# Create and Escalate Support Tickets

## You may find that you need to open a support ticket. Tickets can be raised via email, or in the portal. We are here to help with any questions, concerns, or requests.

### Raising A Ticket

Before raising a ticket, ensure you have checked the documentation at [documentation.luminatewholesale.com.](https://documentation.luminatewholesale.com?hsLang=en)

Tickets can be raised in 1 of 3 ways

1. Log into the support portal at [support.luminatewholesale.com](https://support.luminatewholesale.com).
2. Click the "Tickets" button in the portal.  
   ![](https://ukdocs.access4.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-30-2024-11-58-15-3554-PM.png?width=94&height=96&name=image-png-Jul-30-2024-11-58-15-3554-PM.png)
3. Send an email to help@luminatewholesale.com

**WARNING -** We recommend **not** raising tickets via email, this is because raising a ticket via the portals will prompt you for all the information needed on a ticket.

**NOTE -** If its urgent, you can also call us at **0333 188 7878**

**IMPORTANT:** Our Support hours at 9am - 5:30pm Monday to Friday. Any tickets raised outside of these hours will not be responded to until the listed times.

### Best Practices

When raising tickets it is vital that you include as much information as possible. The more information we have the faster we can solve your ticket.

**IMPORTANT -** If you have highly urgent issue (half or more of all devices on a domain unable to make or receive calls). Then please state this at the top of your ticket.

**NOTE -** Failing to provide enough information will slow down your ticket, as you will likely just be prompted for more information or referred back to this article.

#### **Detailed Subject**

The subject of the ticket should accurately reflect the details of the issue. For instance, a subject of "Caller ID" is fine, but "Simultaneous Ring to Mobile Phone Displays User Extension Instead of the Caller's ID" is better.

**NOTE -** If you're ticket is just a query or request then you don't need to go into as much detail.

#### Description

Write a full, detailed description of the problem you are experiencing. When possible, we recommend describing the issue by breaking it into three separate areas: (1) describe the issue, (2) explain the steps to reproduce the issue, (3) explain how you troubleshoot the issue, and (4) provide further documentation such as a call trace URL.

**Describe the Issue**

- What is happening now?
- What is the expected behaviour?
- If a configuration isn't working, what differences do you notice when it is enabled or disabled? If you've changed the configuration back to its original state, document what settings have been reconfigured.
- Explain whether the issue is happening with a user, with a domain, an on-net number, etc.
- List any recent configuration changes made to the servers or network.

**Explain the Steps to Reproduce the Issue**

- Provide the steps to duplicate where the issue is happening (first we clicked this, then we typed in this, and so on).
- Provide user credentials (not applicable in every situation).

**NOTE -** If your issue is intermittent and you are unable to replicate, please ensure to collect example logs (usually in the form of SIP Traces). We need at least 3 examples within a 48 hour period.

 

**Explain How You Troubleshot the Issue**

- Give clear descriptions of what you already did to troubleshoot the problem.
- Did you try with multiple users?
- What data did you review?
- Did you delete and reinsert a setting?
- Did you attempt to access in incognito?

**Provide Further Documentation**

Make sure to take screenshots, or even better, record a video. Collect multiple SIP Traces with each being a different scenario ([How to Share a SIP Trace](https://documentation.luminatewholesale.com/how-to-share-a-sip-trace?hsLang=en)).

**NOTE -** If you are unable to get SIP Traces of the issue because the calls aren't showing in the call history, then it will likely be one of the following issues:

If inbound calls are failing and not appearing in the call history, it is likely a carrier fault. Simply raise the ticket as normal but state the above.

If your phone is provisioned but outbound calls are failing and not showing in the call history:

- [SIP ALG Is enabled](https://documentation.luminatewholesale.com/what-is-sip-alg-and-should-it-be-on-or-off?hsLang=en)
- [The invites are being blocked somewhere on the network.](https://documentation.luminatewholesale.com/supported-network-configurations-best-practices-and-things-you-should-know?hsLang=en)
- [Our Firewall Is blocking the invites because the MTU size is too high](https://documentation.luminatewholesale.com/issues-caused-by-mtu?hsLang=en)

 

### Escalations

Whilst we do our best to solve all tickets within a timely manor, sometimes they need a push.

**WARNING -** Our SLA for ticket responses is 4 working hours, any escalations on tickets still within this SLA will be rejected.

To escalate, please send an email with the ticket details to:

> **Emi Pritchard**  
> Head of Service Delivery  
> emi@luminatewholesale.com

If you wish to escalate further, please email

> **Jordan Tillotson**  
> Channel Manager  
> jordan@luminatewholesale.com
