Mercury Administration: Mercury Connection Screen

From FloristWiki

If you are setting up your system to use the Internet to send and receive orders, the Mercury Connection screen allows you to enter your Internet account information. In previous releases of FTD Mercury, this information could be found in the Account and Host tabs of the Connection Settings option.

It is strongly suggested to use this option only with the assistance of the Mercury Technology Assistance Center.

You can configure the following settings on this screen:
