This chapter provides an overview of the REMCS service.
1.1 Purpose of REMCS Service
The REMCS service connects your PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series to the REMCS Center, a total support center
for Fujitsu customers, through the Internet or P-P (point to point) connection to enable the system to send
server configuration information and automatically report failures when they occur. The REMCS service is
thus intended to facilitate prompt responses and solutions to problems.
To receive the REMCS service, you will need a relevant service agreement with Fujitsu. Users without an
agreement may register with the REMCS Center (registration) but cannot receive the service. For details on
the service, contact the distributor where you purchased your product or your sales representative.

PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series system to the REMCS Center via the Internet or P-P (point to point) connection.
