Frequently Asked Questions

Client Care is a suite of service offerings designed to maximize system uptime and keep your system running at the highest possible level.

We offer four levels of Client Care coverage, each with its own set of response characteristics and capabilities.

DNS Only gives Station Earth the ability to remotely access your system and attempt repairs without having to dispatch a service technician. Response to service requests are made during regular business hours. Remote labour is billed at our regular hourly rate. This is our most basic level of coverage.

Remote includes our se connect capabilities and expands coverage to 11pm – seven days a week. Remote labour is provided at no charge for up to 12 remote logins per year. We also provide enhanced diagnostic tools including our se connect Mobile application which allows you to manage your system from your phone.

Proactive includes all the benefits of our Remote plan while adding the ability for Station Earth to actively monitor your system for performance issues and attempt to correct them before you even know there is a problem. This is our most popular plan.

Ultimate combines all the benefits of our Proactive plan with on-site service coverage including annual preventative maintenance and up to 12 on-site service calls per year. You can choose optional warranty extension for complete coverage.

se connect is Station Earth’s remote service tool that provides real-time diagnostic capabilities for networked devices including Routers, Access Points, Switches, and other compatible devices.

We can track internet speed, identify ISP deficiencies, and reset routers and modems in the event of an internet outage. In most cases we can get you back up and running without having to interrupt you at home.

Client Care is available for all clients with rack based, remotely accessible automation systems as well as standalone networking/Wi-Fi customers. If you are unsure of your configuration or are interested in Client Care support, give us a call to find out how we can help you.

Existing systems may require an audit to determine eligibility for Client Care.  Any additional items required to make your system se connect ready will be identified and quoted accordingly.

If we currently connect remotely to your system, you can enroll in Client Care plan.

DNS Only – The DNS Only plan has a $100 fixed annual charge to cover the cost of licensing and the physical connection to your system. All labour – diagnostic and repair –  is charged at our regular hourly rate.

Going forward we will only provide remote service for those enrolled in a Client Care plan. Although we may have connected to your system remotely in the past, changes in technology and licensing have increase the cost of maintaining these connections.
