Notice
Every effort was made to ensure that the information in this book was complete
and accurate at the time of printing. However, information is subject to change.
Security
As a customer of new telecommunications equipment you should be aware of
the significant and growing problem of theft of long distance services by third
parties, known commonly as “toll fraud.” It is particularly important that you
understand and take appropriate steps to deal with this crime because under
applicable tariffs, you will be responsible for payment of associated toll charges.
AT&T cannot be responsible for such charges and will not make any allowance
or give any credit resulting from toll fraud.
Toll fraud can occur despite the preventive efforts of network providers and
equipment manufacturers. Toll fraud is a potential risk for every customer with
telecommunications equipment having one or more of the following features:
(1) remote access, (2) automated attendant, (3) voice mail, (4) remote administration and maintenance, and (5) call forwarding (remote). This is not a product
or design defect, but a risk associated with equipment having one or more of
the features described above. If your new telecommunications equipment
possesses any of these features, please consult the relevant portion of your
documentation for further details and specific procedures to reduce the risk of
toll fraud or contact your AT&T dealer for further details.

How to Use This Guide
This guide explains how to set up and use remote administration,
which allows programming of a PARTNER®, PARTNER Plus, or
PARTNER
Remote administration requires installation of Remote
Administration Units (RAUs) at the site to be administered (the
local site) and the remote location. RAUs are intended for
system programming purposes only.
The guide is divided into three chapters, as follows:

Chapter 1 is intended for the individual who will install the
Remote Administration Units at the local site and the
remote location.
Chapter 2 is intended for the user at the local site who
permits remote administration. This person does not
perform remote programming, but performs a simple
procedure to allow a remote system manager or Service
Center associate to administer the system.
Chapter 3 is intended for the remote system manager and
Service Center associate. This section explains how to
perform remote programming.

This section explains how to install a Remote Administration Unit
(RAU) at the local site and the remote location. Read this section
if you are the person who will install the RAU.
RAUs allow a remote system manager or Service Center
associate (an AT&T employee or Authorized Distributor) to
perform remote programming on a PARTNER, PARTNER Plus, or
PARTNER
one RAU must be installed at the site to be administered (the
local site). The remote location also requires an RAU. An RAU at
the remote location can administer one local site at a time.
Therefore, a Service Center may have more than one RAU to
allow multiple associates to perform remote administration at the
same time.
II
Communications System. For remote administration,
Throughout the remainder of this chapter, remote system
manager refers to the remote system manager or Service Center
associate and remote location refers to the Service Center or
other remote location.
Installing the Remote Administration Unit
1-1
Before You Begin
Be sure the RAU package contains the following components:
■
1 Remote Administration Unit
■
1 mounting plate with plastic wall anchors, screws, and
double-sided adhesive
■
2 2-pair telephone line cords
■
1 power supply
■
1 power supply cord with modular connectors
Installing an RAU at the Local Site
For remote administration, the phone used for system programming (typically extension 10) must be connected to the RAU
instead of being connected directly to the control unit. During
remote administration, this phone is unavailable to make or
answer calls. If the system allows system programming from
extension 11, the RAU may be connected to extension 11 to allow
uninterrupted use of extension 10 during remote administration.
Selecting a Location for the RAU
The RAU may be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall near the
control unit. When selecting a location, keep the following in
mind:
■
Do not place the RAU on top of the system control unit or
modules.
■
The RAU should be within 1.8 m (6 feet) of the control unit
and an electrical outlet.
1-2
Installing the Remote Administration Unit
■
If placing the RAU on a desk or table, be sure the surface
is stable.
■
Keep the cords out of the way to prevent anyone from tripping over them.
If you are not wall mounting the RAU, continue with “Connecting
the RAU” on page 1-6.

Installing an RAU at the Remote Location
The RAU is designed for use with any PARTNER communications
system. However, the RAU can be connected directly to a loopstart Central Office line or behind a PBX analog extension port. If
you wish to install an RAU at a location without a PARTNER system, contact the Central Office to be sure the location uses a
loop-start line.
In addition to the RAU, you will need a system display phone:
■
an MLS-12D or MLS-18D is recommended for a remote
location that administers only small PARTNER systems of
up to 4 lines/12 extensions maximum;
■
an MLS-34D phone is recommended for a remote location
that administers PARTNER
well as small PARTNER systems.
You also can connect an MLS-CA24 Call Assistant Intercom
Autodialer.

mount the RAU on the wall next to the system phone so the
manager can see the RAU panel lights. The RAU should be

Telephone Operation and Use
After the RAU is installed, the system phone connected to the
RAU is available to make and receive calls unrelated to remote
programming. The system phone works like a single-line phone.
Calls may be placed by lifting the handset and dialing the
number on the dialpad. Incoming calls ring at the system phone,
and they can be answered by picking up the handset. The fixed
and programmable feature buttons on the system phone cannot
be used.

Throughout the remainder of this chapter, remote system
manager refers to the remote system manager or Service Center
associate, and remote location refers to the Service Center or
other remote location.
Remote administration can be initiated in one of three ways:
■
You can call the remote location and request assistance.
■
The remote location can call you and request permission
to administer your system.
■
You can set the system to allow remote administration after
normal business hours or when the system is unattended.
CAUTION:
Please carefully read the section “Security of Your System”
on page 2-4 for information on how to better protect your
system.
When You Call

To request remote programming for your system:
1.
Place a call from your Primary Extension Telephone to the
remote system manager at the remote location.
2.
When the remote system manager tells you to do so, start
the remote administration by pressing [
At this point, you will no longer hear the remote system manager’s

Security of Your System
CAUTION:
As a customer of a Remote Administration Unit, you should
be aware that there exists an increasing problem of telephone toll fraud. Telephone toll fraud can occur in many
forms, despite the numerous efforts of telephone companies
and telephone equipment manufacturers to control it.
The following security measures assist you in managing remote
administration to help prevent unauthorized use:
■
Always enter a four-digit password for unattended
administration. Use a different password each time.
■
Immediately after enabling unattended administration,
notify the remote system manager.
■
Disable unattended administration when it is no longer
needed.

If a power failure occurs at the remote location where the RAU is

reset the RAU and the control unit. If the red light next to the left
intercom button on the system phone connected to the RAU is lit
after power has been restored, reset the RAU and the control unit
by pressing [
The red light next to the left intercom button goes out, and the phone
lights reflect the status of the buttons.
It is not necessary to perform this procedure at the local site at
any time.
