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 />
