Transmission Configurations

A transmission configuration is a group of specific transmission details. A transmission configuration defines a value for each parameter in a transmission protocol. The values in a transmission configuration are specific to one payment system or financial institution.

For example, suppose a transmission protocol requires parameter values for a Socket IP Address and a Socket Port Number. Your payment system that accepts that protocol will give you the values that it expects to receive for these parameters. You enter the applicable values in the Socket IP Address and Socket Port Number fields for the transmission configuration. The transmission configuration is then assigned to the payment system within the funds capture process profile for funds capture transactions or within the payment process profile for disbursement transactions.

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following to transmit files to your payment system by setting up transmission configurations:

  • Offering: Financials

  • Functional Area: Payments

  • Task: Manage Transmission Configurations

On the Manage Transmission Configurations page, click Create. The Create Transmission Configuration page appears.
