Virtual Private Networking (VPN) 

Summary

Mastercom's  new version of the BrokerEDI/PC E-Mail/EDI Engine (5.3) supports the Virtual Private Networking (VPN) that Insurance Information Centre of Canada (IICC) will be offering the industry as an enhancement to the current CSIOnet service.  

This Network will be known as InsureNet and will be transparent to the current CSIOnet membership.  Brokers willing to embrace the new network will benefit from enhanced services and reduction in cost.  Registration for this network is done through the IICC/CSIO registration desk.  

FACT

1)  Please call the CSIO Help Desk at (800) 463-2746 and ask for VPN to be added to your account.
(Estimated $20.00 per month)


2)  For this VPN support, the BrokerEDI/PC E-Mail/EDI Engine must be run from a:

Windows 2000 Workstation/Server
or
Windows XP Professional (Windows XP Home is not supported)


However since the BrokerEDI/PC E-Mail/EDI Engine software is installed on the same server as Power Broker, that server's operating system can be any version of 32 bit Windows.

3)  When setting up your Windows 2000 VPN connection, please ensure that you set your VPN connection in the Windows VPN Properties to disconnect after a few minutes or so.  If you stay logged onto the server for a long period of time, it's likely that you will get a large invoice for time spent on the server at the end of the month.

For detailed instructions, please visit the
Mastercom website and download/print/review the Guide6x.doc.

For quick instructions of the VPN Setup, click the link that would match the operating system of the machine that is going to do the EDI, Send and Receive and complete.
