1.
How can I check connectivity to FedEx servers?
Point your browser to the following URL,
https://gatewaybeta.fedex.com/us/about/index.html
You should see the About FedEx web page.
2. What is required from my proxy server?
If a proxy server is used to connect to the Internet,
the address and port number of that server are required.
Without this information, FedEx Ship Manager API
cannot communicate outside of your network. During
your installation, you will be asked for your proxy
host and proxy port. You may need to check with
your system administrator.
3. Are the transactions secure?
FedEx Ship Manager API applications use
SSL encryption technology to help secure your Internet
transactions.
4. How are the transactions formatted?
The FedEx tagged transaction set appears as a series
of comma-delimited fields using numeric indicators
that precede each data element.
For example: 0,"402"29,"79382022020"50,"US"24,"19980711"99,””
This is a FedEx tagged request to perform
a track transaction (402) to track shipment number
79382022020, which was shipped to the U.S. on July
11,1998. Our server would return the information
in a similar format to be read by the application.
You will find complete transaction details in the
Transaction Guide.
You can use the FedEx Ship Manager API Parser or
the Java Transaction Classes to build these tagged
requests and to parse the tagged responses.

8. Can I use a dial-up connection with the API?
