Administration via ethernet????

[lschaffer]

Can anyone tell me if it is feasible to use a pair of serial-to-ethernet adapters (one on the Partner system and one at a remote location across the company WAN attached to a PC) to do remote administration?

Remote access requires a modem. You cannot connect any other way.

Well, if you have a Release 7 or 8, there is the serial Administration port. If you can get the serial to ethernet adapters to talk to each other over the wan, I don't see why not. As long as you're attached to Com 1 or 2 on the admin PC, you would be fine.

Alternatively, how about a PC on site, with a serial port attached to the Admin port, the programming gui loaded on it, and LogMeIn so you can access it from anywhere.

TouchToneTommy - those are excellent suggestions!!

Thank you both. You've clarified for me the functionality of the serial port. Any rumors of Avaya supporting a true Ethernet/WAN-connected admin tool in the future???

well i think the Partner processors are going away and they will be using an IP Office with partner software. then you will have true IP management.
