Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ’s Technical Support Guidelines
The following technical support guidelines are designed to provide Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ customers with the most responsive and highest quality technical support.
Our Technical Support Engineers
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ prides itself on having one of the premier technical support departments in the industry. Our Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) are well versed in internetworking principles using TCP/IP and Physical and Second Layer Protocols such as T1, ISDN, Frame Relay, PPP, ATM, etc. Because of our extensive knowledge and experience, customers sometimes ask a TSEs advice on issues other than the function and features of Optima® Management System and Remote suite of products. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ TSEs will use their networking knowledge to help isolate a customer’s challenge, but it is necessary to draw some boundaries to ensure that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides all customers with responsive and high-quality technical support. In addition, access to, and terms and conditions of, technical support are defined by product warranties and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Support Plans purchased.
Integrating Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Products with Other Manufacturers’ Hardware Products
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ access products are designed to published standards and will interoperate successfully with most other manufacturers’ hardware products. If s Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ TSE determines that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ product is performing its functions in accordance with applicable specifications, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ will assist the customer in attempting to isolate the source of their networking problem. However, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ cannot be responsible for errors caused by onsite wiring or the configuration of any third-party products such as modems, servers, routers, hubs, switches, or firewalls.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ TAC is pleased to help its customers integrate Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ products into their network design, but it is the customer’s responsibility to provide the network design. It is very helpful if the customer can forward network design drawings to TAC for analysis. If the customer is not comfortable providing a network design, TAC can provide network consulting services on an hourly fee basis.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ TAC does not provide network monitoring or network maintenance services other than as outlined in the terms of a Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Support Plan. If you are interested in a support plan, please contact support@westell.com.
Training for all Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ products
Training for all Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ products is available through the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Technical Training department. While TAC will always help callers understand the specific configuration and operation of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ products, callers to TAC are expected to have a working knowledge of networking principles, as TAC does not provide general training in networking technology. More information about Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ training courses is available on the training page.
