Customer Center: Shop for Equipment  KB0018241

This article explains the procedure for ordering new Equipment to accompany a new Service Request. 

Note: You must shop for the Service first and then add Equipment to the request. In this way, the Equipment is associated with the Service. If you add the Equipment to the request before adding the Service, there is no way to associate it within the Cart. You will need to remove the Equipment and start again. 

Note: Please do NOT order Stand-alone Equipment if you are replacing a phone with an active phone line. Please refer to the Order a Replacement Phone article. If you still have questions, contact Customer Service (57099, option 3) for assistance.

  1.  Hover over the Shopping menu and select Equipment to open the Equipment Catalog Categories page.

  2. On the left side of the screen, you will notice a section labeled Request Information. You can select an Owner (Dept OUC) and Billing Account (GLA) for your request, saving time during checkout as these fields will autofill the Edit Item Information for every item in your cart.
    Note: Skip to step 3 if your request contains items that will be billed to separate GLAs.

        Attach to a Service
    2. If you are ordering Stand-Alone Equipment, such as a wall mount kit or patch cables, you can choose to Create a New Request or add the item to any Saved Requests you may have.
