Gasboy CFN Site Controller - Manual (Page 28)

20 Insight Interface - CFN3 only Pump Interface Manual v1.3
Gasboy CFN Series 03/20/03
Merchandise Sales (CFN III version 3.3+ only)
The insight.axx file contains the following parameters for selling merchandise:
ITEM_AMOUNT_PROMPT=enter amount $
ITEM=Cig pack:189:22
ITEM=Qt oil:99:22
ITEM=Other:0:22
ITEM=Donut:75:22
ITEM=Beer:129:22
ITEM=Junk:999:22
The ITEM_AMOUNT_PROMPT= line is the prompt to use for merchandise entry when an
ITEM with 0 price is selected. This prompt is used to ask the user to enter the dollar amount of
the item. This prompt is also required for debit.
The ITEM= lines are the merchandise items that are to be displayed on the Insight menu when
merchandise is requested. Following the name of the item (and after :) is the price in cents (no
decimal point). After that (and another :) is the department number to use for the item. Currently
all department numbers should be the same because all items are added together locally before
sending. In the future we may allow multiple items from different departments to be sent
separately.
In order to do merchandise, there must be at least 1 ITEM= line in the file so the site knows
what department to use for the merchandise. This may be a single item with 0 price, which causes
the Insight to ask for a dollar amount instead of displaying a list of items. There must also be a
Step-type 8 in you ICR program (see your CFN3 Configuration manual).
When the site asks for merchandise, the Insight displays the prompt and waits for an answer.
If the answer is YES, the Insight displays the items in the insight parameter file (insight.axx) on
the screen. When the user selects an item, the total is added to the merchandise total which is
displayed on the top of the screen. The user can select multiple items, pressing DONE to exit. If
the item’s price is 0, the Insight prompts the user to enter the price on the keypad. That amount is
then added to the total and the item menu reappears.
If the DPT doesn’t have a graphic display or doesn’t have softkeys or the parameter file has
no non-zero priced items in it, then the DPT will skip the item menu screen and go straight to
entering an amount if the answer to “want merchandise?” is yes. After an amount is entered it
shows the total amount and asks “More merchandise?”. This repeats until the customer presses
NO or CANCEL in response to “More merchandise?”
Refer to your CFN3 Manager’s Manual for information on loading merchandise in the site
controller.
Debit
If you are using a TED or DEBIT keypad, use the following setting in the Insight parameter file:
DEBIT_MODE=Y
If you are using DEBIT with a TED module, the Insight boards in each pump must be injected. If
you are not using a TED module, then each of the boards must be non-injected. If you have an
injected insight and no TED module, or if you have a TED module and a non-injected Insight
board, the system will not operate properly.
