In order to further
improvise the features and functionality available in Speed Net and resolve
some of the operational issues faced by the Circles, a new version of Speed Net
called “Speed Net 4.1” has been released by CEPT. The files containing the new
version of the Speed Net software is available for download at the following
url (CEPT FTP site):
What does the new version provide?
Version 4.1 adds following features:
(i) Returned to Sender (RTS) / Missent remark
for
despatch of Speed Post articles would be mandatory for delivery Post Offices.
Without valid RTS/missent remarks, the article cannot be returned back by the
post offices. This should resolve the problem of lack of RTS remarks faced by
many circles.
(ii)
Provision to select delivery date while
taking delivery returns in case of bulk delivery
through
Sorting Hub/IC Hub under Bulk Delivery option has been made for Sorting Hubs
and Intra Circle Hubs. Thus, in case the bags have been close and sent for
delivery by a Sorting Hub on a particular day but delivery could not be done
for any reason the same day, there would be a provision to enter the actual
date of delivery. However, it is informed that this provision may be used
carefully.
(iii)
Bulk Addressee Special Delivery Slip
(generated by SH/ICH for making bulk delivery directly to the bulk addressee)
has been redesigned and it is available for SH / ICH. This allows printing of 3
Speed Post articles per row, and hence, consumes less paper.
(iv)
Updation of delivery remarks for Articles under “Other Office Articles – Delivery Data” option
is now limited to offices falling under the PIN code jurisdiction of a delivery
Post Office. This has been done to prevent misuse of the feature of updation of
delivery data facility.
(v) A provision now exists to
upgrade local databases from Central
Server through Speed Net Communication. This would help the
central system to push new updates to the local systems centrally.
3. All post offices (whether booking or
delivery), Sorting Hubs (Speed Post) and Intra Circle Hubs (Speed Post) are
required to download and install Speed Net 4.1 from the url/website details
given above in this mail. A “Release

version, installation procedure, check list etc. is attached with this e-mail.
The same may be brought to the notice of all concerned.
4. It is requested that all post
offices, all Sorting Hubs and all Intra Circle Hubs may be directed to download
and install Speed Net version 4.1 at the earliest andlatest by 07.11.2013. A
compliance report may accordingly be sent only by e-mail to the
undersigned.
