800 Powerline Capture

Whether managing through www.archagent.com or through the automated phone system, this complete guide will show you how to utilize the Powerline™ system to its fullest potential; i.e. how to set up multiple transfers, generate listing or price reduction reports, and track your source digits. Most of these functions can also be performed over the telephone (telephone guide follows).

The Powerline™ Portal will allow you to administrate your ArchAgent system via the Internet. From the portal you can:

  • Edit your mailbox information such as company name, address, and password
  • View your invoices, line item billing records or make a payment
  • Listen to voice mail or view fax mail
  • Edit or add to your instant notifications
  • Create, edit, listen to or delete a recording, or upload a .WAV file voice recording to an extension
  • Upload Pictures to utilize the Mobile Marketing service
  • Download QR Codes

The Powerline™ portal is also where you will view your online service reports for Powerline™, Voice Broadcast, FSBO, or Call Coordinator.

  • Powerline™ reports can be viewed by date range selectable by any query or downloaded via a comma separate variable file.
  • FSBO reports can be viewed by date range. Mileage radius can be edited.
  • Call Coordinator settings can be adjusted, such as days of the week to call, contact information, or enable/disable.
  • Voice Broadcast reports can be viewed as well as all voice messages, databases and history.

All of these operations are performed by logging into our Customer Portal at:

https://portal.archtelecom.com/Portal/Login.aspx
