   Aeris provides at no additional cost to all Neo™ Customers its comprehensive support, Community Support. Community Support offers a host of online resources to help Customers make their experience with the Neo™ services a success.
   Customers can navigate to the Support Page from the Neo website or the AerPort portal to access the wide range of materials. Customers can also leverage the Support Community and post questions and comment on topics related to IoT and cellular connectivity.
2. Aeris Resource Center
   1. Resources. The Aeris Resource Center is the one-stop-shop for the Neo™ services guidance and support. It is where Customers can find access to tutorials, training videos, and support topics.
      Customers visiting the Resource Center get access to a number of critical support topics relevant to every stage of your connected device’s life. This includes guides on how to assign and provision SIM cards, program your device APN, and transmit packet data over the Aeris Network.
   2. Learn to Use the AerPort Portal. The AerPort Portal is the main tool you can use to manage your devices and make the best use of the Aeris Network.
      By navigating to the Resource Center, you will find materials on how to navigate and utilize all of the features of the AerPort Portal.  This includes features that allow you to provision SIMs, manage devices, monitor and diagnose problems, or take devices off the network. You can set up MyAlerts and MyReports to proactively establish usage parameters, manage their device activity, and optimize their use of the Aeris Network in a cost-effective and scalable way.
   3. APIs and Reference Materials. The Resource Center also contains a wealth of reference materials that dive into the details of how to get up and running on the Aeris Network. Many of the AerPort features related to SIM management, device monitoring and troubleshooting are available to Customer applications through the use of Aeris APIs. In order to access the Aeris APIs, Customer applications need to pass an API key to the Aeris server that hosts the interface. The Resource Center provides step-by-step guides on how to find and use each of the relevant Aeris API keys that you will need to interface their applications with the Aeris Network.
      Visitors to the Resource Center can find Aeris code samples that you can use to interface their applications directly with core elements of the Aeris Network.
3. Aeris Support Community
   Customers can also turn to the Support community for assistance. The Support Community is a peer-to-peer network of other customers. Aeris provides a forum for Customers to post questions and start threads on new topics, as well as to respond to other Customers’ questions and posted topics.
   The Support Community forum is actively monitored by trained Aeris support personnel, who can also step in to answer your questions directly or help point you in the right direction.
