Note: It's important to make sure the site has a back-office computer. Follow the guide exactly.

Step 1- Enable BackOffice on Passport:

From the POS screen Select More and then Tools you will need the merchant to enter their operator ID.

Click on the manager station, you may need to enter the operator ID again to access it.

Next go to Setup then Store as shown below.

Select BackOffice Folder

Select Back Office Interface

Make sure under the Documents Tab the interface format is the most recent version. Currently v3.4 at the time of the creation of this guide. Both the Store Close and Shift Close columns should be blank.

Make Sure Generation Options has the following checked.

You may skip the Polling Options tab as it should all be completely blank. Go to Import options and make sure it looks like the following.

Great! you have enabled the back office on the Gilbarco Passport. Please note that if for any reason in the future, the merchant has their passport reset or updated it will disable these back office configurations and it will need to be reconfigured.

Step 2 - Export data from Passport POS system:

Plug the USB flash drive into any USB Port on the bottom of your main passport station. If its a latest Touch Screen, connect directly to the Screen's USB Port.

Look for Extraction Tool

Next make sure Export Data is selected then click next.

Press Select All and all the boxes will be checked then select Next.

It will normally be the E: Drive

Now it will extract the data. It can take a few minutes to complete.

Once its complete, press exit and remove the USB drive. You can then send the file to us at [email protected], With a note of if the site's Gas pricing has a price difference in cash or credit or if it's just one price, each site is different. Our Internal Support Team or Tier 2 can Import the file to the back office account.

Step 3- Getting Connected to the Gilbarco Passport:

As the note mentioned above, the computer needs to be on the same network and the best way is to have it connected from the computer to the MNSP with a ethernet cable. MNSP can be a Cybera, Mako, Fortigate, Cisco Router, etc. Also we will need to call your MNSP to see which port the ethernet needs to go in. (Mako is usually port 3.)

Here are directions of what to do next once the connection is done:

Step 1: On your Back Office PC, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Click on Change Adapter Settings

Step 2: Right click on the Ethernet Adapter network and click on properties

Note: In the Adapter Settings screen, there are a list of networks, you should see your Ethernet Adapter plugged in

Step 3: On the Properties window, select option Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click on properties

Step 4: On the new Properties window select the option labeled as "Use the following IP address", and type the following information:

Cybera:

IP address: 10.96.10.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 10.96.10.1

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

If not, then it will be whatever Cybera tells you it is.

Mako/Sunoco Only:

IP address: 192.168.87.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.87.1

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

Mako/Any Other Brand:

IP address: 192.168.13.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.13.1

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

Fortigate Normal (Non-Sunoco/Philip 66):

IP address: 172.28.214.226

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248

Default Gateway: 172.28.214.225

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

Fortigate Chevron

IP address: 172.29.28.38

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.48

Default Gateway: 172.29.28.33

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

If these ip addresses don't work then the MNSP will need to be called to either open the port for backoffice or get what the ip address is for that site.

Note: When done, click OK and close the windows.

STEP 4: MAP NETWORK DRIVE AND ACQUIRE VCD REQUEST FILE

ONLY WHEN THE CONNECTION IS ESTABLISHED AND THE BACK OFFICE IS ENABLED CAN WE CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP, IF THE MNSP GAVE YOU THE CORRECT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAP THE NETWORK DRIVE. WE MAP THE NETWORK DRIVE ON THEIR COMPUTER TO START RECEIVING TRANSACTION FILES AND UPLOAD TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE PASSPORT POS.

Click on Windows Start Button > Computer > (For Windows 10 users: search “File Explorer” to get the correct window open) right click on Network option on the left side of the new window and select "Map Network Drive"

: On the "Map Network Drive" window enter the following:

· Select the Drive as Z (if Z is taken, any other letter will work)

· Enter the path name under the folder option: \\10.5.48.2\XMLGateway

When done, click on Finish to try to connect to the folder

Note: May need to contact MNSP for assistance in the correct port/static route/site controller IP.

Step 7: Enter credentials when prompted:

· Username: BackOffice (capital B and capital O)

· Password: BackOffice (capital B and capital O)

Select the box, remember credentials to prevent losing the folder sharing, click OK when done and you should see a list of folders that are being shared with the Passport POS.

Step 5 - Download the Petro Outlet Connector Software:

Click on Profile Icon

Click on your profile icon (This is located in the top right-hand corner)

Click on Settings


Select Settings from the drop-down menu

Go to options and then setup. Once there switch it to Gilbarco Passport.

With the token you got in the previous step, paste it on Account Access Key.

Next under Site Controller IP Address, you will put 10.5.48.2 and then hit Save.

In a few seconds it will connect and say all systems online.

Also make sure your sleep settings are set to Never. After that, you're good to go!

LEGACY SETUP

If there are connection issues with setup, the old legacy way can be done to establish the connection.

Create a new local admin account and name it PETRO_OUTLET and make the password BackOffice.

Once the account is created, map the network drive on your computer to start receiving and share files with the Passport POS. Click on Windows Start Button > Computer > (For Windows 10 users: search “File Explorer” to get the correct window open) right click on Network option on the left side of the new window and select "Map Network Drive"

Step 6: On the "Map Network Drive" window enter the following:

· Select the Drive as Z (if Z is taken, any other letter will work)

· Enter the path name under the folder option: \\10.5.48.2\XMLGateway

When done, click on Finish to try to connect to the folder

Note: Contact the Gilbarco Help Desk and have them enable the folder sharing for Back Office on your computer, if you get a message "Windows cannot access path", this means your Passport router settings have not been configured properly and there is an IP conflict.

Step 7: Enter credentials when prompted:

· Username: BackOffice (capital B and capital O)

· Password: BackOffice (capital B and capital O)

Note: Select the box, remember credentials to prevent losing the folder sharing, click OK when done and you should see a list of folders that are being shared with the Passport POS.

After the Z drive is mapped, open up the Services and locate the Petro Outlet Connector Service. Right-click on the service and select properties.

Once inside the properties menu, select the Log On tab. Inside the Log On tab select "This Account:" Select the Browse option and under "Enter the object name to select" type in PETRO_OUTLET and then select Check Names to properly link the PETRO_OUTLET back office account. Be sure you put in the log in password BackOffice twice to confirm.

Once this is done, log back into the main account of the computer and open up the connector. Inside the connector set the Legacy path as \\10.5.48.2\XMLGateway. Select save and if the Legacy setup was done correctly, the connection should go through.
