Schedule regular network calls to your value added network (VAN) to access your mailbox.
Before you can schedule network calls, you need to create a network configuration profile.
To schedule EDI network calls:
From the System > System Programming > EDI > EDI Maintenance menu, select EDI Network Call Scheduling to display the EDI Network Call Scheduling screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Network field, press F10 and select your VAN.
The Last Call field displays the day and time of the last network connection attempt.
Use the Network Config hot key to create a network configuration profile for your network provider, if it hasn't already been done.
Use the Schedule Call hot key to display the Phantom Scheduler screen and set up a schedule for making network connections to send or receive documents.
Note: When trying to connect to one of the networks, there is no guarantee for a successful connection due to issues with modems, telephone lines, and a network that can be very active. We recommend setting up a schedule to make periodic attempts throughout the day.
Use the following hot keys as needed for troubleshooting purposes:
