iinet / The Industry File Transfer Hub Instead of managing a costly and complex network infrastructure with different business partners, the iinet users will have to manage only one connection to exchange their data files with their business partners. 5
iinet / The Industry File Transfer Hub The Industry Information Network (iinet) is a universal electronic data exchange and data distribution service that enables industry partners to communicate time sensitive information in a secure, reliable and cost-effective environment with multi-connectivity options in order to facilitate and streamline the data file delivery of each iinet user. 6
iinet / Connectivity iinet Online Access A manual browser-based interface solution accessible via the Internet using SSL (Secure Socket Layer encryption). 7
iinet / Connectivity iinet Automated Connectivity iinet is offering several secure interactive and automated file transfer interfaces for iinet users. SFTP SFTP/FTP over VPN APISec 8
iinet / Functionalities & Services File Renaming Helps the iinet users to streamline their file processing by using their own file naming convention for the files sent and received. Copy & Post Tracking & Auditing Tools File Archive File Re-Push Auto-TDF Helps to avoid delays, re-routing issues when sending copies to multiple locations. This removes the need to re-transmit the files. Provides a full tracking, auditing and controls to ensure timely file delivery. Besides the online retention policy of 2 months, iinet is providing to its clients a file archiving facilities allowing to store and retrieve the submitted and received files. The system is able to re-push the concerned file to its recipient user until the delivery is confirmed. Simplifies the file submission between two recipient accounts or between one to many recipients. 9

SIS / iinet Support Scope To support the implementation and the streamlining of the data flow for SIS, iinet is including to the SIS functionalities the following services: iinet account dedicated for SIS data file transfer Data File transfer between each SIS member and the SIS System Web Interface (iinet Online) with a full Tracking and Monitoring Tool Online Data File retention of 2 months Automation activation of the iinet account dedicated for SIS when using the existing iinet automated connectivity A fully dedicated iinet Care support 11
SIS / iinet Implementation Process The iinet accounts implementation will cover all the business areas of SIS with 2 possible options: The online Access implementation (implementation by default). The Automated Access implementation (optional implementation). To start the iinet implementation process, the SIS participant should contact the iinet care Team (iinetcare@iata.org) to receive the iinet information forms, and to schedule the implementation of the automation if needed. 12
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Info Exchange Online access iinet Go Live SIS onboarding process Each SIS participant is requested to fill out the two information forms: General Information Form: Main contact Account owner account for each SIS business area Main user(s) Automation Information Form: Technical details on the connectivity set up Accounts to be automated Technical contact for the implementation of the automation 13
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Info Exchange Online access iinet Go Live SIS onboarding process Within 48 business hours after the reception of the iinet information forms the iinet accounts are created and the credentials communicated to the SIS participant. The new iinet account of the SIS participant will be automatically communicated the SIS team. 14
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Info Exchange Online access iinet Go Live SIS onboarding process The SIS participant must ensure that the first file submission is compliant with the SIS naming convention. At this stage the file must be sent to the SIS Sandbox iinet account ISSB. The participant can monitor the file delivery through the iinet online interface. 15
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Info Exchange Online access iinet Go Live SIS onboarding process After processing the SIS participant will receive the file report from the SIS System directly on its iinet account. The SIS participant can download the received file from the iinet online access. At this stage the iinet online access is live and the participant can pursue its SIS onboarding process. 16
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Submission Reception Automation Info Exchange Automation Automation Go Live Depending on the SIS participant IT infrastructure and organization, the iinet account automation can be done using the existing iinet connectivity between the participant and iinet. A new connectivity covering the file submission and the file reception can be implemented using the following protocols: SFTP SFTP/FTP over VPN APISec 17
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Submission Reception Automation Info Exchange Automation Automation Go Live For any data file submission iinet must be followed by a submission of TDF file for the routing information. According to the SIS status of the participant, the file should be sent to one of the two recipient accounts the SIS Sandbox iinet account ISSB or the SIS Production iinet account ISPR. The participant can monitor the file submission by retrieving the error report file from iinet server. 18
SIS / iinet Implementation Process Submission Reception Automation Info Exchange Automation Automation Go Live After being processed by the SIS system, the validation report will be pushed directly in the participant s server automatically. The SIS participant can also download the received file from the iinet online access. At this stage the iinet automation is live and the participant can pursue its SIS onboarding process. 19
