A transmission configuration implements a specific transmission protocol, which allows the delivery of a transaction to a specific payment system or financial institution.
Each transmission protocol has parameters that require values. The values defined for the parameters comprise the transmission configuration for that transmission protocol. For example, the payment system, PaymentTech, may require a Socket IP Address of X and a Socket Port Number of Y. Together, X and Y represent Transmission Configuration A for a given transmission protocol.
The purpose of setting up transmission configurations in the Create Transmission Configuration setup page is to enable electronic connectivity with payment systems by specifying parameter values.
