Veeder-Root TSN: Network Security Reminder

Veeder-Root Takes Network Security VERY Seriously!

OVERVIEW

Offering the best in class tools to prevent cyberattacks, Veeder-Root Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUSrecommends network ‘best practices’ such as:

  • Utilize separate network ports on the TLS-450PLUS ATG
  • Configure network routing tables
  • Changing network port numbers
  • Add a serial command security code to harden remote access and prevent un-authorized access to Veeder-Root ATG

TIP: Veeder-Root recommends that ASCs review and implement these ‘best practices’ for network security with their customers, when installing a new console or setting up a network port.

IMPORTANTCustomers on older TLS-350 ATG systems should consider either upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS or utilizing extra network firewall equipment.

TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series ATGs

The TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series ATGs come with security features allowing for greater protection and control of access to the ATG than legacy consoles. Features such as configurable user access and segmented network ports help ensure both network and front-panel security. To learn more about these features and how to set them up, please see our TLS4 Series Security Settings Technical Support Notice.

TLS-3XX Series ATGs

Please refer to the following manuals for security setup instructions:

Due to supply chain issues, Veeder-Root will be limiting the number of USB adapters they ship with iButton software upgrades for the TLS-4xx platform.  Until supply chain issues have been resolved, individual iButtons will need to be swapped in and out of the USB adapters manually in order to upgrade TLS-4xx consoles with software enhancements.

GVR Passport: Updates, Tips & Tricks!

Gilbarco Passport POS Soon to Support Fuel Prices Over $9.999

With the rising fuel prices, there have been some concerns about the ability to sell fuel at prices above $9.999 per unit. Gilbarco has heard these concerns and is addressing them by developing a feature within Passport POS to enable fuel prices above $9.999 per unit. We have received the suggestion to sell fuel at half-gallon or quarter-gallon increments; however, this is not allowed in most states as it tends to mislead consumers who have come to expect the displayed prices to be for whole gallons. So Gilbarco is working towards a more universally accepted solution that will keep whole-gallon units and allow a price $10 or higher.

The solution keeps a 4-digit price, but shifts the decimal place (i.e. $X.XXX becomes $XX.XX), enabling prices at $10 per unit or higher. As a consequence, fuel must be sold to the penny rather than to the tenth of a cent.

Implementation of this solution works as follows:

  • Changing to the two-decimal price format will be a toggle option within Passport’s Manager Workstation.
  • The format change must be applied to every fuel grade and every dispenser at the site. If the two-decimal format is selected, then all prices will be limited to two decimal places even if the price is below $10 per unit.
  • To comply with Weights & Measures, all dispenser price displays should be changed to reflect the two-decimal prices. Changing the price format on the dispenser must be done on the dispenser itself, it cannot be done through Passport. Depending on the dispenser hardware, a technician may be required to configure the dispenser price display.
    • On Gilbarco Veeder-Root dispensers, this change cannot be completed by the Insite360 Forecourt remote management tool.
  • To comply with Weights & Measures, all price signs should be changed to reflect the two-decimal prices. Most electronic price signs are not capable of receiving and displaying the two-decimal format. To avoid automatically pushing a price that will be incorrectly displayed on the price sign, Passport will revert to a manual price sign configuration when configured for a two-decimal price format.

Note, this feature is only necessary for sites selling fuel at $10 or more. Sites selling all fuel grades below $10 per unit will experience no change. This feature is planned to be released as a maintenance pack for Passport versions 21.02 and 21.03. Release is targeted for the end of September 2022, pending network approval.

End Of Life Notification: Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUS Console 08600×1-301 Part Numbers

OverviewVeeder-Root TLS-450PLUS Automatic Tank Gauge

Veeder-Root is committed to providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. As the world leader in the development of fueling system technology, we view product End of Life (EOL) as part of the natural cycle that drives technology evolution.

TLS-450PLUS consoles with 08600×1-301 part numbers that feature a Dual RS-232 connection are being phased out. The last time buy date will be November 30, 2022, or while supplies last.

Veeder-Root has decided to standardize on the TLS-450PLUS consoles with 08600×1-302 part numbers. The -302 consoles feature a Dual RS-232/RS-485 port and are positioned in the market to better address evolving port connection requirements. Options are available to add supplemental RS-232 Interface Modules if necessary.

Transition Details

We recommend customers transition to the Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUS console with the Dual RS-232/RS-485 port as soon as possible.

If a second RS-232 connection is needed, we recommend ordering an additional RS-232 Communication Card. The following Module Compatibility can be found in the TLS Price Book, which helps customers determine which slot to put the communication card in.
TLS-450PLUS Module Compatibility1 When placed in Slot 3, only Position 2 will be functional
2 EDIM can be programmed in any position with an RS-232 port – up to 3 per system
3 Can be combined with EDIM
4 Console ship standard with dual RS-232 or Dual RS-232/RS-485 card in Slot 1
