Instruction manual

Remote Administration Interface

Description

This feature provides dial-up access to the system’s administration port, either for a standard

system administration terminal or for a PC running Advanced Administration software.

Both read and write capability is provided with access to all system translation and fault tables. A

remote administration terminal can perform the same functions as the on-premises SAT.

Remote Administration allows remote access to the system by maintenance personnel, the System

Administrator, and others.

Security Considerations

See remarks appearing in the following section on “Remote Initialization and Maintenance Service

(RIMS).”

Interactions

Only one System Administration Terminal can be connected at one time.

Administration Requirements

Depends on the connecting arrangements selected (see below).

Hardware Requirements

Requires a remote SAT.

Requires that port #1 of the CPU/MEM CP be connected to: (1) a dedicated modem and dedicated

facility (private line or CO trunk), or (2) a dedicated modem connected to a tip ring station port, or

(3) an ADU connected to a data line port. See the “System Administration” feature description for

additional information. Connectivity information is also provided.
