The servlets (114) prevent the program of the central server is accessed directly.The system provides several levels of access, through the use of access codes (110), to prevent unauthorized users access to the information.The central server (100) communicates with the remote units (122) which are close to the equipment (124), and that have communication capabilities (120).The central server (100) can notify the user through a pager or other notification device.The central server (100) automatically connects each of the remote units to each user in a predetermined list and updates the data (112) of each remote unit.The program of the central server also enables the user to the remote unit to request the update data in addition to the predetermined scheduled transactions.
