Overview
Feature Description
Before starting, obtain the ORPAK AVI IP address from the ORPAK AVI technician.
The ORPAK AVI/RFID Fueling System allows a vehicle equipped with the FuelOmat Gold Vehicle Identification Unit (VIU) devices to obtain automatic payment authorization and purchase fuel.
The VIU data is obtained from the vehicle through a wireless connection to a Nozzle Reader (NR) or Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT) as shown below in the diagram. Next, the VIU data is transferred from these devices via wireless links to the Master Wireless Gateway Terminal (MWGT).
The Electronic Payment Server (EPS) periodically sends a status request to the Master WGT via a wired ethernet link. When the MWGT status indicates that VIU data is available, the EPS system will request this data, use it to gain payment approval and allow fuel to be dispensed.
ORPAK AVI/RFID Fueling System
VIU Transaction Flow
A VIU Transaction Flow is shown below. The interface between the MWGT and Verifone Commander is defined by the WGT SDK document. The interface between the Commander Forecourt Controller and VIPER is defined by the International Forecourt Standards Forum (IFSF) document.
Support Limitations
The ORPAK AVI/RFID Fueling feature supports the MWGT and additional WGT devices.
The ORPAK AVI/RFID Fueling feature supports only fleet payment types.
Since VIU track discretion data restricts the purchase to fuel only, there are no modifications to prevent the car wash prompt.
Current POP functionality is not altered.
EPS Loyalty is disabled unless it is selected at the Dispenser Card Reader (DCR) prior to an AVI/RFID fueling attempt. See the Appendix for additional detail.
For an explanation of how “Handle Up Calling”will operate in conjunction with the IFSF_AVI entry method, see the Appendix.

Using the ORPAK AVI/RFID
Normal Operation
Insert Nozzle
Insert the nozzle that has the RFID into the vehicle gas tank where the Opass RFID device is located.
Connection
The Opass RFID device mounted on the gas tank makes the connection to the RFID nozzle and approves the pump.
Select Grade
If equipped, the customer lifts the lever on the pump and selects the grade.
Dispense Fuel
The customer dispenses the fuel.
Complete Transaction
The customer hangs up the nozzle and completes the fuel transaction.
Print Receipt
A receipt is printed at the DCR.
Fueling Pause and Resume
If the VIU data becomes unavailable while fuel is approved for dispensing, Verifone Commander prevents fuel from being dispensed (Fueling Pause). During a Fueling Pause, Verifone Commander displays the “PUMP STOPPED” message at the DCR. If the dispenser handle is lowered during a Fueling Pause, Verifone Commander will terminate the transaction.
If fuel dispensing has been prevented (Fueling Pause) for an AVI/RFID transaction, Verifone Commander will prevent the cashier from reapproving the dispenser. There is a limitation in the Tokheim dispenser firmware where a stop command is ignored when it is received within three seconds after a start command is received. Verifone Commander performs a three second delay before issuing a stop command for the Tokheim system to prevent the cashier from reapproving the dispenser. This three second delay will also be observed for all Fueling Pauses with Tokheim dispensers.
