Connect the application to the Polaris Transport API
The Connection Settings page is used to establish the app’s connection to the carrier’s API. Enter the information prompted for, then click Save Settings. After the settings have been saved, click the Test Connection button. You’ll see a success message if the app was able to establish a connection with the carrier’s servers. If the test failed, something about your connection settings information is incorrect. Make the necessary corrections and try again.
