AS2 connectivity
Setting up an AS2 connection to ECGrid can be done directly in your ECGrid Portal. All AS2 configuration and maintenance lives in one place.
Where to find it

certificate Renewal
If the ECGrid certificate you are connecting to is expiring within the next 90 days, you can download the new one directly from this page. Our certificate renewal technology runs the new certificate in parallel with the current one, so you can update at your convenience.
Once you upload the new ECGrid certificate, you must send a test file or a file signed with the new certificate. This notifies our network that you have successfully uploaded it, and we will automatically switch your profile to the new certificate on our end.
