Remote Access Card

[124Spider]

Hey there - I got a Partner ACS and Mail VS system (second hand, it was free...sorta) and I've got it mostly up and running. I had two cards and I'm not sure what they do.

One is the remote access card, and as far as I can tell, this is an upgrade chip, but it seems like it should do something else. With it installed, the system reads Partner ACS R5.0 C01 - I think it was originally a r3.0 system.

The other is not installed, but basically has 2 ethernet jacks in it.

Can anyone tell me what I can do with these? Thanks!

The remote access card serves 2 purposes:

1) To allow a craftsman to remotely access the Partner ACS processor via the auto attendant. The card is inserted into one of the two open PC card slots in the front of the processor.

2) To allow you to save current programming so should a system restore be needed, the programming will be there.

The other card, if it is a module that looks like the ACS processor, could be a 200E module or another voicemail. Without a picture, it is hard to tell.

The Remote Access card is both a modem and a backup/restore card. For remote access to work, you MUST configure a remote access password (#730) and use the Partner Advanced Administration software to access the PBX remotely. The software is available for free on Avaya's website.

A card with two Ethernet jacks on it? That doesn't sound like anything that belongs with the Partner. It may just be an ordinary PCMCIA card for a laptop or something.
