“支援服務記錄”為您提供完善而有效率的客戶服務處理，使用這項獨特的功能，您可以集中管理所有經由商店發出的查詢，更可擺脫以往依靠電子郵件的零碎方式。

無論顧客針對一般事項、產品、訂單、以及合作的諮詢，所有雙方的對答都會被獨立而順序地記錄，而且在檢視處理進度裡，雙方都能由下至上了解當前的最近狀態。

您的每一項回覆，查詢者可透過點擊專用的網址超連結，直接檢視您的回覆細節，更可在需要時在同一頁面發表回應。

由於每項查詢記錄都有獨立的隨機產生“編碼”，所以查詢者無需依靠輸入密碼等煩瑣程序，便能透過“專用超連結”直接到達專屬的查詢記錄區域，而其他第三者是無法得述當中資訊。

我們強列建議您或其他相關的管理員，直接依賴這項“支援服務記錄”集中處理所有客服查詢，並且放棄舊模式的電子郵件作業。

進入“支援服務記錄”：
1. 點擊主選單的“訊息中心/電子報”
2. 點擊左選單的“支援服務記錄”
每項“支援服務記錄”包含的資料：
- 答覆查詢
  透過“浮動按鈕”進行回覆行動
  - 最近的回應

  - 回應職員
    如有多位職員的情況下，選擇一位合適的職員
  - 回應狀態
    選擇一種合適的當前狀態
  - 郵件內付回覆內容
    是否在回覆郵件內付答覆的內容，如沒付有，查詢者只能點擊“專用超連結”到達網站檢視細節

注意事項：
- 若要修改“支援服務記錄”裡可用的“回應部門”、“回應職員”、“回應狀態”等名稱，請前往“系統設定”的“支援服務記錄”進行，而這些名稱資料強列建議於“初始設定”時處理，以避免日後修改對已建立的查詢出現影響
- 在“支援服務記錄”裡選用的各種名稱，例如“回應部門”、“回應職員”、“回應狀態”等，只屬方便辨認的稱呼
- 在一般情況下，應直接使用系統的“支援服務記錄”處理收到的查詢要求，並且不應用傳統的電子郵件進行回覆，若只以電子郵件處理查詢，系統將無法記錄有關資料
- 如果您使用其他途徑發出回覆，例如一般電子郵件往來，訊息將會被系統忽略而無法記錄，若收到查詢者只以電子郵件提問，請指示查詢者前往網站建立正式的“支援服務記錄”，以便往後的訊息能一一被系統記錄
- 您應直接負責所有的客服工作，因此請勿將查詢者發出的“查詢內容”提交給我們處理，若需我們跟進這類支援，每綜第三方支援收費為港幣1200起，並且需事先付款

文字輸入處理
文字輸入處理

對於商貿網站而言，內容文字佔著整體美觀感的重要環節，每頁適當地以整齊編排和簡短字數表達意思，可令訪問者看得容易理解和輕鬆，亦增強貴公司的企業型像。

在我們的系統裏已內置了容易操作的HTML編輯器，可針對產品內容簡介及各訊息頁面進行編輯或修改，這編輯器的基本使用方式跟普通文書處理軟件很接近，如有一般文書處理的經驗，在使用上應很快熟習，當然我們仍建議在正式編輯資料前先模擬試驗多次，可減少錯誤的出現。

以下是一些文字編排的注意事項：
- 除英文字元外，中文、日文和韓文(如有)，可為每個字元加空格以增加美觀
- 英文和數字請採用標準字元，請盡量不要輸入全型字元
- 應刪除所有整段文字的開頭、結尾的空格和空行。
- 特別的符號、“注音中文字”或“香港增補字符集”( http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/ )乃非標準字元，部份訪問者的電腦未有裝設此類字集，會出現亂碼情況，所以應盡量不要採用
- 如需輸入日文和韓文或其他雙位元文字，請自行了解相關的非標準字元問題，並應盡量不要採用
- 在相同頁面請勿同時存在英文以外的多種語言文字，例如中文加日文等，因會出現統一碼 (Unicode)不相容問題，引致出現亂碼情況
- 除標準英文字元外，其他文字均有一套相關的編碼，例如繁體中文是big5，簡體中文是gb，日文是shift-jis和EUC，每套編碼均不相同，所以應注意當輸入文字時，各種語言均不能同時存在(英文除外)，另外，當輸入時應注意所使用的電腦操作系統語言版本，例如以Windows輸入繁體中文，則該Windows必須是繁體版，其他亦然，因現時的電腦操作系統均為多語系相容，並可顯示各種語言文字，但實際輸入的文字在傳送到何服器時的編碼可能不同，並影響儲存或出現亂碼等問題
- 所有文字或圖型的編排應以簡單為基礎，因太複雜的編排會令訪問下載頁面增加需時，並可能出現無法整頁展示等問題
- 使用我們的HTML編輯器除了手作輸入外，亦可從其他途徑複制內容及貼上，但應注意勿貼上Microsoft Word的內容，因Microsoft Word的資料包含很多非必要而看不見的定義標籤，會令檔案增大及影響輸出
- 完成輸入後應預覽效果並在需要時作出修正
系統資料的輸入

所有數值相關的資料，例如售價、運費、數量等資料，只可使用“數字”和“.”，絕不可包含“英文字母”和“其他符號”。

正確的數值：
- 10
- 100
- 1000.5
- 10000.50
- 100000.50
- 1000000.50
- 10000000
不正確的數值：
- 10+
  包含了符號
- 一百
  系統不能辨認中國數字
- [1000.5]
  包含了符號
- １００００．５０
  系統不能辨認全型數字
- Ten Hundred Thousand
  系統不能辨認英文數目語法
- 1,000,000.50
  無需加入千位分隔點
- HK$10000000
  無需加入貨幣碼
關於中文資料的輸入

系統預設資料庫是“繁體中文”，所有中文文字、語句均應以“繁體中文”輸入，在網站上的“簡體中文”是由系統自動轉換而成的。

Google 7.68 Terabits Per Second Cable
Google 7.68 Terabits Per Second Cable

Search giant finalizes plan for Pacific fiber being ran.

The recent quakes in Taiwan highlighted a lack of redundancy in the Pacific, where fiber runs have about half the capacity found across the Atlantic. A number of companies are planning to rectify that -- including Verizon, who is working with a number of companies to run an 11,000 mile, five terabits per second (Tbps) cable from the United States (Oregon) directly to mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea.

Google is also laying Pacific fiber as part of a consortium named Unity, formed alongside six international companies. The coalition is building a 6,200 mile, 7.68Tbps capable fiber run from Los Angeles to Chikura, located off the coast near Tokyo. Google today announced they finalized the deal on the $300 million project. According to the press release Trans-pacific bandwidth demand continues to surge:

According to the TeleGeography Global Bandwidth Report, 2007, Trans–Pacific bandwidth demand has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 63.7 percent between 2002 and 2007. It is expected to continue to grow strongly from 2008 to 2013, with total demand for capacity doubling roughly every two years. "The Unity cable system allows the members of the consortium to provide the increased capacity needed as more applications and services migrate online, giving users faster and more reliable connectivity," said Unity spokesperson Jayne Stowell.

It's obviously a nice deal for Google, given the content operator gets access to bandwidth at build cost. NEC Corporation and Tyco Telecommunications will build the fiber run starting immediately, and it should be completed by 2010, assuming that the undersea cable cutting bogeyman leaves them alone.

如何利用異地備份隬補防毒軟件的不足

如何利用異地備份隬補防毒軟件的不足

從世衛在2009年4月24號發出的第一個人類豬流感個案開始，至今已有76個國家和超過3萬感染個案而豬流感病毒變種的問題也成為了全球關注的話題。其實在電腦的世界，惡性攻擊病毒每天在不斷的增加、更新和改變，而企業往往就因為病毒入侵而造成數據丟失和摧毀的受害者。如何防範數據丟失帶來的災難性影響，是企業I.T.部門經常要面對的挑戰。

企業單靠病毒掃描軟件並不足夠

根據美國FBI 2005的研究指出，約84%的公司會受到惡性病毒的攻擊。另外，美國網絡安全協會(Cyber Secure Institute) 的報告指出，企業為了清除各項病毒的花費高達90億美元！無論您為電腦做再好的隔離措施，例如擁有最新的防病毒軟件和頻密的病毒掃描，病毒也可以找到辦法入侵電腦系統然後摧毀公司重要的檔案，例如客戶清單、合約和訂單等等。公司因為數據丟失和內部電腦系統故障影響而到商譽也絕非金錢能隬補。所以，企業要防範數據丟失帶來的災難性影響，單靠病毒掃描軟件並不足夠。

設立災難性回復方案才能治本

其實要解決以上問題就要從根本著手，第一步就是要為企業電腦系統設立有效和快速的災難復原方案 (Disaster Recovery Solution)，而當中最重要的一環便是為每台電腦作鏡像備份(Image Backup)，這樣，當遇到病毒入侵造成數據丟失，企業便可快速地把事先備份好電腦鏡像直接恢復到電腦上，把受到感染或是有故障的電腦復原到正常狀態，確保企業持續運作，儲存於電腦內的業務數據亦能得以保存。

有資深企業備份經驗的Ahsay 銷售部經理候健生指出：「如何為企業設立有效和快速的災難復原方案是一個很大的課題，大小企業都需要正視。但對中小企來說，由於資源所限，加上公司內未必有專門負責I.T.方面的人員，所以很多中小企都未有實行。其實坊間都有不少能夠提供鏡像備份(Image Backup)的備份軟件，可以滿足基本備份需要。但這些軟件只能夠作本地備份，一旦公司的電腦受到病毒侵襲，用作儲存備份的電腦或伺服器亦可能已經中毒，導致已備份的鏡像無法還原而不能做到災難復原。所以企業應選擇具備異地鏡像備份的備份軟件，才能確保災難復原能發揮功效，因為就算本地公司內所有電腦和伺服器都已經中毒，儲存於異地的鏡像備份數據亦不會受到感染，企業便可快速地把電腦鏡像直接從異地恢復到電腦上，達至災難復原的目的。而Ahsay Backup Software 是市場上少數可以做到異地鏡像備份的企業備份方案。」

關於Ahsay

Ahsay Systems Corporation (亞勢系統有限公司) 建基於香港，目前在世界各地已擁有超過2, 900個服務合作夥伴和經銷商，並有超過90萬用戶安裝了Ahsay Backup Software備份軟件。

Glossary

Domain name
Domain name

On the Internet, the domain name stores and associates many types of information with domain names; most importantly, it translates domain names (computer hostnames) to IP addresses. It also lists mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain. In providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, DNS is an essential component of contemporary Internet use.

Useful for several reasons, the domain name pre-eminently makes it possible to attach easy-to-remember domain names (such as "ec2biz.com") to hard-to-remember IP addresses (such as 202.123.84.161). People take advantage of this when they recite URLs and e-mail addresses. In a subsidiary function, the domain name system makes it possible for people to assign authoritative names without needing to communicate with a central registrar each time.

HTML5 is currently under development as the next major revision of the HTML page standard.

Like its immediate predecessors, HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, HTML5 is a standard for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. The new standard incorporates features like video playback and drag-and-drop that have been previously dependent on third-party browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Google Gears.

ISP
ISP

An Internet service provider (abbr. ISP, also called Internet access provider or IAP) is a business or organization that provides to consumers access to the Internet and related services.

In the past, most ISPs were run by the phone companies. Now, ISPs can be started by just about any individual or group with sufficient money and expertise. In addition to Internet access via various technologies such as dial-up and DSL, they may provide a combination of services including Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, web hosting, and colocation.

BMP (Bit Mapped)
BMP (Bit Mapped)

The BMP (bit mapped) format is used internally in the Microsoft Windows operating system to handle graphics images. These files are typically not compressed resulting in large files.

The main advantage of BMP files is their wide acceptance, simplicity, and use in Windows programs. However, they may pose problems for users of other operating systems. Commonly, BMP files are used for Microsoft's Paint program. Since most BMP files are uncompressed, and BMP's RLE compression has serious limits[citation needed], the large size of BMP files makes them unsuitable for file transfer. However, Bit Map images are suitable for background images and wallpapers. This is especially true for screen shots. In addition, images from scanners are usually stored in BMP files.

In other words, you need to check your mail first, only then you can send your messages.

To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers address.

In this tutorial we will learn how to setup Outlook Express with POP Before SMTP Relay.

Setup fetch email using Google Gmail

Why Should I Use Fetch Mail Instead of an Email Forwarder?

We are committed to improving the stability of services.

Unfortunately, it is very common for mail forwarding to cause blacklisting with many large email providers. This most commonly occurs when large amounts of mail are forwarded and then marked as spam after it has been received in the end user's inbox. This results in our server's sending reputation being penalized since it was the last server to send the mail. Ultimately, our server will be blacklisted with the email provider and it will affect all of other users on the same server.

A solution to this is to disabled mail forwarding altogether. change to using mail fetcher, you can access mail in a other system without having the mail routed through that system's server. This way, you can mark a message as spam without it affecting our email server's reputation.

The instructions below provide steps on how to fetch mail from our server so you can access them via Google Mail.

Google Mail Fetcher is easy to set up and free to use. It uses POP3 to pull all the contents of an email box into Gmail and then parses the emails for spam. Mail Fetcher can download messages from up to five other email accounts, allowing you to centralize all your email in Gmail.

Once Mail Fetcher is set up, Google will check those accounts on a regular basis, and new mail will appear automatically in Gmail.
- Log into your Gmail account.
- Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page and select Settings.
- Click the Settings and Accounts and Import tab and locate the Check mail from other accounts (using POP3) section.
- Click Add a POP3 mail account you own. (Note: Google does not allow the use of self-signed SSL certificates, including our shared SSL certificates.)
- Enter the full email address of the account from which you'd like mail fetched.
- Click Next Step.
- In the Username field, enter your full email address.
- In the Password field, enter the password for the email address you provided.
- Select Port 110 for a POP3 connection.
- Click the checkboxes next to the options that best suit your needs:
  - Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server.
  - Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail *
  - Label incoming messages
  - Archive incoming messages
- Click Add Account.
Attention
- As a convenience to users, we provide information about how to use certain third-party products, but we do not have technical support third-party products. we are not responsible for the functions or reliability of such products.
