Product Warranty :
This feature provides a local, qualified technical service engineer who will help to troubleshoot problems within your network environment and will identify and isolate product failures. Supported hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, in Australia and New Zealand, excluding holidays. All product under warranty that has been qualifi ed as defective by Allied Telesis is eligible for free product replacement. Uncontracted customers experience, on average, a 5- to 7 -day turnaround time for product replacement. Replacement product is shipped after the defective unit(s) has been received and tested by our RMA department. Return shipping costs for defective units are the responsibility of the customer. However, all outgoing shipments are made at Allied Telesis expense.

The Base Factory Warranty comes with the purchase of any Allied Telesis equipment.

Configuration Assistance (Gold and Silver Service Programmes)
Basic hardware and software remote confi guration assistance is provided with our Net.Cover package. Call on our technicians for help with scripts, CLI and more. Confi guration Service is a Professional Service offering billed at a separate hourly rate, or free of charge with a Net.Cover Gold or Silver contract.

Priority Listing and Escalation
Priority listing advances your technical support calls to the "front-of-the-line." This process reduces on-hold wait time for contracted customers by moving your call to the top of the on-hold queue. By flagging your account, we assign an elevated level of urgency for all of your support calls, regardless of the problem, scope and size. If a local support representative cannot address your problem immediately, this service option also places your call escalation at an increased priority level, which dramatically decreases call back time.

Advanced Product Replacement
Once a fault has occurred and identitied as a product failure then an advance replacement will be shipped at our cost.
All returns must be qualifi ed by a technical support representative prior to return authorisation. To further decrease return time on faulty products, RMA processing is done with a Priority One Severity Level. Same-business-day shipment with advance replacement is limited to Australia and New Zealand, unless otherwise specifi ed in your service agreement.
Depending on contract this will be same day shipment, same business day shipment or next business day shipment.
