What is DTEN Orbit Mission Control?

DTEN Orbit Mission Control is a remote technical resolution service that aims to optimize the efficiency of DTEN IT effort by speeding up the resolution time.  In addition, with DTEN customer’s initiation and approval, the service allows DTEN Support technicians to diagnose DTEN devices to perform diagnostics tests and troubleshooting without needing to dispatch personnel on-site.

 

To ensure security and privacy of your DTEN devices, this service requires a unique key and authorization from you every time before access from any DTEN Support technicians.  

 

How Does It Work?

Initiation by DTEN Technician

When a customer contacts DTEN support, depending on the issue, a DTEN Support technician may determine whether Mission Control is needed to help address the customer’s problem and resolve the open support ticket.  To initiate Mission Control, the customer must provide authorization.

 

When a call for support is received and it is determined that remote access is necessary to resolve the issue, a DTEN Support technician will email a Mission Control authorization request letter to the customer that contains a Go Authorize link (Figure 1).  When the customer clicks this link, it  will open to the Orbit website and display the open ticket.  When the customer hovers the mouse pointer over the ticket, an Approve and a Reject button will display.. Once the customer clicks on the Approve button (Figure 2), the authorization is complete and a confirmation email will be sent to the customer.

 

Initiation by Customer

The customer can alternatively add a ticket directly into Orbit, and provide authorization for Mission Control during that process. Instructions on how to do so are available HERE. While adding the ticket, the customer is able to select the device that is having an issue, describe the problem and indicate a date range and preferred time to receive remote assistance. Once the ticket is submitted, the customer will receive a confirmation letter.

• Orbit Mission Control Overlay Title - confirms that a Mission Control session is active
• Overlay Message “Remote Service in Progress” - also confirms active session
• Stop Service button - enables customer to disconnect remote access
