A method of providing remote configuration access for a programming terminal via one or more data networks (113) to remote terminals (102) that are designed to be remotely configured using a programming terminal (134) adapted to program said remote terminal(s) via the PSTN using an analog dial up modem (132) via the PSTN (113), wherein a first remote interface means (RIM) (202) is connected to the remote terminal (102), the first remote interface means being adapted to provide a bi-directional interface between a remote terminal and a data network (222), and a modem emulator function (232)is provided to interface the programming terminal (134) with the network (222), including programming capabilities adapted for transmitting information via the network, the method including the steps of: obtaining an address for the first RIM or the remote terminal; converting the programming terminal output signals to a format suitable for transmission via a data network; establishing a data connexion between the programming terminal and the RIM via a data network using the address of the RIM; establishing communication between the RIM and the remote terminal; initiating the transmission of data to the RIM; in the RIM, converting the data to a remote terminal format used in programming (configuring) the remote terminal; transmitting the remote terminal format information to the remote terminal. |
