Replace the 'FT00001 entry (or FT000002..FT000003 etc.), with the term 'Java Policy File" for<br />
ease of identification of the file type and thenm click on the 'OK' button. Ensure that the correct<br />
file type for the 'POLICY' extension is being changed and not some other file type.<br />
Correct file extension editing will let the user see that the '.java.policy' file is of the 'Java Policy<br />
File' type in folder windows.<br />
Internet Connection<br />
68 For market participants planning to connect to the <strong>IESO</strong> through the public Internet,<br />
the market participant must have an established Internet connection. This may be in the<br />
form of either a dial-up link to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or through an internal<br />
Web-gate or proxy server. The speed of this Internet connection will directly affect<br />
application performance.<br />
2.2 <strong>Participant</strong> Network<br />
69 Market participants will submit bids/offers, access market, settlements, and metering<br />
information through the use of the <strong>IESO</strong> participant network.<br />
70 There are three methods for a market participant to connect to the <strong>IESO</strong>. These are<br />
defined as PUBLIC over the Internet or as PRIVATE through a facility contracted by<br />
the market participant with a telecommunications service provider, or SHARED over<br />
the <strong>IESO</strong> provided frame relay switched network. Market participants who require high<br />
performance or reliability may wish to consider the PRIVATE or SHARED network<br />
alternatives.<br />
