data Transfer
FleetConnect systems transfer data between the
DMS i1000 and your office PC via a USB memory
device or wirelessly using a cell modem. FleetConnect
systems transferring data via USB devices require no
additional setup outside of DMS i1000 FleetConnect
and FleetConnect Office. Systems using cell modems
require additional configuration and Liquid Controls’ DB
Manager software. See DB Manager Installation and
Setup Manual EM200-21.
Cell ModeM
FleetConnect systems setup for cell modem
transmissions send and retrieve data each time a record
is created. Every time a fueler logs on, logs off, delivers
fuel, edits the database, or enters a load truck command
from the DMS i1000 lap pad, the DMS i1000 sends new
data to and checks for new data from the office PC.

If you have a FleetConnect system that relies on USB
memory devices to transfer data, the USB devices
must be physically moved between the trucks’ DMS
i1000s and the office PC at the beginning and end of
each shift. In the office, the transaction data from the
DMS i1000s must be copied from each USB memory
device and pasted into the C:\DMS folder on the office
PC. Database updates for the DMS i1000s must be
copied from the C:\DMS folder and pasted onto the
USB memory stick. In the field, fuelers can manually
retrieve data from and manually save data to the
USB memory device before or after logon using the
Retrieve Database Updates and the Send
Transactions to Office commands.
The Retrieve Database Updates and the Send
Transactions to Office commands can be found
by pressing the Data (F5) button in the DMS Application
List screen, pressing the Misc (F5) button in the Fueler
Logon screen, or pressing the Misc (F5) button in the
Fill Vehicles screen. The Send Transactions to
Office command is used to save data from the DMS
i1000 onto the USB memory device for transfer to the
office PC.
The Retrieve Entire Database command is
typically used only when setting up the DMS i1000 unit.
It can be found in the the Database Management screen
(the screen that opens with the Data (F5) button)
retrieves the entire database from the USB memory
device onto the DMS i1000.
