PC-based SPM programming through a modem is performed either on-site or
from a remote location. In both cases, the modem built into the control unit is
used. Dialing

connects to the control unit modem’s extension jack. Reach the
built-in modem for remote programming in any of the following ways:
■
Call the system on a remote-access line and enter a barrier code (if
needed), and then dial the code for the control unit’s built-in modem (

)
■
Call the system on a regular line and ask the system operator to transfer
the call to the control unit’s built-in modem (

■
Call the remote PC with SPM from a telephone on the system, then
transfer the call to the control unit’s built-in modem (

Remote programming allows technicians to run diagnostic tests and to display
information needed to maintain the system. It is also used by Lucent Technologies
technical support organizations for installation and maintenance support.
Remote system programming overrides on-site system programming unless an
on-site backup or restore procedure is taking place. If on-site system
programming is being performed when a remote connection is attempted, the
system sends a message to the programmer that a remote connection has been
established and the current on-site programming session is terminated.
If remote system programming is to be done over loop-start lines, the lines should
be set to reliable disconnect. Otherwise, a line could be seized indefinitely.
