What it says you have to do and what you actually have to do are vastly different. We monitor it ourselves. There are a few companies that do it. The cheapest way is to use a monitor you can slap on Ethernet with SNMP. If not, they Ali use cellular and go for a minimum of $30 power month.
Once you get notified you just calm the FAA number with your ASR and you get two weeks. You can call back every two weeks forever if you like and never fix the thing.
