6 Page 5 Technical Support Service objectives We aspire to address your requests within 24 hours for incidents involving the loss of service for one or more users and within 48 hours for incidents in which service is still available. In many cases, standard repair requests are addressed within a shorter window. Bear in mind that, because BVoIP is a Voice over IP service, your IP connectivity must be fully functional to receive the full spectrum of BVoIP services. As such, site-wide outages caused by networking issues would be resolved along the timelines in force for your data networking services. TELUS IP-Networks services, for example, guarantee 99.97% uptime. TELUS BVoIP core infrastructure, that is the call processing elements in our core network, are maintained at % availability, ensuring that calls are processed according to your routing, voic or forwarding settings regardless of the state of your site, network access, or individual telephone. Depending on what services you have with TELUS, some support activities related to non-telus managed solution components, such as on-site troubleshooting of a customer LAN issue, may be chargeable. Your technician will advise you of the possibility of charges before you commit to any chargeable or potentially chargeable services. Customer Self Help Troubleshooting The first step if you are having trouble with your BVoIP phone service is to validate that the issue is not local to your telephone or network. To help you track possible sources of trouble, we suggest the following: IP-Phone Troubleshooting Check that network cable is securely plugged into the correct jack on the phone and in the wall Ensure that the telephone has power, either from an adaptor or in-line (Power over Ethernet) Ensure that, if a PC is attached to the phone, the PC is securely connected to the correct jack Can the user use their PC to access the network? If not, the local-area network may be down Can the user access the internet? If not, internet or wide-area network may be down Ensure that you are dialing 9 before calls to users outside your local dial plan Speaker Phone Troubleshooting Q1: Can t hear caller on the speaker? A1: Try increasing the speaker volume. Q2: Callers can t hear you when you use the speakerphone?
