OPW Communications Technologies

Features and Applications

Ethernet IP Authorization Gateway

Application

Communicates to card networks to obtain authorizations via a wired Ethernet connection.

Features

Compatible with OPW FSC3000^™ Fuel Site Controller 100 Mbps data transmission supports high-speed transaction authorizations
Supports inbound and outbound communications PCI compliance ensures cardholder data security
Eliminates the need for a dedicated phone line
Unlike other converter devices, the IP Authorization Gateway is certified to communicate with payment processors such as Buypass, NBS and Paymentech^™ and/or fleet card networks to accept a wide range of cards including Bank Cards, CFN, TCH, Fuelman^®/GASCARD, Comdata, Fleet One^®, WEX^®, T-Chek^™, EFS and Pacific Pride
Plug-and-play
Dial-up back-up port activates automatically for uninterrupted processing
Reliable IP connection eliminates dropped calls, ghosting and lost authorizations
Tested and approved for use with the FSC3000^™ Fuel Site Controller and System2^® Fuel Site Controller (Please note: System2^® is not PCI Compliant)

Cellular IP Authorization Gateway

Application

Communicates to card networks to obtain authorizations via a cellular connection

Features

Compatible with OPW FSC3000^™ Fuel Site Controller 100 Mbps data transmission supports high-speed transaction authorizations
Eliminates need for land lines
Unlike other converter devices, the IP Authorization Gateway is certified to communicate with payment processors such as Buypass, NBS and Paymentech^™ and/or fleet card networks to accept a wide range of cards
PCI compliance ensures cardholder data security Verizon or AT&T network plans available

Wireless Ethernet

Application

Facilitates communications bridge between an FSC3000^™ Fuel Site Controller or OPW tank gauge and a remote Ethernet connection via a wireless signal.

Features

Provides a cost-effective communication solution to fuel sites where running Ethernet wire may be cost-prohibitive
Device’s outdoor IP66-rated aluminum enclosure can be mounted on a pole or building
For installations where the FSC3000 is mounted inside the FIT, the internal Wireless Ethernet ships factory-mounted on the FSC3000 and includes an antenna integrated into the FIT
Transmits communications up to 40 miles line-of-sight
128-bit AES encryption for secure communications

Wireless Petro-Net

Application

Provides wireless Petro-Net communication between fuel management equipment in place of a 2-wire Petro-Net communication.

Features

A perfect data transmission alternative for sites where running wired Petro-Net communication is either not practical or is cost-prohibitive
Can be used in Fuel Control and Tank Gauging applications
Fuel Site Controller data is encrypted during transmission
Install a wireless Petro-Net network to avoid these and other common obstructions: roads, railroad tracks, water lines, utility right-of-ways

Phoenix Communications Devices

USB Key Two-Way Data Transfer, Dial-In Modem and Inbound-Only Cellular Authorization Gateway

Application

Pulls site transaction data from FSC3000^™ Fuel Site Controller for importing into Phoenix^® Fuel Management Software.

Features

USB Key Two-Way Data Transfer: Records your transactions in a Phoenix-ready file format using the USB port on the back of an FSC3000. When ready to poll, remove the USB key from the Fuel Site Controller, take it to the PC running the Phoenix software, and copy the file into the Phoenix/Data directory.

Dial-In Modem: Utilizes standard telephone lines

Cellular Inbound-Only Authorization Gateway: Enables use of cellular communications; Verizon or AT&T network plans available
