ActiveService Network

Your Express5800/320Ma systems offers an optional, secure network, the
ActiveService Network (ASN). ASN enables NEC Technical Support or your authorized

problem-resolution services to your systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Access to
the ASN requires a service contract with NEC Solutions (America), Inc. or an
authorized service representative and is implemented across a modem or over the
Internet.
Having ASN connectivity enables:
•
Your system to send alerts (call-home alarm messages) to NEC Technical Support
or your authorized service representative when unusual events occur on the
system
•
NEC Technical Support or your authorized service representative to access the
system through a connection to the ASN
Your system can connect to the ASN through:
•
A modem connected to the system
•
The VTM or an ftGateway system (a system configured as a gateway for ASN
connectivity)

The Internet
