Enhanced Communications Options for Gasboy Fleet Systems
Wireless Communication OptionGasboy is pleased to announce new enhanced communication options for TopKAT(tm), Series 1000(tm), FleetKey(tm), Islander 2(tm), and CFN systems - as well as a new Ground Loop/Lane Antenna option for the Fuel Point(tm) system. These enhanced communications options help site owners reduce costs and provide greater efficiency in installation and operations for Gasboy Fleet Systems.
Wireless communication is an option to replace current data wiring from the TopKAT, Series 1000/FleetKey or Islander 2 system to the Gasboy PC package or 3rd party software interface through the serial communication port of a PC.
The basic wireless communication option is made up of 2 kits, the Fuel Island Kit for Fleet Systems and the Base Station Kit for PC-based POS control systems. Additional Fuel Island Kits will be required for each additional fleet system within a single location to communicate with the base station. This option helps reduce installation costs by eliminating the need to break ground, install conduit and run wiring.
LAN Ethernet OptionMore and more sites are wired with Local Area Networks (LAN) communication infrastructure to reduce telephone communication costs. The LAN (Ethernet) Communication is an option to convert the serial communication interface to a static IP addressed LAN (Ethernet) based communication from the TopKAT, Series 1000/FleetKey, Islander 2 or CFN systems to the Gasboy PC package.
The LAN Ethernet Option helps reduce costs by eliminating telephone line installation and service costs for new or existing sites with LAN (Ethernet).
Ground Loop/Lane Antenna OptionThe Ground Loop - Lane Antenna offers a more durable alternative to the Host Antenna. The receiving antenna is located either on or in the fueling lane, and the vehicle G-ring antenna is installed on the underside of the vehicle.
