Savvis™ WAM!NET Internet Gateway Instructions
The following steps are helpful for successful transmission of files to Farm Progress
1. Please name your file using advertiser name and issue date. (Example JohnDeere0301). This is most important in tracking your material. Ads named simply Farm Progress or by magazine risk the danger of having material overwritten by the next account transmitting a file using the same name. Following the above naming convention will prevent this and will allow us to successfully track your material.
2. If using a Macintosh you can then save your file as a Stuffit file or in Windows as a zip file. (Example: JohnDeere0301.sea or JohnDeere0301.zip). The preferred format “Press Ready PDF” files can be sent without using Stuffit or Winzip. When finished you are ready to connect to Internet by following instructions below.
3. Connect to the Internet and enter HTTP://WWW.WAMGATE.COM in the address window.
4. Enter the following in the username box farmprogress (Note this is all one word and lowercase.)
