MACD Support Guide
AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco MACD Overview
➢ Upon successful turn-up of AT&T’s SD-WAN with Cisco
service, customers can easily submit move, add, change and
disconnect (MACD) requests via AT&T’s Business Center
portal to manage their service. The portal provides access
to the CR Web tool which allows customers (or approved
AT&T sales partners) to submit MACD requests which
ultimately get routed to the assigned AT&T Managed
Solutions Implementation Manager (MSIM) for processing.
➢ Although the portal is the preferred method, customers
and/or AT&T Sales partners can also reach out to the
assigned AT&T Managed Solutions Implementation
Manager (MSIM) directly via email or phone.
➢ AT&T’s MSIM ensures the appropriate MACD support
resources are engaged and manages prompt completion of
the request.
