2.5. INTERNET
The applications require a high-speed Ethernet interface card in order to enable connection to the
Internet via a broadband download/upload link. The internet is needed for remote support and
remote sites. However, the system may run on a self-contained LAN if neither of these options is
necessary. A dialup option is available for sites that must use it, but offers users only limited use of
the system. Dialup cannot be used with sites using Fuel Point PLUS.
2.6. DATABASE
The FHO and FMS are based on an MS-SQL database. Large companies (more than 5 stations) are
required to install the MS SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition prior to the FHO and FMS
installation. For small companies there is a database solution (MS-SQL express edition), which is
provided with the installation pack.
The Head Office uses ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connection to MSSQL Database,
ODBC is included in MS Windows OS.
Database backup is done either by MS-SQL backup mechanism or according to the company's
policy.

windows services configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Services' names begin
with the word "ORPAK."
