T5 Transmission Types

T5 supports the following transmission types:

  • Email Transport—When you send data using the Email Transport, T5 automatically sends the file to the EDI Email address specified in your Send policy for the Trading Partner Agreement. Data that is received through this protocol is automatically placed into the Templar\receive folder.
  • File Interface Transport— When you send data using the File Interface Transport, T5 places the file containing the data in the folder specified in the Send policy of the Trading Partner Agreement. From the specified folder, you can then manually route the file to your Trading Partner. When you receive data sent using the File Interface Transport, you must manually put the file containing the data into a T5 folder or an EDI translator application, or enter a run command to move the file.
  • TCP Direct Transport— When you send data using the TCP Direct Transport, T5 automatically sends the data to the remote host name and port number specified in the Send policy of the Trading Partner Agreement. The port number you specify in the TCP Direct Transport must match the port number your partner enters in the TCP Direct Receive settings in Server Preferences.
  • Web Interface Transport— When you send data using the Web Interface Transport, T5 automatically sends the data to the Web server URL address specified in the Send policy of the Trading Partner Agreement. When you receive data sent using the Web Interface Transport, you can use a CGI script to prepare the data for your T5 system or EDI translator; copy and name files; and send a status reply to your partner.
  • FTP Transport— When you send data using the FTP Transport, T5 automatically sends the data to the port number and folder on the FTP server specified in the Send policy of the Trading Partner Agreement. When you receive data sent using the FTP Transport, you need to route the file to your Templar\receive folder where T5 processes it. (When the data file is sent without a security envelope or a MIME header, you can route it directly to the EDI translator.)
  • TCP with SSL Transport— When you send data using the TCP with SSL Transport, T5 automatically sends the data to the remote host name and port number specified in the Send policy of the Trading Partner Agreement. The port number you specify in the TCP with SSL transport must match the port number your partner enters in the TCP Receive settings in Server Preferences.
