How to install Cisco Smart Net Total Care Extended Service

Because this offering is a service contract rather than a traditional software or hardware install, activation involves registering the device and contract with Cisco so that coverage is linked to your X Celle equipment. To initiate activation, collaborate with your Cisco account team or authorized reseller to confirm the exact contract terms, attach the corresponding device identifiers (serial numbers or SKUs), and finalize the service start date. Once activated, your organization gains immediate access to 24x7 phone support, with the guarantee of a four-hour on-site response window should on-premises intervention be required. The Service Interconnect feature is enabled as part of the contract to streamline escalation and communications between Cisco’s support ecosystem and your IT operations. If you anticipate on-site service, prepare the device locations, access instructions, and any required facility access details to ensure smooth scheduling and timely intervention.

Typical activation steps include establishing a service entitlement in the Cisco service portal, confirming coverage for the intended devices, and coordinating with a Cisco account manager or authorized partner to schedule onboarding activities. While there is no software to install in the traditional sense, ensure your device inventory is up-to-date within your asset management system so that the precise SKUs for X Celle hardware are registered under the Smart Net Total Care contract. This alignment is crucial for accurate entitlements, eligibility for next-step support actions, and the ability to leverage the full benefits of 24x7 access and rapid on-site service when needed.

Maintenance of the service—in particular, ensuring that devices remain within supported firmware baselines and that any required hardware refresh cycles are planned—helps maximize uptime. Regular reviews with your Cisco account executive can optimize coverage for evolving network needs, capacity, and security requirements. The Extended Service is designed to adapt to your environment, so you can adjust for growth, hardware refreshes, or changes in your deployment without sacrificing the continuity of support that Smart Net Total Care provides.
