Hello all, how do i get the pass thru feature to work, on an Intuity Audix system
 
The Audix must have the card that patches through to the Admin port on the Legend. SPM is loaded on the Audix as well, so that you can administer the Legend from there.

Now, when you come in through to the Legend's modem, select Pass Through from the SPM top menu. You will see the screens drawn just as if you were in front of the audix.
 
BTW, I owe you an apology for not answering your post with the professionalism that I normally do. I mistook your "Great, so the G3Si doesn't have this feature" as sarcasm and responded inappropriately. Please forgive me.

Thanks brother. I've got a message out to some pals about your other post. Back to you when everyone else on the west coast wakes up (I'm getting my son to the airport in a half hour to get him back to college).

But back on topic: Were you trying to admin both an AUDIX, Legend/Magix AND Definity G3? If so, you COULD do it with an AB Switch or one of those multi-port IP-to-serial boxes.

I should have just kept my piehole shut as Tommy answered the question from the start. Selecting Pass-Through from the WinSPM menu temporarily lets the Admin port to flow data to and from a remote programmer and whatever serial device it's connected to. In that respect, the Admin port could be connected to a Cisco router just as easily as it could be to an AUDIX, Definity console port or the DTC connector on a car (so that you could remotely read the Check Engine Light codes on a car). Serial is serial.

I know the 8-wire 8-position connector (often called RJ-45) seems an odd choice for serial, but it was considered at the time to be one of the competing standards. Today, it's all about USB--which is pretty much the same thing...minus four or five control leads. You could Google "Yost Cable" to see a take on the old standards.
