Abstract
A system and method for remotely monitoring and controlling signals to or from a component in a central office switching system having many components, such as line cards. The component reports status signals to a processing facility, which receives the status signals and broadcasts them to a device located in the central office. The device, upon receiving the broadcasted signals, displays the status signals so that a user can thereby monitor the component.
