If you ordered Static IP:
☐ Please ensure the individual who manages your IT network is available on the day of your installation
☐ Our technician will assign your static IP addresses while they are onsite, provide you with a unique username and password and help register your device(s) (e.g. Point of Sale terminals, Web/Mail servers, VPN, etc.)
☐ Once complete, you will need to configure the static IP addresses on your devices – these devices will be unavailable until you complete both the registration and configuration
If you ordered Telus Email:
☐ If you have an existing security system, make sure you know where and how your existing equipment is set up so you can walk the technician through it at time of install
☐ During the installation, your TELUS technician will guide you on how to add your emergency contacts in case of an alarm. Please ensure you have your emergency contact information available (name, phone number, level of access)
☐ Once the installation is complete, the technician will demonstrate the features of your system, including how to arm/disarm the equipment and use the TELUS Secure Business mobile app. Ideally, everyone who will be using the system on a daily basis should attend the demonstration. If that's not possible, please plan to have someone over the age of 18 available for the duration of the appointment. This person will need to learn the basic functions and share the information with the other key users
If you are unable to accommodate these requirements or need more time to prepare for your appointment, please contact our support team to cancel or reschedule.
