End Point – Use the end point that your partner give you. In our example it’s http://localhost:63233/as2

Response Timeout (sec) – This timeout is used during the initial connection to your partners side. It may need to be increased if set too low.

SSL – defaults to None. If you are to set up SSL with a partner this is where you would do it…FYI. In our example we are using the default of None.

Now we need to point to the certificate that you recently checked in from your partner.

Click ‘Configure Certificates’ next to Exchange Certificate.

This will open a pop up window that displays all your Trusted Certificates.

Highlight the certificate you want to use under the Available side and click the right arrow -> to move it to the Certificates Used side.

Repeat the above steps for the Signing Certificate as well.

Check MDN Receipt if you are planning on passing MDN’s to your partner. In our example, we are.
