Dear Valued UnitechEDI Client,
As you may already have heard, ICC (Easylink) VAN will change its FTP and Document Management Tool web addresses on May 28^th , 2010.
We have already begun the process of updating our software to put the new addresses (vanftp.easylink.com for FTP, and https://vanclient01.easylink.com for the DMT) into use before the May 28^th deadline.In order to assure continued service beyond May 28, please conduct the following important tests at your earliest convenience:
*_Update Software_* ? Use the Update Software button on the Dashboard to bring in the latest UnitechEDI software. Please remember that if you run your Dashboard from a drive other than C:, you must type in your drive letter when prompted during the update as selecting the drive from the list does not always work correctly.
*_Test FTP Connection_* ? Select ?Test? from the Other Options > Categories dropdown box on the right side of the Dashboard. Double-click the last selection on the list: ?Test ICC DNS?. This will bring up a window asking for a 3-char trading partner code. Pick any code from the list (no files will be moved) and press Enter. Answer ?Y? to both ?Are you sure?? and ?Connect to ICC.NET Network??. The return message should say ?Testing using Open vanftp.easylink.com in progress ? Please wait?.?
It should then say < Successful Test > indicating that you have reached the new address correctly.
*_Test Document Management Tool_* ? Click on the ?Track ICC Documents?
button on the Dashboard. This should open the standard ICC web applet interface page. Sign on using your normal userID and password. If access is granted, all is well. If you do not know your password, or if you do not use this feature, you do not need to run this test. It will not affect your usual EDI processing.
If you get any other result on either test, show this note and the result to your Network staff so that they can make the appropriate firewall or anti-virus changes if needed, and inform us of the problem by using the ?Request Support? button on the Dashboard.
Thank you,
