<p>A computer system for monitoring and controlling remote services comprises at least one first processor (100) executing a first set of instructions and at least one second processor (170) executing a second set of instructions. The first processor (100) and the second processor (170) communicate through a packet-switched network (110, 140). The second set of instructions causes the second processor (170) to initiate a data communication with the first processor (100) by means of a remote procedure call to the first processor (100), identify itself to the first processor (100), and accept commands from the first processor (100). The first set of instructions causes the first processor (100), after communications are initiated by the second processor (170), to receive data from the second processor (170) and send control instructions to the second processor (170). The first processor is typically a host server computer (100) and the second processor is typically a remote terminal unit (170).</p> |
