2 OPW Ethernet IP Authorization Gateway Installation
Prior to the installation of the OPW Ethernet IP Authorization Gateway, an initial site assessment, gateway requirements and
network connectively must be established. Next, follow the installation procedure for connecting the OPW Ethernet IP
Authorization Gateway.
IMPORTANT: Never press the reset button on the Cellular Gateway. This will erase the program and it will have to be
reloaded. There is a fee associated with reloading the program.
NOTE: If you have any questions, contact the OPW Help Desk at 1-877-679-8324 and select Option 1 for Fuel
Management Systems. Tell the Help Desk technician that you are installing an OPW Cellular IP Connection and provide a
description of the problem you are experiencing.
2.1 Site Assessment for the OPW Ethernet IP Authorization Gateway
For NBS (20-6001), Paymentech (20-6002), or Buypass (20-6003) network users, prior to installation, the site assessment must
be completed and the OPW Site Request Form must be faxed to the number at the top of the form, after which network users
must activate their SSL NOC Account, which will be sent to the site owner via email.
NOTE: There is a monthly charge for an SSL NOC Account.
IMPORTANT: The OPW Site Request Form must be submitted 48 hours prior to your planned install time.
Prior to installing any version of the Ethernet IP Gateway, collect the following information or provide this document to the IT

•Is the LAN (internal) network at the site DHCP-enabled (dynamic)? Yes No
•Are there any outbound port-blocking rules in place on the network? Yes No
NOTE: If the network is DHCP-enabled and no outbound ports are blocked, skip to Section 2.2, Requirements for the OPW
Ethernet IP Authorization Gateway. Otherwise, proceed with the information as follows below.
NOTE: The following ports must be open for outbound traffic (53, 80, 123, 443, 10001, 10002).
IMPORTANT: If the site chooses to use the Inbound Communications option, then a Static IP Address must be programmed
into the unit regardless of whether the LAN is dynamic or static, and the below information must be provided.
•If this is a Static IP LAN environment, what IP Address can be used:
________ : ________ : ________ : ________
•What is the Subnet Mask: ________ : ________ : ________ : ________
•What is the Default Gateway: ________ : ________ : ________ : ________
