Remote Support Module (RSM) Power Cycling Guide
What is a Remote Support Module?
Our Remote Support Module (RSM) is a small device located at your site, allowing us to remotely manage your phone system. Occasionally, the RSM may go offline due to various reasons, such as:
- Network Changes: Updates to your network settings or equipment (e.g., router or firewall changes) may interrupt the RSM's connection.
- Site Conditions: Power fluctuations or environmental factors (e.g., heat or moisture) in the equipment area could temporarily disrupt the RSM.
- Device Updates: Automatic updates to the RSM’s firmware or software may sometimes require a manual restart.
- Power Interruptions: Brief power outages or disconnects may leave the RSM unresponsive until it’s restarted.
When the RSM goes offline, our first troubleshooting step is to request a simple reboot, which often resolves the issue. If the power cycle does not restore the RSM’s connection, we may need to schedule a technician visit to investigate further.

Let us know once you've completed the steps, so we can confirm that the RSM is back online.
If the RSM does not come back online after a power cycle, please inform us. We may need to arrange for a technician to visit and resolve the issue on-site.
