ATA Remote Access

Post by Pierre »

I purchased a preconfigured ATA box (Grandstream Handy Tone 286) from FPL about two months ago; so far everything appears to be working fine.
For the purpose of trouble shooting or making changes, can FPC remotely access my ATA box?

We have no way of remotely accessing ATAs, as they are NAT'd behind your router.

If a tech support agent ever needs access they would have the customer setup a temporary port forward in their router so we can get at it. However, this is a very rare scenario as our ATAs have an extremely intuitive and easy interface so we can easily walk customers through troubleshooting over the phone or email.
