Controlling the Enabler Pump Server
Home > Support > FAQ > Controlling the Enabler Pump Server
The Enabler Pump Server is a Windows Service that communicates with The Enabler PCI card and the ActiveX controls to provide pump control. Most changes to Enabler configuration take effect automatically, but changing pump or tank gauge types requires the service to be restarted. Also, to upgrade pump driver DLLs or collect log files, you will need to shutdown the server and restart it afterwards.
The pump server is installed as a service named "Psrvr" and it runs c:\enabler\psrvr.exe.
The Pump Server can be restarted in the same way as any other Windows service:
- Windows NT :
- Control Panel - Services
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista :
- Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services
- Command prompt:
net stop psrvr
net start psrvr - New versions of Enabler Configuration include a button to restart the service.
Warning! Check that no deliveries are in progress before restarting the pump server. Many pumps will continue without problems, but some will stop, and remote limits could be overrun.
Windows 2000/XP/Vista Control Panel Services
Restarting Pump Server in Windows Vista
By default, the last two options (Command Prompt and Enabler Configuration) are not available for Windows Vista. Either the command line will display "Access Denied" or the Restart button will not be shown.
To allow these in Windows Vista, you must "Turn User Account Control" OFF. To do this, go to :
- Control Panel - User Accounts - Turn User Account Control On or Off
You may need to restart your Windows Vista afterwards to have the settings take effect.
