Enable ATG for DC-401 using TCP/IP or RS-232

The DC-401 box can interface with the following ATG systems to facilitate live CStoreOffice® fuel reading polling:

• Gilbarco Veeder Root TLS-300, TLS-350, and TLS400+.
• Incon Tank Sentinel TS-750 and TS-1001.

Must be set to Veeder Root mode and restarted.

In addition, DC-401 can connect using one of the options below:

• The Tank Monitor System has a TCP/IP card that currently part of a network reachable by DC box.
• The Tank Monitor System has an available RS-232 serial communications port not in use.

To enable ATG for DC-401 using TCP/IP or RS-232:

1. Enable ATG in CStoreOffice® for initial use.
2. Connect to DC-401.
3. Configure ATG using the DC-401 Installation Wizard.

Enabling ATG in CStoreOffice® for Initial Use

For enabling CStoreOffice® to begin polling for readings, follow the instructions listed in the Configuring ATG in CStoreOffice® section.

Be sure to leave all the settings default when using any DC Box to interface with the Tank Monitoring System.
