Common Types of Site Networking Schemes
Introduction
Common Types of Site Networking Schemes
Several details of the networking configuration (namely
External Interface IPs, Default
Gateway IP, etc.
) depend on the site type and its networking scheme. For this reason,
identifying the characteristics of the network at every site is a requirement for a correct
installation and configuration of the devices.
Sites Using Customer-defined Networking Schemes
In some sites, the customer dictates the IP addresses to be used for the devices on the forecourt
(Omnia) and in the backroom (BRCM2 or BRCM2.1, Applause Media System Site Server,
and so on). This is typically the case of customers who run a sophisticated network. In these
cases, it is required to comply with the customer’s networking schemes.
When the networking scheme is predefined by the customer, the customer site IT department
should do the following:
• Complete the Configuration Worksheet in
“Appendix A: Site Network Survey”
on
.
• Provide sufficient number of IP addresses to cover all the fueling positions, the BRCM2 or
BRCM2.1, and the Applause Media System Site Server (if present).
Note: The recommended CRIND External IP addresses is 10.5.55.XX, which is as per the
default IP scheme.
• Locate the router to be used to connect the BRCM2 or BRCM2.1.
• Grant access to the Internet and DNS servers.
Sites Using Default Networking Scheme
These sites use a pre-determined IP range (10.5.55.XX) to connect the dispensers. They can be
further divided into two categories:
•
Applause Media System is not installed at the site
This will require additional backroom hardware, including BRCM2 or BRCM2.1, router,
CAT5 cables, etc.
•
Applause Media System is installed at the site
These sites may be configured for dual Network Interface Card (NIC) on the Applause
Site Server. This will require the use of an additional router to reconfigure the Applause
Site Server to a single NIC setup.
Required Tools, Equipment, Parts, and Software
The following tools and equipment are necessary to accomplish all steps of the software
configuration (Omnia, CRIND, and pump):
• Laptop computer running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 operating systems and
Chrome
™
web browser
• CAT5 or CAT6 cable to connect the laptop to the Omnia Board
• RS-232 Serial cable to upgrade the pump software
• Pre-installation checklist (refer to
on
)
