Communication and Connectivity

Communication Options

Data subscriptions, ISR/TCN, IDEC, and FROP require the ability to complete bulk data transfers. ATPCO supports the following products for bulk data transfers:

• IBM's Enterprise Extender (EE), which provides SNA connectivity over an IP link
• Inbound to ATPCO server: TCP/IP’s secure FTP (Either FTPS or SFTP)
• Outbound from ATPCO server: TCP/IP’s FTP (Either standard FTP, FTPS, or SFTP)

All other applications require IBM 3270 terminal access. If you do not have 3270 emulation software, you can use FareManager eConnect via any of the TCP/IP-based connectivity options listed below. With FareManager Web, you can access the FareManager Rules system, GFS, PIPPS, Database Summary, and Invoice Online using the TCP/IP-based connectivity option below.

Connectivity Options

For TCP/IP connections, you can provide your own leased line to ATPCO, or connect via the Internet.
