-----Original Message----- From: AESDirect Support [mailto:boc-support@tradegate2000.com] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 8:42 AM To: Support Subject: AESDirect VPN Service Announcement for Monday 15th
AESDirect Service Enhancement - AESDirect VPN Effective Monday December 15th, the AESDirect Service was upgraded to include a new type of service connection, AESDirect VPN. The AESDirect VPN level of service provides an Internet based Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to the AESDirect Service. This type of connection offers the ability to conduct a secure (encrypted), automated, two-way exchange of data between a filing companies company's own computers and the AESDirect Service. For companies that opt to use AESDirect VPN, AESDirect provides a free client-side software utility to establish and manage this connection. AESDirect VPN Service allows filers to electronically deliver AES submission transactions to AESDirect and allows AES responses to be delivered back to the filer in secure and automated computer-to-computer transaction. Using AESDirect VPN does not in any way remove any existing feature of AESDirect. AESDirect VPN continues to allow filers to deliver electronic shipment reports to AES via AESDirect. In addition, AESDirect VPN offers a frequently requested new feature, providing for AES responses to be returned to the filer in secure, automated computer-to-computer transaction. AESDirect VPN can be used by three types of AES filing companies, these are: (1) AESDirect Accounts using the WWW and WebLink Interactive Interfaces: Any AESDirect account can use AESDirect VPN to receive a direct secure download of AES responses (e-Responses) either instead of, as an alternative, or in addition to, receiving the AES responses by e-mail. (2) AESDirect Accounts using the AESDirect EDI Upload feature: Any AESDirect Account that is authorized for the EDI Upload feature may use AESDirect VPN to set-up establish any number of secured connections from and their own servers (computers) to AESDirect. This allows the AESDirect EDI feature and subsequent AES responses to be fully automated. The Census Bureau's AES Branch would like to thank Melco Group International for volunteering to test this particular feature of AESDirect VPN.(3) Companies filing (connecting) directly with U.S. Customs AES system: AESDirect VPN can be used as an alternative to or supplement to existing direct connections to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) AES mainframe. Thus, AESDirect VPN can back-up the existing dial-up, VAN, or direct leased line link to AES, even if they are the company is not registered for the full AESDirect Service. Additional information about AESDirect VPN is available at www.aesdirect.gov
