Change ControlMAX reissue details
ControlMAX is a set of rules that can govern how and when a smart card may be used. ControlMAX is only available to smart card users.
Changing the ControlMAX reissue details does not affect the current ControlMAX settings but allows you to define what they should be set to the next time that the card is reissued (free of charge).
There are ten different ControlMAX rules, they are:
- Single drawing limit - the total amount of fuel that can be drawn in a single transaction
- Daily drawing limit - the total amount of fuel that can be drawn in a day
- Weekly drawing limit - the total amount of fuel that can be drawn in any 7 day period (the period begins on the day of the first drawing following the application of the rules)
- Max. transactions per day - the total number of seperate drawings than can be made in a day
- Max. transactions per week - the total number of seperate drawings than can be made in any 7 day period (the period begins on the day of the first drawing following the application of the rules)
- Max. incorrect PIN entries - the total number of allowed attempts† to enter a correct PIN
- PIN lockout duration - the duration in minutes between each incorrect attempt to enter a correct PIN
- Valid from time - the start time, entered in the format HH:MM:SS that drawings will be allowed from
- Valid to time - the end time, entered in the format HH:MM:SS that drawings will be allowed until
- This accounts cards can be used on - the days of the week that the card can be used
†A single attempt is a block of three tries. For example, a Max. incorrect PIN entries value of '3' will allow '9' seperate tries split into 3 blocks of 3. Each block of 3 tries is seperated by the PIN lockout duration.
Tips for using ControlMAX
- If you are using the daily drawing limit then you will also need to specify a single drawing limit
- If you are using any of the drawing limits then specifiying the number of transactions per day or week are not necessary
- Be aware that times must be entered in the format HH:MM:SS
- If you are using the time restrictions, you may want to give a small allowance either side for contingencies e.g. if your working hours were 09:00:00 to 17:00:00 then the limits could be set to 08:30:00 to 17:30:00 to allow early or late fillings
