English translation:(remote) maintenance link

Explanation:
a bit of a guess, but 'Wartung' = 'service' in the sense of 'maintenance', and remote maintenance is a popular feature these days in more or less automated systems -- and for that you need a link (usually a modem and some software) to a computer located somewhere else.

Some sample google hits:

ref 1: With TOTEM.LINK 2.0 our customers are able to handle software and parameter updates,
monitor the status of each kiosk, allow remote maintenance, will alert for

ref 2: The Remote maintenance modem offers this possibility by securing the access on the
physical, the data link and the application layer of the communication.

It is actually a connection to the 'Warte' in the factory. I Warte is an oldfashioned word for control centre, but still used.
