Connecting a PC to the T5 series RS-232 Port
COMM 1 is used to connect a PC or laptop with the console via the Web Browser Interface for programming or remote
monitoring. COMM 2 is used only for VRM to retrieve ullage data from an external ATG.
If serial connection to Point-Of-Sale (POS) is desired for report retrieval, then we suggest using COMM 1 in Veeder-Root
(VR) mode.
Note: The PC or laptop will recognize this serial connection as a network connection and will not allow the use of a Local
Area Connection simultaneously. While it is not necessary to disconnect the Local Area Connection to connect
using the Serial port, it will be necessary to disconnect the Serial Connection through the computers operating
system in order to use the Local Area Connection again.

1. Using a female to male DB-9 straight serial cable, connect the female end of the serial cable to the serial
communication (COM) port of the computer.
2. Connect the male end of the serial cable to COMM 1 on the bottom of the console.
