Lwillis 17 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 We use iPhones as company devices , MASWEB mobile is really handy for maint an commissions .

MrHappy 934 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 Masweb is access to your ARC via web browser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alterEGO 12 Report post Posted August 11, 2012 I thought everyone would be using there phones for remote access to the ARC by now? We limit what can be done via phone but we can put on test, check history, reset if we wanted to etc. I can't remember the last time I called the control room.

Lwillis 17 Report post Posted August 11, 2012 We use southern and can put jobs on test , check signals and check key holders using the iPhone app. Can't change anything from it tho . It's a bit of a pain having to ring up to change a key holder. It can be done using the normal MASWEB desktop site in safari tho . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
