Basic Tab

The Basic tab contains the following fields:

Name: A user-defined name which identifies the AS2 server. This name should be descriptive enough so users can quickly identify this database server when prompted to choose from a list (for example, "AS2 Server in Atlanta"). The name cannot exceed 50 characters.
Description: A short paragraph that describes the AS2 server. The description is optional.
URL: This is the
URL
of the server that receives the messages. The URL syntax must be a valid server and location where [hostname] can be an IP Address or a Domain name and [portnumber] is the port on which the AS2 Server listens.
AS2 From ID: The AS2 From ID is the name or ID used by the sender (most commonly you are the sender). The ID is arbitrary, but if the receiving server filters by this ID, the ID's must match. The AS2 From ID is case sensitive, can be 1 to 128 ASCII printable characters in length, and may not contain whitespaces.
AS2 To ID: The AS2 To ID is the name or ID used by the recipient. The ID is arbitrary. The AS2 To ID is case sensitive, can be 1 to 128 ASCII printable characters in length, and may not contain whitespaces.
