Using Peregrine Networks’ Customer Portal

The Customer Portal allows customers to manage their accounts, make bill payments, and change their personal information when needed. This article will walk you through the various pages and tabs available within the Customer Portal and provide some examples of common actions you can take.

The Login Page

The first page you’ll have access to when you’re first provided an account to the portal. In most cases, when you sign up for a service with Peregrine Networks, you’ll be sent an email that will provide your username and initial password, along with a link to Peregrine’s Portal page login.

Customer Portal Pages

Once you’re logged in to the Customer Portal, you’ll be greeted first with the Billing Page, which we’ll explore first:

The Billing Page

The Billing page provides an overview of your account status with Peregrine Networks. It reflects your current account balance while also providing details on your payment information and generated invoices. This is the page you’ll land on as soon as you log in to your Customer Portal account.
