3 System ID: A unique number assigned to your system by Gasboy. The System ID should be
the same for all of your company's sites. System ID is encoded on each privately issued card to
limit the use of the card to the issuer's system and to protect the issuer's system from
unauthorized cards. It is not a good idea to change the number assigned by Gasboy.
4 Second system ID: Allows your system to accept cards issued by another system.
5 Network poll address: The drop address of the Site Controller on an on-line CFN network.
The site will answer to this address when polled. The default address is 1, which should be
used in all single Site Controller systems. The Gasboy PC communications package, PC Site
Control, will work only with sites having a poll address of 1.
6 Manager key permission: Currently not functioning; site is set up with the highest
permission level. Determines what permission level the user will be promoted to while the key
on the Site Controller is turned to the manager position.
7 PIN key: Used in the club card PIN calculation. It is always four digits, so leading zeros
should be used if necessary. It is assigned by Gasboy, and should be the same for all your sites
that accept a particular club card. Keep this key confidential. When the four digits are entered,
the screen will display ****. There is no default for the PIN key.
8 Backup password: Used if no password has been loaded for user 0, or if the backup password
switch is set.
The default backup password is GASBOY. It is recommended that you not change this
password. If you do change the backup password, write it down in a safe place where it will
never be lost.
9 Lockout: You can choose either bit-mapped lockout or limited lockout.
If you choose bit-mapped lockout, you may specify whether the table is maintained in memory
(the usual arrangement) or in a disk file.
For bit-mapped lockout, you must specify the number of digits to use for lockout. Up to eight
digits can be used for bit-mapped lockout. The numbers used for lockout are interpreted as
numbers with leading zeros assumed.
With memory-based bit-mapped lockout the Site Controller stores 96 card numbers per record.
(The first record is used for other information.)
The number of digits in the card number is also a limiting factor. If the card number is four
digits, the highest card number that can be used is 9999, if it is five, the highest is 99,999, and
if it is six, the highest is 999,999.
If a larger number of cards or longer card numbers are needed than can be provided with bit-
mapped lockout in memory, you have two choices: bit-mapped lockout on disk (which slows
down card verification) or limited lockout.
For limited lockout, the number used for lockout can be up to 19 digits. The numbers used for
lockout are stored as strings of digits and leading zeros are not assumed. When club card
numbers are entered for lockout, a C must come before the number.
