Before You Begin
Having details on hand when opening a case will expedite the processFor a support case, it’s important to know the specific product for which you need assistance. For example, if voice service is not working on a Total Access 5000 module, entering the module type (CPOTS, RPOTS, VDSL Combo, etc.) and basic configuration (GR-303, SIP, MGCP, etc.) will send your case to the engineer qualified to provide support on that technology. Not providing details may require additional questions and case handoffs before help begins.
