Connecting Directly To JLR
Suppliers who are currently connecting directly to Ford for their JLR messages will be able to continue connecting directly via the new infrastructure; however, a new OFTP network (SSID), mailbox (SFID) and associated connection details will need to be profiled in your OFTP software.
Below are the connection details for the new JLR infrastructure and instructions about how to add these details to your Data Interchange product.
