R-7 Remote Maintenance
General Description
This feature allows the office data changes or reassignments to be performed without a site visit by a
service personnel, and can be used to detect fault tendencies before they become service effecting. One
REMOTE MAINTENANCE center can service an unlimited amount of systems, thus reducing the amount
of personnel needed to maintain each site.

The operation of this feature involves the use of the MAINTENANCE ADMINISTRATION TERMINAL
(MAT) [M-18]. All related operations can be found in the “NEAX2400 ICS Command Manual”.

password.
3. The following three facility methods are available to interface with a remote test location.
