Introduction
The Gasboy ® KE200 Key Encoder/Maintenance Terminal allows you to encode Fleetkeys that
are used in the 1000 FleetKey system and the CFN system with the key option. It also allows
you to update the data key with maintenance information for the FleetKey system.
Figure 1-1: FleetKey
A Fleetkey is a small, plastic-encased integrated circuit which is capable of storing and
retaining data. The Fleetkey is inserted, for encoding and maintenance purposes, into the
receptacle labeled “FLEETKEY” that is located on the face of the KE200. Encoding involves
electronically writing user-identification information for system access onto a Fleetkey.
The encoder itself can function as a standalone unit, or it can be attached to a data terminal or
host computer that allows easier setup and encoding. For the standalone unit, the keypad
allows you direct access to all setup, encoding, and maintenance procedures using a series of
menus. When a data terminal is attached, you can perform all setup and all encoding (with the
exception of inserting the key, which must be done at the KE200) using simple commands and
stored encoding formats. Maintenance tables and transactions can be set up and updated from
the data terminal. However, key updating must be performed at the KE200. When attached to
a host computer, communication is via command and response packets. All data exchanged
between the KE200 and the host computer is packaged as a data packet. C35365 KE200 Host
Communications Command and Response Format manual contains information on
communications and commands.
