TSS Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have previously installed redcare and was not registered at that time. Have done the training at BT though... Couldn't get a URN but then that wasn't an issue. The redcare classic was used for fault/event signalling and it was more important to know that there was a fault at site or a line fault, in which case the sub went to site TSS Communication is "A question asked, and an Opinion given." I offer mine to help you with yours. Statements I make are my personal views only at the time they are posted, if I offend you sorry, must be taken in context and do not neccesarily represent those of my employer.
