Lwillis Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I've used my iPad for rrs but had to remote login into the host pc at the office for it . Actually worked quite well.

Lwillis Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We use iPhones as company devices , MASWEB mobile is really handy for maint an commissions . Saves loads of time instead of ringing the arc and then having to invert digi outputs etc . Just wish galaxy did an UDL app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHappy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Masweb is access to your ARC via web browser Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted August 11, 2012 Share 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 Posted August 11, 2012 Share 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
