Support from Your Network Supplier

If you require additional assistance, contact your network supplier. 
Many suppliers are authorized 3Com service partners who are 
qualified to provide a variety of services, including network planning, 
installation, hardware maintenance, application training, and support 
services.

When you contact your network supplier for assistance, have the 
following information ready:

Product model name, part number, and serial number

A list of system hardware and software, including revision levels

Diagnostic error messages

Details about recent configuration changes, if applicable

If you are unable to contact your network supplier, see the following 
section on how to contact 3Com.

Support from 3Com

If you are unable to obtain assistance from the 3Com online technical 
resources discussed earlier in this appendix, or from your network 
supplier, 3Com offers a range of support services. Purchase of a 
support contract gives you priority response and is typically more cost 
effective than purchasing service for a specific incident. To find out 
more about your support options, e-mail or call the 3Com technical 
support services at the location nearest you.
