Using the Portal – Knowledgebase

Overview

The Inter.link portal is a quick and easy way to explore existing services and order new ones on the same port.

Portal Features

Here are some of the key features that make the portal so helpful.

Signing up for the portal only requires some basic information (name, email, and password).

The most important information should be easy to find, not hidden. That’s the idea behind the Inter.link dashboard.

Customers can find everything from the latest news and products from Inter.link to general news from the network industry.

It is easy to add more people to a company profile in the portal and to configure what permissions they have.

Additionally, when customers invite anyone to join, they will receive an invitation and the invitation status (invitation sent) will be shown.

The portal has been designed to be customisable.

Customers can build their exact solution based on location, prefix, port speed, and more.

The Inter.link portal is connected directly with PeeringDB.

This means all it takes is the AS Number and the portal will automatically pull and populate the relevant information, such as AS-SET and prefix limit.

Once a service is purchased, it will automatically be displayed on the dashboard with the current status.

Any changes can be made by clicking a few buttons rather than digging through layers of information.

The Inter.link tickets page allows customers to see the status, type, escalation, and priority of their created tickets all on in place.

Users can also receive a quick overview of when tickets were created and last updated.

Inter.link has made billing as transparent as possible, allowing customers to see the status of all of their orders in one place.

There’s also no more hunting for an invoice since it can be downloaded with one click.
