Can Remote Administration be used with a Partner Plus R3.1

[jc49er]

Can i use Remote Administration on a Partner Plus R3.1. I have used it on ACS systems but i was not sure it would work on a Plus R3.1. If not, is there another way to access a Plus remotely.
Thanks for the help

You can't use the remote software, but there used to be a remote device that had an interface at both locations. You plugged in a Partner display phone at the remote end and connected the local end to station 10. Once you connected you could program the system as if you were on site. I haven't seen one in a long time, but I'm sure someone on this forum has one laying around. Brian Cox

The old P+ and PIIs were remotely programed using RAUs (Remote Administration Units). One was placed between the set and wall jack at extension 10 and another between a display set and a regular phone line at the programmer's location. The programmer would call the site and take virtual control of the remote set at extension 10.

The connection between RAUs was tenuous, as best. Noise would be interpreted as program commands. Dropped connections and regular failures of the RAUs made them nearly worthless.

I've got two in a box behind my desk here. Great idea, but way outclassed by the ACS remote capability. Before spending a dime on RAUs, use your cash to upgrade the remote CPU.

Hi 392,
My thoughts exactly, I didn't have the heart to say it.
