The first step in setting up communications is to define the communications channels that will be used with a system, as discussed in Chapter 2.
In this chapter, you enter any additional information that EC Gateway needs to use the communications type selected. The last step in setting up communications is to record the transmission scripts that will be executed during a communications session.
In a later chapter, you will learn how to create processes and set up a scheduler to implement hands-off, unattended transfer and processing of your data. Upon running e-FTP, notice that it has three tabs: Methods, Comm Channels, and Transfer Logs.
