Out of band Dial-Up
Diagnostics
Advanced Network Products has
been using out of band dial-up diagnostics for years to access
our customers routers when their Frame relay circuit has failed.
By dialing around the failure our NOC personnel can quickly
connect to your router and determine the nature of the problem
or re-configure the router.
We require our customers to
install a low cost dial-up modem to all equipment that we manage
on a WAN. Our experience has shown time and again that a
dial-up modem can have a positive impact on meant time to
repair. Our NOC personnel can dial-in and we can quickly
determine if we have a router failure, power failure or a Telco
circuit failure. Without that dial-in visibility, we would
be forced to dispatch a service engineer, and wait until they
arrive on site to do what we could have done in minutes instead
of hours. |
