Service requests

Secure connect gateway automatically creates service requests when an issue is detected, a service request can also be created over an email, telephone, or chat conversation, or from TechDirect. For devices with a ProSupport, ProSupport Plus, ProSupport Flex for Data Center, or ProSupport One for Data Center service contract, the service request status is displayed irrespective of the source from which the service request was created.
