Introduction
1 – Introduction
This reference manual explains commands that are used to setup, maintain,
produce reports on, and diagnose problems for a CFN III system.
Your service technician will set up your CFN III and introduce you to some of
its features. This manual can help you avoid many unnecessary service calls,
and help assure that your CFN III works the way you want it to.
This manual is for anyone who needs to know how to issue commands to the
CFN III, or interpret the log printout and other reports. Generally the site
manager or person in charge of operations at the site should be familiar with
this manual and its contents so you can operate and maintain the CFN III
information. Attendants do not need to read this manual in order to operate the
Check Point or Profit Point consoles, which are covered in other manuals.
This manual is not intended to be read cover to cover, but you should become
familiar with its contents so you can look up information when you need it.
Your Operating System
Your Site Controller III (SC III) comes with a PC operating system called
Windows NT
® from Microsoft. This new system is icon based, meaning that to
access the command window and/or applications you must use your mouse.
You must move the mouse (which moves the arrow on the screen) over the icon
that you want to open and double click, using the left mouse button. Your
technician will instruct you on the basics of this system and accessing your
CFN3 command window. The CFN3 command window must remain running at
all times. It can be minimized, more about that later, but once closed, you will
lose contact with the site controller.
When the CFN3 software was installed, your technician or system
administrator configured it with your particular devices and the procedures
your company follows. For example, if your site accepts cash for fuel, the CFN
III has been told whether the customer is required to pay before pumping (a
prepay system) or is allowed to pay after pumping (a postpay system).
Starting your SC III
The computer is turned on (booted) by pressing the button on the front of the
computer. Make sure that the monitor is turned on and there are no diskettes in
the A: drive. It will take a few moments to start. You do not need to double click
the CFN3 icon to start operations, the operating system has been programmed
