Sure Signal - Flashing Red light 2 static orange lights

Hi there,

 

I have been trying to set up the latest Sure Signal device on my corporate network and not having much luck with it. I get a falshing power light and and 2 static orange lights.

 

I have reserved an ip from our DHCP pool and assigned it via its MAC and can see and ping it ok.

 

I have set up a rule on our Sonicwall NSA E5500 firewall to allow the VSS to any destination using the the TCP & UDP ports mentioned in the other post on this site.

 

when carrying out a tracert to 212.183.133.177 is get the following results:

 

Tracing route to cluster4.vap.vodafone.co.uk [212.183.133.177]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

A ping test gives me:

0% packet loss

10ms Ping

10ms Jitter

 

My external IP is 109.231.236.66

 

Line speeds are

 

36Mbps Down

30Mbps Up

 

Please can you advise.

 

Many thanks.

I'm running out of useful things to suggest :Sad_face:

 

I've seen people running fine over a Virgin connection, and that IPSEC option is normally all that needs to be altered.

 

Have you reset the suresignal since changing ISP, not sure why that would make a difference, but it could be stuck in some kind of old connection loop

I have the same issue can you check my IP is on the whitelist please

I've checked and can see the IP address is matched in our whitelist.

 

The light sequence in this thread is due to a hardware failure.

 

Please reset the Sure Signal.

 

If you're still having issues, please provide the following:

 

  • The Sure Signal Serial number
  • The results of a traceroute

 

 

VSS Traceroute command

 

    • On a PC:
    • Click on Start and select Run
    • Type CMD into the Run box and press enter/click ok
    • A black box will appear
    • In this box type tracert 212.183.133.177 press Enter
    • Paste the output of this command into your reply

 

This will help us get the quickest possible resolution for you.

Hi Tech Support,

We have the same issues. 

Please can you check our external IP address 81.139.208.167 is on the whitelist and if required request it to be added.

Our VSS serial no. is 43151210929

 

Many thanks for your support in advance!

 

Kind Regards

Mike

@mparkhurst - Please try a factory reset of the Sure Signal:

 

  1. Connect device to internet and power supply
  2. Press and hold down reset button – located near the internet port
  3. Wait for 20 seconds
  4. Release the reset button
  5. All the LEDs will temporarily switch off for about 10 seconds. The power LED will then light up and remain constant whilst white internet LED flashes continuously.

Also please check that your Sure Signal has been assigned an internal IP address by your router.

 

The Sure Signal must be assigned an internal IP address by your router. If your router supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), this must be enabled as doing so will enable the router to assign an IP address to your Sure Signal automatically.

 

For more instructions on how to do this, please check your router manual or contact your ISP or router manufacturer.

 

If your router or network configuration doesn’t allow DHCP, you’ll need to assign a static IP address to your Sure Signal's MAC Address by using your router's configuration panel. Please contact your ISP or router manufacturer for instructions on how to do this. The MAC address can be found on the sticker at the back of the Sure Signal.

Hi Charles,

I have tried the reset function a few times now everytime time checking that the device has successfully connected with DHCP assigned but still no luck with the same light status.

The unit is less than 6 months old and we moved office where the device was working fine.

Any further advice before we change it?

 

Thanks Mike

Can you make sure that you’re opened all the relevant ports?

 

Manually configure your router to allow port-forwarding.
In most cases, routers support a system called Universal Plug-n-Play (UPnP), which sets up port-forwarding for you automatically. If you’ve got a complicated network setup, or a complex router, you may need to enter these settings manually.

Please see the following for a list of port numbers and IP addresses that need to be forwarded to your Sure Signal's internal IP address. For instructions on how to do this, we recommend you contact your ISP or Router Manufacturer, or refer to the default guide for your particular make and model, over at http://portforward.com.
