Setting Up CFN III with NBS
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
should 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.
CAUTION
• 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.
IMPORTANT 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).
