How to install Cisco CX Success Tracks Level 1 - Extended Service

Activating Cisco CX Success Tracks Level 1 - Extended Service is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and get your devices protected quickly. Start by purchasing the plan through a Cisco partner, reseller, or Cisco’s official channels, ensuring you have the correct device serial numbers and SKUs on hand. You’ll want to confirm eligibility for 8x7 coverage and Next Day service based on your geographic location and the devices covered under the contract.

Next, register the service in the Cisco support portal or through the partner portal associated with your purchase. During registration, link the service to the specific Cisco CX device(s) by entering serial numbers and the relevant SKU(s). This association ensures that your coverage applies directly to the hardware, enabling precise incident routing and faster escalate-to-engineer handling when a problem arises. Keep the service contract number and order details accessible for claim submissions or when coordinating with the service desk.

Select your preferred service windows and Next Day shipping options where applicable. While the Depot-based replacement model means that hardware is typically swapped through the service depot, you may need to provide additional routing information or authorization for the shipment to your site or data center. In many cases, you’ll receive pre-approved replacement parts or devices that are ready to ship the same business day, depending on inventory and location. The activation process also sets expectations for response times, escalation protocols, and the actionable steps technicians will take to diagnose and remediate issues remotely or via depot exchange.

Once activated, you’ll benefit from a streamlined incident flow. If a device fault occurs, open a support ticket via the portal, referencing the serial number and the symptoms observed. Cisco engineers will assess the incident, determine whether remote remediation is possible, or initiate the Next Day depot exchange if hardware replacement is warranted. The aim is to minimize downtime and to return the network to full operation as quickly as possible, with the service-level terms guiding the timing of each step. Regular reviews and renewals help ensure your coverage remains aligned with your evolving network footprint and business needs.

To optimize your experience, maintain up-to-date device inventories and ensure your contact details are current in the portal. Clear asset tagging, accurate SKUs, and timely renewals reduce friction during a support case and help the team prioritize your request efficiently. Remember that the goal of CX Success Tracks Level 1 is to provide you with a reliable, transparent, and cost-effective pathway to keep your Cisco 48-port PoE network healthy in both ordinary and high-demand periods.
