TUM Grand Venture office desk IP phones rely on your internet connection, which needs electrical power and an IP address to function. If power or internet issues occur, your desk phones will not be able to register, however all calls can still be routed to your mobile application, cell number, or forwarded to an answering service maintaining full functionality or your system.  With our hosted solutions you will never miss a call again. 

We stand by our product as long as you continue using the service. If we send a technician to your location to repair a product that we have installed, there is absolutely no cost to you. However, if it is determined that the reason for the service call is related to something beyond our system such as local network problems, on-site electrical damage, user error or a similarly related issue, there may be a charge associated with the repair. As always, our unlimited remote support can assist you in determining whether a problem is related to your local network or our supported phone system.

Once all the paperwork is complete, the process will take between 30-45 days to complete the installation process.  Porting, however, takes upto 2-3 weeks to complete and is typically done after the install to eliminate any possibility of downtime.  We do have paid expedite options if you have a specific timeframe we need to meet. 

Step 1: Your order will be accepted and processed by your sales representative.

Step 2: Our scheduling and design team will setup a design call to discuss the way you would like the system customized to your liking.  

Step 3: Our build technicians will program your phone system according to the specifications outlined by the design team during the design call.

Step 4: Equipment will be shipped to your location to await the installation date. 

Step 5: On the date of the installation the phones will be activated and your numbers will be forwarded to the new phone system.  Training will be provided by the onsite or remote installation technician.  

Step 6: We will port your numbers away from your old carrier to the TUM Grand Venture platform. 

Step 7: Installation Complete. 

While most customers do not need to upgrade their network in order for the phones to function correctly, we do recommend that some basic network guidelines and firewall rules are put in place. These general guidelines are appropriate for a business of any size and should generally be followed whether or not you have a VoIP system. Some of those recommendations include: 

1) Using Your Own Router (Not your ISP’s router): Some small businesses rely on the router/firewall of their Internet Service Provider (ISP) instead of purchasing their own. These businesses may not realize that by doing so, they may be leaving their network open to unnecessary security risks and have less control over the protection and functions of their network. Often, customers who switch from an ISP router to their own purchased router, report improved quality of service both for their phone system and their internal network. We recommend using one of our firewall/routers or managing your own, although it is not mandatory. If your current router has limitations which do not allow proper use of the phones there is also equipment that we can provide to help overcome local network issues and this can be shipped to you for a minimal one-time charge.

2) Disabling SIP ALG: SIP ALG is a setting in many routers that blocks VoIP traffic from working correctly. Disabling this setting is a simple button within the router that can drastically improve the performance of your phone system. Virtually all VoIP systems require this function to be disabled. Your IT support can do this for you, or if you do not have an IT person, our remote technicians may be able to assist if you have the login username and password to your router available.

3) Do Not Block Outbound Ports: Although most networks do no block outbound ports, it is important to note that if your network requires that outbound ports be specifically blocked or port isolation is being implemented, notify us so that we can work with your IT team to ensure that the appropriate ports are opened to allow voice traffic.
