Introduction

Scope​

Communication via AS2 is primarily intended for EDI brokers and facilitates real-time transmission of documents and status messages. To initiate this connection, you should request our AS2 credentials from the support team.

Technical details​

  • Active MDN signature
  • 3DES encryption algorithm
  • SHA1 signature algorithm
  • Asynchronous MDN
  • Supported formats: CIUS-PT, CEF Telecom

Testing phase​

After credentials and certificates are configured, a simple connection test between partners is usually performed using a text file.

After this phase, real documents are sent in the testing environment, moving to production once the documents and status messages have been validated. If the broker is already integrated with multiple customers, each new customer can move to production immediately after the connection request.

Formats and states​

All documents received by ilink are subject to CIUS-PT validation. See online validator.

Note: To include a PDF file in the invoice, it must be inserted as a base64-encoded string inside the element AdditionalDocumentReference > Attachment > EmbeddedDocumentBinaryObject. See example.
