Fault Lodging Process The fault lodging process was designed to ensure that BITS can operate efficiently and provide highest service quality.

You can lodge the fault to Helpdesk in the following 3 methods:

Normal – By Logging on to IT Service Desk 1) Logon to http://www.itservicedesk.uwa.edu.au with your staff ID and Pheme

password 2) Once logged in, click Create New to lodge a new request 3) Type in your name in the Caller/Affected user field 4) Type in your request in the Comment field 5) Click Submit (OK) 6) The request will then be allocated to one of the CSOs

Normal – By Lodging a Web Ticket 1) I.T help may be requested via http://www.business.uwa.edu.au/staffnet/it/help_ticket 2) Helpdesk will call the user back to try to resolve on the phone 3) If unresolved, a ticket will be lodged and will be escalated to the CSOs

High Urgency# - By Telephone 1) Contact the helpdesk on ext. 7888. 2) Helpdesk will try to resolve the issue on the first call 3) If unresolved, a ticket will be lodged and will be escalated to the CSOs

* Please note that respond time is the amount of time for BITS to acknowledge the fault had been entered on our ticketing system. The resolution time will vary depending on the urgency of the incidents/request and the availability of the CSOs. Helpdesk tickets lodged by email will be monitored at by several CSOs. # High urgency refers to IT matters that affect all staff or that may result in a negative impact on the Business School.

Remote Access Service Remote access service simply allows staff members to remotely access UWA I.T resources such as remote controlling your Desktop PC or remote access the shared folders.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows a user of a network to remotely access another (UWA) network via the Internet. VPN allow UWA staff with a University laptop to continue working remotely on the same laptop environment.

(Source: http://dingetje.homeip.net/howto/VPN/)

RDC (Remote Desktop Control) RDC allows user to remotely control your UWA desktop computer and simulate the remote screen locally on your PC at home. This method is the easiest to use as all settings are kept on your desktop in the University office. This method requires 2 steps:

1) VPN (Virtual Private Network) 2) RDC (Remote Desktop Control)

Note: RDC is best suited for staff using their personal desktop PC at home to access University resources. Laptop users can simply use VPN to access University resources.
