Abstract: A system and method for routing administrative data over a telecommunications network to a remote processor establishes a connection between a router and the remote processor over a primary link. A processor associated with the router is adapted to detect a predetermined condition and thereupon to automatically reconfigure the router to establish another connection with the remote processor or a connection with another remote processor. The data may be routed over a telecommunications switching network using a router having inverse multiplexing capability. Further, a sockets connection may be established between the associated processor and the remote processor for monitoring the status of the connection between the router and the remote processor to detect a predetermined condition such as a link failure. External customer data may be routed to the system for remote archival purposes.
