Basic Controls
As described in the image above, the ATG Terminal Connect has 4 basic components:
Connect / Disconnect - To begin using the emulator, click “Connect.” When you're finished, do not forget to disconnect before leaving the page.
Command String Entry Line & Response Block - Enter any Veeder Root “I” command and click “Send” to receive a response in the response block below. The response can be saved to your computer using the “Export To File” button.
Command String Library - A drop-down menu containing frequently used commands for quick access.
Batch Command String Library - A drop-down menu containing a stored list of commands that can be run all at once.
Send a Command
To send a command, first click the Connect button at the top right corner.
Type the “I” command into the Command String Entry field, then click Send.
The response from the ATG will appear below. You may download it to your computer by pressing the Export To File button.
When you're finished, click Disconnect.
Command String Library
The Command String Library can be configured to store commands for later use.
Add New Command to Library
Tip: Following these instructions to add a new command to the Command String Library will only affect the drop-down menu for your individual login.
To manage the Command String Library for other users in your organization, you will need access to the ATG Terminal Connect Configuration page.
To add a command to the Command String Library, type the “I” command in the Command String Entry field, but don't click send.
Instead, in the "Command String Library” section, click Add New.
A window will appear prompting you to enter the Command Name. This is the name that will be saved in the drop-down menu when you click Save.
Send Command from Library
Click the Select Command drop-down menu and select the desired command.
If you have checked the “Send Command on Select” option, simply selecting the command will automatically send it, and you will see the response above.
Tip: We highly recommend checking “Send Command On Select" for ease of use, especially if you are using a mobile phone or tablet!
If “Send Command On Select” is unchecked, you will need to manually click the Send button at the top right to send the command.
You may also click Update Selected or Delete Selected to manage the Command String Library drop-down list.
Tip: “Update Selected” does not permit changes to the Command Name. If you would like to change the name, we recommend using “Delete Selected” and re-creating it with “Add New.”
If you want to keep the name but change the command:
- Select the drop-down option
- Update the command in the Command String Entry Field
- Click Update Selected.
Batch of Command Strings Library
The Batch of Command Strings Library can be configured to contain selections of commands to be run all at once.
Add a New Batch to the Library
Tip: Following these instructions to add a new batch of commands will only affect the drop-down menu for your individual login.
To manage the Batch of Command Strings Library for other users in your organization, you will need access to the ATG Terminal Connect Configuration page.
To add a new batch, click Add New.
In the dialogue box, enter the Batch Name that will be added to the drop-down menu.
Use commas to separate the commands that will be run when this batch is selected. For example, I90200, I20100, I20200.
Then, click Save.
Run a Batch from the Library
To run a batch of commands, select the batch from the drop-down menu. Then, click Run Selected.
In the response block above, you will see responses for each command in the batch appear in succession as the commands are sent. When the process is complete, the response will conclude with a timestamp and the name of the batch that was run.
Command Tips
Franklin Fueling Command Tips
All native commands start with ^A and end with ^C
- ^A is inserted by inserted when using Terminal Connect
- ^C can be inserted if you select the checkbox in Terminal Connect
All commands need a checksum
- Eg. "1800" command for all tank inventory ends up as
1800BEC2- Full telnet command becomes
<Ctrl-A> 1800BEC2 <Ctrl-C>
- Full telnet command becomes
Veeder Root Command Tips
All commands whether 250 or 350 or 4xx start with a ^A character.
- This is inserted by default when using Terminal Connect
"I" commands
- All I commands can be issued without fear of change
"S" commands
- S Commands are issued to change the programming, which can risk causing regulatory compliance failures
- Please coordinate with Titan Cloud before running an S command to get approval from an ATG-certified software engineer.
Upper vs lower case "I" and "S"
- Upper case
IorSreturns data in Display Format - Lower case returns in a computer-readable format
Security code
- If enabled on ATG, requires the input to be
^AxxxxxxIyyyyywhere x=code y=command
