VisionWeb communications can be done via VPN or via FTP.  The newer FTP method is the easiest to setup.  

The method used is dependent on the new "Use FTP as communication method" flag.


Now that we have both a VPN and an FTP method, we can test L2L transmissions between the two.   This is done using the Vision web supplier ID (see below) in the "Remote Lab" maintenance screen.

To send orders to the FTP site, set the supplier Id to "3702".   To send orders to the VPN (MQ series) use supplier ID "3701" (this is our original lab Id with Visionweb.   When using the lab-to-lab transmission, set the lab ID to the one you want the orders to go to (either FTP or VPN).
