AS2 Gateway for X.400 messages
The Telekom's AS2 gateway provides a simple and efficient way to reach an unlimited number of X.400 subscribers via an AS2 connection. X.400 messages can be sent and received without the need for a direct X.400 connection. The Telekom's AS2 gateway converts pure AS2 messages into the X.400 format and redirects them.
In order to set up a communication relationship with an X.400 partner, the data required for conversion into the X.400 network must be recorded in addition to the already described setup of an AS2 connection on your system.
This article describes the procedure for using the gateway service.
Please note that the MDN option *ASYNCH should be used when sending to the Telekom AS2 Gateway.
Otherwise (with *SYNCH) you may not receive the feedback about possible errors in the conversion and delivery of the message in the X.400 box of the partner.
