How You Test the Transmission Configuration

The transmission configuration setup is used to transmit outbound payment files, settlement batch files, and positive pay files to your payment system or financial institution. It's also used to pull funds capture acknowledgment files.

The setup captures various parameters, which may be different for different protocols. You can test your transmission configuration to confirm whether your setup of outbound and inbound transmission protocols is correct.

To confirm the accuracy of the setup, click the Test button on the Create or Edit Transmission Configuration page. The Test button is active only when the values associated with all the mandatory parameters are present. Typical transmission configuration parameters that are available to test include:

• Destination server URL

• Destination server IP address

• Destination server port number

• Remote file directory

• User credentials

Testing the transmission configuration setup includes reviewing return messages.

Reviewing Return Messages

The Test button action contacts the destination server with the specified parameters, which results in a return message. The return message is a combination of functional text and raw message text. This occurs so both functional and technical users can benefit from the message. For example, suppose the remote file directory is invalid. The return message is: Incorrect remote directory (IBY_Trans_Test_Remote_Dir_Fals).

The following table describes transmission configuration connection tests and test results with their associated return messages.
