# Use a Remote Answer System

When you have a remote answer system, Answer Server treats it in the same way as a local answer system when it processes results.

You can include a remote answer system in a query in the same way that you do any local systems. By default, the Ask action retrieves answers from all systems, or you can limit the action to particular systems by setting the SystemNames parameter to a comma-separated list of system configurations. For example:

    http://12.3.4.56:7000/action=Ask&Text=What is the largest city in Norway?&SystemNames=FactBank,MyRemoteFactBank

The Ask action is the only action that Answer Server forwards to the remote servers. To manage your systems, for example by using GetResources and ManageResources, you must send the actions directly to the Answer Server where the system is configured.

NOTE: When you send a GetResources action with the SystemName parameter set to the name of a remote answer system, it returns only JSON schemas and XSDs for the GetResources action. To retrieve the full set of XSDs and schemas, you must send the action directly to the remote Answer Server.
