NetCover Basic - 3 Years Support Package, Phone Support, 8/5 Net.Cover Basic+ Plan

8 x 5 Phone Support

This feature provides a qualified technical service engineer who will troubleshoot problems within your network environment and will identify and isolate product failures. This is a live phone support plan that is supported 8am to 5pm in your local time zone, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Priority Queuing and Escalation

Priority queuing is a service that advances technical support calls to the “front-of-the-line” so to speak. This process reduces on-hold wait time for contracted customers seeking technical support by moving their call to the front of the on-hold Queue. If a tier one support representative cannot address the problem immediately, the incident is set to an escalated priority level, which dramatically decreases call back time from level 2 support.

Software Updates

This feature allows for free upgrades of operating system, software patches and revisions as soon as they are released to our public web site. Software and release notes can be downloaded directly from Allied Telesis' technical support public website, and activation is included with the purchase of your Net.Cover contract.

Same Day Shipment of Replacement Product*

In the rare event of a failure, this service will provide customers with same day product shipment from our RMA warehouse locations. This service provides product replacement and workarounds to correct bugs, malfunctions, system errors and other related problems that adversely affect the product’s ability to operate as designed. All returns must be “qualified” by a technical support representative prior to return authorization. To further decrease return time on faulty products, RMA processing is done with a Priority One Severity Level.

* This level of service does not guarantee next business day product replacement
