Communication Manager
General Information
The Lacerte Communication Manager is used for communicating with Lacerte by modem or via the Internet. All Remote Entry Processing (REP), Electronic Filing, Lacerte E-Mail, and Tech Support Alerts transmissions are sent through the Communication Manager. The Communication Manager contains a section for each of the electronic functions that allows you to view what will occur when you connect to Lacerte.
When you e-file through Lacerte, you create an e-file and transmit it to Lacerte via the Communication Manager. Exercises related to e-filing can be found in the E-Filing tutorial.
Tech Support Alerts contain up-to-date information about problems, common questions, and suggestions about operating Lacerte software programs. Tech Support Alerts exercises can be found in the Support section of the Program Operations tutorial.
Lacerte E-Mail allows you to communicate electronically with the Lacerte Customer Support departments via a modem or Internet connection. Exercises for the Lacerte E-Mail feature can also be found in the Support section of the Program Operations tutorial.
This section is designed to familiarize you with the process of using Remote Entry Processing (REP) and give you an understanding of the Communication Queue.
