Configuring Acenet for Downloading Invoice and Hotsheets Data
Follow the instructions below to configure your computer for manually downloading your invoice and hotsheets files from Ace’s computer system.
In order to complete this installation, you will need a computer with an Internet connection, your store number, your Acenet user name and password, and your Acenet firewall ID and password. Contact Ace Electronics Services if you do not have this information.
- Go to the Acenet web site, located at http:\\www.acehardware-acenet.com. Login with your store number, user name, and password.
- Click on Utilities > Software Maintenance.
- From the list of files, select FTP Components and click Continue.
- Click the link to download the required FTP components. After the download is complete, run the program to install the files.
- After the FTP components are installed, go back to Acenet, and click Utilities > Software Maintenance.
- From the list of files, select Reset Firewall ID (for FTP purposes only) and click Continue.
- Click the link to download the program. After the download is complete, run the program. You will be prompted for your firewall ID and password.
- After you have reset your firewall ID and password, go back to Acenet, and click Utilities > File Transfer Options > File Transfer Setup.
- If you have a Dial-Up Internet connection:
Fill in your User ID and Password, and then select the dial-up network profile you use to connect to the Internet from the drop down menu.
If you have a Broadband Internet connection:
Fill in the User ID and Password files with “N/A”, and leave the dial-up network profile blank.
- For the two directories, input the path that you want the files to download to (ie. “C:\downloads\invoices”). Remember this path as you will need it later when you run the Receiving Wizard.
- Click Activate to enable the PC for downloading data.
Your computer is now ready to download data from Acenet.
