4 – Comparison of PC TopKAT Online System with
Standard TopKAT
Following is the list of comparisons between the PC TopKAT Online System and the Standard
TopKAT system.
• The PC TopKAT Online System is operationally very different than the standard Gasboy
TopKAT FMS system, which uses the standard Gasboy TopKAT PC Polling package.
• The Standard Gasboy PC TopKAT polling software cannot be used with the Online
TopKAT chips, as the transaction information layout is different.
• The Online TopKAT system uses exactly the same hardware as the standard TopKAT FMS
system.
• Pump and Pump Control Unit (PCU) setup is unchanged.
• The standard TopKAT FMS setup modes of Standalone/Master/Satellite do not apply.
• The Online TopKAT acts as a CLIENT to the PC Online Software database (HOST), in
the normal “Authorizing TopKAT systems” mode.
• Equipment and Driver (Vehicle and Employee) data are NOT stored in the Online
TopKAT.
• The System Configuration and Transaction files are stored on the Online System identical
to the Standard TopKat System.
• Equipment and Driver data are ONLY stored in the PC Online Software Database.
• The Online TopKAT, when in the “Offline” mode with the Online Software (BY
DESIGN) operates as a “wide-open system” and will accept any data entered at the Online
TopKAT prompts.
Note: In the rare case of suspected Online TopKAT firmware chip failure, standard Gasboy
TopKAT firmware chips could be used to test the TopKAT FMS system hardware. The
Online TopKAT chips must then be reinstalled or replaced for the TopKAT FMS system
to properly communicate with the PC Online Software.
