Technical Support Services

Unlike companies that require expensive support contracts and maintenance agreements, ImageStream includes software upgrades, remote support, and on-site maintenance services when you purchase your ImageStream router. ImageStream provides software upgrades and remote support for setup and configuration issues free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ImageStream's staff can provide in-depth, advanced support for dynamic routing setups, network design and consulting, and telephone company integration and trouble diagnosis on an as-needed hourly basis.

ImageStream never requires a service contract or charges a high per-incident minimum.

By providing ongoing, no-charge software upgrades and remote support, ImageStream ensures the continued capabilities, security, and performance of your router product. The support tools and knowledge provide your staff with the ability to avoid problems, maximize utility, and expedite problem resolution. When they're stumped, our technical support team provides 24-hour-a-day global support, with an aggressive escalation policy to ensure that your problem gets the appropriate attention from those best suited to solve it. And in those rare cases when a part needs to be replaced, ImageStream can deliver parts to you within four hours, accompanied by a service technician if you request it.

Technical Support Center
The ImageStream Technical Support Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be contacted via the telephone or electronic mail. It is staffed by network engineers who have experience with the ImageStream product line and all aspects of data communications networking technology.

Hardware installation and software configuration service is included with the purchase of an ImageStream router to aid customers who perform their own installations. Data networking experts can provide up to 1 hour of remote assistance. Technical support specialists configure remote units for maximum performance and test all routing connectivity. Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you would like an engineer to assist you during installation, ImageStream asks that you make an appointment, during normal business hours if at all possible.

ImageStream provides network design and integration services beyond standard installation and configurations. Professional services include network design, circuit provisioning, creating and testing filters, and configuration of dynamic routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP) in your network. Pricing is based on an hourly rate.
