Information about the service

NETWORK DEVICE INSTALLATION

This service provides you with an accredited IT professional who will assess, setup, install (either remotely or onsite) and commission a Network Device to connect to your business network.

The service aims to ensure your device is performing at its optimal level given your existing IT environment and business requirements.

ELIGIBILITY

You can order this service if:

  • you are a Telstra business customer with an ABN; and
  • your device passes a Hardware Readiness Assessment (see below); and
  • you need 5 or less Network Devices installed.

HARDWARE READINESS ASSESSMENT

If you didn't buy your network device from Telstra, we may not be able to install it.  We'll assess your device and if we can't install it, we will let you know as soon as we can - generally before we start work.  We'll only charge you for our costs up to that point.  Please refer to the Service Description document given to you when you ordered the service for more information on supported devices.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Depending on your business needs and number of network devices, you can select from three service packages.  Detailed technical information for each Service Deliverable in the below table are available on our website or in the Service Description document given to you when you ordered the service.
