Izone+Technical+Support

=Izone Technical Support=

Should any technical issues arise with computers at the school level, the classroom teacher should contact the __SPOC__.  The SPOC should follow the steps outline below: 1. If the problem is with logins or passwords, every SPOC should know the standard template: a. Teacher login: Outlook username  b. Teacher Password: “izone” + last 4 of file # (e.g., izone1234)   c. Student login: check your student login list from your vendor. 2. Determine whether it is a hardware, application (software), or network issue. If it is identified as an application issue, begin the Application Support Process outlined below. If it is identified as a network issue, begin the Network Support Process. If it is a hardware issue or if the SPOC cannot determine whether it is a hardware or an application issue, proceed to step 3. 3. If it is hardware issue with an HP Laptop, write down the Asset ID tag number and call the **DIIT Helpdesk at 718-935-5100 or submit an incidence report at** [|**http://servicecenter.nycenet.edu/selfsupport/login.asp**], and identify yourself as an ILS SPOC. Hardware issue with HP laptops – will be handled by the standard DIIT helpdesk procedures. An issue ticket will be generated and the SPOC will be informed of next steps   4. If it is a hardware issue with Lenovo netbooks and the SPOC has determined the problem cannot be resolved onsite, the SPOC should write down the Asset ID tag number and call the **DIIT Helpdesk at 718-935-5100 or submit an incidence report at** [|**http://servicecenter.nycenet.edu/selfsupport/login.asp**]. If it determined that neither a SPOC nor iZone technician can resolve the problem, the SPOC will be directed to the Lenovo Support Process (outlined below)  5. If it is an application issue (e.g., with Time To Know, Compass Learning, or Pearson), the SPOC will be directed to the Application Support Process (outlined below)  6. If it is a wireless access issue, the SPOC will need to do basic troubleshooting for accessing internet through wireless devices in the classrooms. (See Attachment A – Basic Wireless Troubleshooting)  7. If the problem has not been satisfactorily addressed by the process described, please follow the Escalation Process (outlined below) **// Note: Physically damaged devices are NOT covered by ANY warranties. Schools will need to pay for damaged device repairs / replacements with their own funds. //**

** Lenovo Netbook Support Process ** 1. Lenovo netbook hardware issues during the **first year only** are covered by the mail-in warranty.
