However, I have many legacy Outback VFX systems out there and some could really use remote communication. Unfortunately, I have stayed far away from Optics RE, as I haven't been thrilled with the reports of issues the system had. However, it seems it is the best option for remote oversight, so I am trying to figure out what is required and what it is capable of.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I've read through the initial documentation and as best I can gather, I need a Mate 3s and an internet connection - is that all? I assume having a FlexnetDC in the system is critical as well. I'm also wondering if there is a way to monitor basic production data from a Midnite Classic through the Optics system. And is the Optics RE system fairly solid since I'm not thrilled about putting in systems that need too much fussing or attention to keep operating once they are set up properly. Finally, are there any other comparable monitoring equipment that would work for monitoring such systems?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Howie<br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span><span><font color="#888888"><span style="color:rgb(120,63,4)"><b>Howie Michaelson<br></b></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"></span></font></span></span><span><span><span><span><font color="#888888"><span style="color:rgb(106,168,79)"><b>Sun Catcher</b></span><br><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68)"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font size="2">
