1. Does your AS2 implementation support multiple AS2 Ids?

NO. Please note, the use of a single AS2 ID is only possible for EDI
files. Please answer question 1.1
1.1 Do you plan to exchange EDI files only (EDI820, EDI997, etc,)?
YES, Only EDI files will be exchanged with the Bank
NO, I plan to exchange EDI and Non-EDI files (flat files, e.g. EFT
payroll). Please review Important message below.
IMPORTANT: If you plan to exchange Non-EDI files (ASCII flat files), e.g. EFT or Direct Cheque, we require the use of multiple AS2 Ids (one per file type). E.g. One AS2 ID will be assigned to EFT files, another AS2 ID for Direct Cheque files and so on.
Note: If you prefer to use a combination of a single AS2 ID for EDI files and separate AS2 IDs for non-EDI files, BMO can support it. Additional charges may apply.
