Wireless Phone Lines:
mediums are not an option. Digital cell modem communications between analog devices is not reliable.
Phone line extenders are considerably more expensive than wireless networking equipment, but may be
considerably cheaper than trenching to install conduit.
Direct Connect:
Accounting Office, or at the service island. Such an interface will require an RS-232 connection between
a serial/USB port in the Central Controller, and a connection to the mainboard in the FMU.
Report Printer
A printer may be connected to the Central Controller to print reports generated by the Fuel Management
Software. The Central Controller may be configured for either a USB or parallel printer. If a parallel printer
is used, and there are multiple parallel ports, it should be connected to parallel port 1.
If the FuelMaster software program does not detect a printer connection when it sends a print command,
®
the Central Controller operator will be informed that the printer is not responding and will be prompted to
retry the printer or send the printout to a file.
Prokee /Smartcard Encoder
®
USB Smartcard Encoders will only read Smartcards when the Smartcard is inserted in the Encoder with
the memory chip facing down (on the underside of the Smartcard). Parallel Smartcard Encoders will only
read Smartcards when the Smartcard is inserted in the Encoder with the memory chip facing up (on the
topside of the Smartcard).
Prokee /Smartcard Encoders are connected to the Central Controller to encode and read Prokee
®
Smartcards. Encoders are not interchangeable for both Prokee

A parallel Prokee Encoder may be damaged if an AC converter other than the one designed for the
®
Encoder is used. The AC converter must be supplying 9 VDC, 300 mA.

Encoders are available with either a USB or parallel connection. A parallel encoder utilizes a DC power
supply and requires connection to an AC electrical outlet. USB encoders are powered through the
interface connection.
If both a parallel printer and parallel encoder are being connected to the Central Controller, connect the
encoder to parallel port 2 (LPT2). The software program permits the encoder to be configured for parallel
port 2, but the printer defaults to parallel port 1 (LPT1).
