2 Track fluids accurately and efficiently with AFCS Enterprise Alemite s versatile AFCS Enterprise can adapt to any vehicle service location. Based on an Ethernet network, the system enables fast, easy and 100 percent reliable communication, which is essential when the control system interfaces with a dealer management system. Network connections are easy; simply connect the controller with a Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet cable. For a stand-alone system, the AFCS Enterprise controller can be wired on its own network; separate from the site s existing network. This facilitates simple deployment and avoids any security concerns. For a more advanced setup, each AFCS Enterprise controller can be connected over an existing network. The controller has a unique MAC address and IP address that allow the unit to route information over an existing network to the PC running the system. The unit comes preconfigured with a static IP address but can be used in dynamic IP mode if running a DHCP server. This method can save on wiring costs and can help a site maintain complete control of its components.
