUKPT) method of key control and PIN block transfer to the host system. To set up debit card processing, proceed as follows:

• Ensure that the reader parameters are entered and correct for displaying the correct messages. Review

“Reader Parameters” on page 33

and MDE-4872 CFN III

Configuration Manual for Windows XP Version 3.6, Section 7 for setting up Fleet, Club, and Debit PIN prompting.

• Ensure that the sys_par parameters for the console, reader, and network are set to remote

checking. If the Bank PIN D.E.S. is not set to “yes,” the PIN pad will not provide any debit PIN information and will generate the error message PIN PAD ERROR on the Profit

Point screen.

• Use the Load Key command to set the system into DUKPT mode. The data entered must be exactly 18 characters, which consist of a two-digit ID followed by 16 zeros. The first key type is “00” and the second key type is a one followed by an F (1F). Enter the following commands (do not type the quote marks, they are for identifying the command or data to be entered); <enter> indicates that you need to press the RETURN or ENTER key:

• “load key” <enter>

• “000000000000000000” <enter>

• “load key” <enter>

• “1F0000000000000000” <enter>

• Set up the Profit Point keyboard to process debit transactions. A debit key can be set up through the Profit Point configuration menu. Refer the keyboard configuration information in MDE-4356 Profit Point Reference Manual.

• Debit cards always obtain their Fill pre-auth value from the Card Parameter Table

(NBS -C). Therefore, set the Fill Amt to a value that is reasonable. It is possible for debit cards to be denied if the pre-auth requested amount is too high. Though bank systems must allow a lesser amount to be authorized, it is not required, and many banks will just deny the purchase. It is recommended that the Fill Amt be somewhere around the PS2000 authorization amount allowed.

Cash Back Processing

The GL3 system will allow cash back with debit transactions. A Gasboy product must be set up as an enabled withdrawal product type and set up with the minimum and maximum amount allowed with no tax. The product must be cross-referenced with the NBS cash back product code. The merchant can provide cash back service by selecting the cash back product and entering the amount of cash to be provided to the customer. The debit sale will be processed as any other normal debit sale, with the exception of cash being owed to the card holder. The receipt will list the cash back Gasboy product and the amount. This provides the customer accurate information about the sale and the amount of cash back.


Gift Card and Loyalty Enrollment Using NBS

Gift Card and Loyalty Enrollment

CAUTION

Action items must be properly cross-referenced to the correct codes for Gift Card and Loyalty Enrollment functions to work correctly. No card actions must be combined with any sales; they must be separate and independent actions. Any declined actions must be voided.

Gift Card

Loyalty Enrollment

Enrollment of a card cannot be combined with a sale. It is a separate and an independent action. This action is accomplished by selecting the Enrollment key or product, depending on the configuration, entering any amount, typically 1 cent, pressing CREDIT, and swiping the card. The amount entered will not be used for any charges against the card or the merchant; it is for system compatibility only. If a reply message states Already Enrolled, then the action must be voided.

Receipts

Action items such as Activate, Recharge, and Balance request require a value to be entered at the terminal. Creating a sale for a Prepaid card or Recharging the card is a separate and independent action from the actual Activation or Recharge process. To activate or recharge a card is just like making a credit card post-pay sale. Depending upon the setup, a key or product selection, the required action is selected and the value is entered:

• Press CREDIT and swipe the gift card. Activation amount is listed on the card. If not, the card can be activated for any amount from $5.00 to $750.00. A recharge can be for any amount up to $750.00 on any card, no matter what was listed as the activation value. To obtain a balance request, an amount must be entered. Entering any amount, typically

1 cent, will not be used for charges against the card or the merchant; it is for system compatibility only.

• Gift cards always obtain their Fill pre-auth value from the Card Parameter Table

(NBS -C). An approved island pre-authorization request can be for a lesser amount when it will zero out the card balance. However, if the limit is set too low, the patron may not receive the fill amount expected. The host system will never approve a gift card for more than the request amount. It is recommended to set the Card Parameter at or above the current PS2000 authorization level.

The action receipts will display the product action with a void for the price. Gift Cards will have the card balance printed below the total. Successful loyalty enrollments will print Loyalty

Enrolled after the total.


Using NBS Host Authorization Override

Host Authorization Override

Host authorization override allows a sale to exceed the pre-authorized host limit. For example, if the host pre-authorized the sale of fuel for $75, the cardholder will be allowed to exceed that limit. The merchant can control the amount of override for a specific card and specific pump.

CAUTION

Using the Host Authorization Override function can create a charge back on card purchases.

Setting Up Override for a Payment Card

The card parameters table contains a Y/N flag for the Override column. Setting the parameter to Y for a specific card will allow that card to be used for a host authorization override. Setting the override functionality of a card must be done in conjunction with properly setting up a pump limit.

Setting Up Override for a Specific Pump

The pump limit must be set for all pumps with host authorization override facility. Setting the fill limit is used to limit the override amount. For example, if the Host Authorization Override is to be limited to $150, set the fill amount to $150. This will allow the cardholder to purchase up to $150 of fuel. If the fill limit is set to an amount which is lesser than the host authorization amount, the host authorization amount is used to set the fueling limit. The pump max limit is in effect for the host authorization override and cannot be exceeded. Host authorization override purchases from the pump cannot exceed the Max Authorized Card Amount setting.

Refer to

“Understanding Fuel and Card Limits”

on

page 26

for more information on limit details.

Fallback Processing

The host system must authorize the use of Fallback processing. Unauthorized cards processed in a fallback condition can result in denied completed transactions and charge back.

Fallback processing is a method of locally authorizing a card transaction for a product purchase and later sending the completed transaction to the host system for approval. This processing takes place when the host system cannot be accessed for an authorization of a purchase. A disabled modem or phone line, as well as a transaction that cannot be completed with the host, may lead to a Fallback approval. Fallback processing can occur only for pre-authorized card requests. Post-pay or other types of card actions cannot be processed under fallback conditions. Else, a “Down Try Later” or “Please Try Again” message will be displayed.


Voice Authorized or Pre-authorized Transactions Using NBS

For a card to be processed in Fallback mode, the Fallback time in hours (NBS -E) must be set to a number greater than zero. The time limit specifies the maximum allowed hours for the system to process contiguous Fallback transactions. If the hour limit is exceeded, the system will not allow locally authorized cards to be processed. The hour limit will start over when the host can process a transaction.

Enabling a card to be processed (NBS -C) along with setting the Fallback Maximum time allowed would allow that specific card to be processed in Fallback mode. Currently, only the

Fuel24 and Quarles cards have been approved for Fallback processing.

Voice Authorized or Pre-authorized Transactions

This is for paying off a sale that received a voice authorization or a transaction that had been previously authorized. A voice authorization or pre-authorization transaction can be used for a merchandise and/or fuel sales on a Profit Point example.

Using NBS Special System Setup

To process fleet and/or debit cards, the PIN prompt step (type 3) must be added twice, contiguously. The first PIN step is used for the prompting of fleet cards. The second PIN step is used to prompt for a debit card's PIN number. To avoid confusion, always include both PIN steps, even if fleet or debit cards are not accepted.

• The first PIN step is used for local cards and some fleet cards. Newer PIN pads and dispensers will only accept specific type of prompts for a fleet card PIN number. Some of the most common acceptable prompts are:

Enter Personal ID

Enter Driver No

Enter Club ID

Enter Fleet PIN

Enter ID Number

• The second PIN step is used to prompt for an encoded secure PIN number, which is associated with debit cards. Unlike the local and fleet card prompts, the second PIN prompt is not restricted to a limited set of acceptable prompts. The most common debit prompts are:

Enter Your PIN

Enter PIN number

Enter secure PIN

Note: The sequence number for the two PIN steps are contiguous. The second PIN step must immediately follow the first PIN prompt and both PIN steps must be present, even if debit or fleet cards are not accepted.

An example of how the Odometer, Vehicle, and PIN prompts are used are shown in

Figure 4-10

The Console parameters for Odometer and Auxiliary prompts must be acceptable to the new

PCI-compliant PIN pads. Review the Reader Parameter section for the acceptable system prompts. If the prompts deviate from the suggested list, the PIN pad will not work correctly.

Refer to MDE-4872 CFN III Configuration Manual for Windows XP Version 3.6 for details on setting up the Console.

Special Card Keys for Manual Entry

If you accept manual entry for certain types of cards at the Profit Point (Wex, Voyager, and

Cenex Regional), the modular Profit Point must be running version 2.3B or later or the integral

Profit Point must be running 3.3B or later.

With NBS, you may need to set up special keys on the Profit Point for handling the manual entry of certain types of cards. After you make the assignment, the keys must be labeled to indicate their new use. The manual-entry process is identical to the standard method of using the

CREDIT

key (which is described in MDE-4355 Profit Point Clerk’s Manual). You must assign keys on the Profit Point, or use special function 68, if you want to manually enter these card types. After you make the assignment, the keys must be labeled to indicate their new use.

On the Profit Point, special function 68 displays the Network card selection menu. You can deactivate the cards you do not want by commenting out, with an asterisk in the first column, the appropriate line in the CONFIG.POS file (refer to MDE-4356 Profit Point Reference

Manual, Set up CONFIG.POS File section).

When changing the CONFIG.POS to include special card types for which you will allow manual entry, you will use three columns in the Setup menu: Network Card, Type, and Prefix.

Using NBS Settlement for NBS

Restoring Transactions

If it becomes necessary to restore transactions, NBSETTLE must be run afterwards to reset the batch pointers and resynchronize the site/host totals. The settlement report (refer to

“The Settlement Report”

on

page 37

) may show that the site is out of balance. If you do not run the NBSETTLE command, the next settlement will fail or be out of balance.

Settlement for NBS

How Settlement Works

There will be a settlement (sometimes referred to as a batch or batch balance) done with NBS at least once a day - this can be accomplished automatically with the use of a cron command.

Settlement is done to post the day’s sales for billing and to check the system’s totals against

NBS to verify that the systems agree. You must pay close attention to the settlement reports and contact NBS if there is any discrepancy. You must do a settlement to receive payment for credit purchases.

Settlement is usually done sometime early in the morning. The command to be executed as a cron is NBSETTLE. For example, the NBS configuration below executes a settlement at

2 A.M.

LOAD CRON 1 @0200 -NBSETTLE

The cron entry looks like this in a PRINT CRON command.

Figure 4-11: PRINT CRON Command

A* Print Cron

# When Command

1 *** **/**/** 02:00 -NBSettle

A*

When settlement occurs, a message is printed on the log indicating whether an out-of-balance condition occurred. The message will be either Settlement BALANCED or Settlement OUT

OF BALANCE. If an out-of-balance situation occurs, consult an NBS representative to try to resolve the error.

When the settle command is executed, a report will be generated on the local log printer and a disk file. The saved files will be stored in the directory NBSREP and the files will be named

DAY.MON, DAY.TUE, DAY.WED, and so on.

If the settlement fails to occur automatically, you can sign on to the system and type the command NBSETTLE to do a settlement manually.

If you do not have a log printer, redirect commands from the NBSETTLE.CMD file.

Required Cron(s)

PURGE SITE

Use the PURGE SITE command to clear the transactions from the transaction file to prevent it from filling up and shutting down the site (refer to MDE-4871 CFN III Manager’s Manual for

Windows XP Embedded - Version 3.6 for details). It can be run from a cron once a day after the settlement if the transaction file is large enough to contain a full day of transactions (refer

to “Settlement for NBS”

on

page 36 ). Ensure that the settlement was successful before running

PURGE SITE. Busy locations may need to have the PURGE SITE run more often. Always run a settlement before running the PURGE SITE.

Note: If the STOP command is to be used in a cron, do not use the STOP;A option. If a sales transaction is being sent to the NBS host and the Site Controller when the STOP;A command is issued, the Site Controller will reboot.


Using NBS Required Cron(s)

Automatic Voids

These automatically generated transactions will be displayed on the log with the authorization number “Cancel”. This entry notes that a communication failure occurred during a sales authorization and to prevent double-charging the customer, the first authorization attempt was

“reversed”.

Error Messages

Infrequently, NBS may initially authorize the use of a card, but when the transaction is completed, reject the completion of that transaction. In this unlikely event, the following message appears:

Network Halted

You must reboot the network software.

NBS: Settlement failed, disk full

Settlement was attempted and the disk drive had no room on it to create the settlement files.

Check the site controller directory on the SC3 PC and make room by deleting files that are no longer needed.

Settlement, OUT OF BALANCE, site sent xx.xx

The site controller requested a batch balance of xx.xx and the NBS host responded with out of balance.

NBS: Settlement failed, hang-up

The connection to NBS was lost during settlement. You must attempt it again.

NBS: Invalid Batch requested

An incorrect batch value was entered, the legal range is 0 to 9999.

Completion invoice # not found

If this occurs repeatedly, remove the transaction from the batch using NBS -D #, where # is the site transaction number. Report this Invoice number to NBS if the batch does not settle.

Troubleshooting Communications

If the site is having problems with host communications, the debug program may be used to log the communication sessions. The debug program has several levels of logging available.

The command is:

DEBUG x y

Where x is the output director and y is the level of information to be logged. Typing

DEBUG without any parameters will cause the program to display information about itself, the output, and the information level.

Output director:

0 = None (no logging)

1 = Output to screen

2 = Output to router.log file.

3 = Output to both the screen and the router.log file

For logging site problems, the output director must be set to 2 or 3.

Information Level:

0 = None (no logging)

1 = Most verbose messaging. This is not necessary for most conditions.

2 = Preferred setting for communications (modem) problems.

3 = Preferred setting for most other site problems.

4 = Only pertinent information is logged.

5 = Only critical information is logged. This may not be verbose enough to debug site problems.

For debugging host communications, the command must look like the following:

DEBUG 2 2

Before starting the logging process, ensure that the router.log file is clear of any obsolete information. This can be done by typing DEL P:ROUTER.LOG.

After the capture is complete, the debug can be turned off by typing DEBUG 0 0.

Contact Gasboy Technical Service for assistance, or you may print the file to the log printer using the command:

TYPE;>LOG P:ROUTER.LOG


Using NBS Troubleshooting Communications

In the file, if you see many occurrences of the following, take the corresponding action:

Description

>>Modem init. error

>>Busy

>> No dialtone

>> Lost Carrier

Action

Run MODEMS, check the modem selected or try a different configuration. The program displays a list of Gasboy certified modems. If the modem being used is not in the list, contact Gasboy Technical Support.

You may have the wrong phone number entered.

Check the modem’s phone line.

Have the phone line checked.
