Abstract
A method to access a device may include obtaining, at a first device, data over a short-range wireless network from a second device. The data may originate at a remote system that sends the data to the second device through a network connection over a wide area network. The method may also include in response to a fault at the second device, obtaining, at the first device from the remote system, a maintenance command for the second device. The maintenance command may be obtained by the first device over an analog voice network. The method may also include directing, from the first device to the second device, the maintenance command over the short-range wireless network to enable the second device to perform the maintenance command.
