Sure Signal Not Working

Hi I’ve had my Sure Signal Box for about 2 weeks and none of my phones are picking up any coverage despite the lights on the front of the box indicating that it is working. I’ve tried re-setting, battery pulls on the 3 different phones which are registered etc but no luck. The system dashboard for my sure signal tells me that I am successfully registered. I seen elsewhere the common questions you have asked users with similar problems and I have therefore included my answers below. Could you have a look at this for me and try and resolve? Many Thanks

Hi rich_wdly,

 

As we've checked all the usual causes of issues, I'd recommend sending the Sure Signal for repair in case the unit is faulty.

Hi NickPoole,

 

I've checked and that Sure Signal hasn't connected to the servers since late April.

 

I've done a resync to try and resolve this, so you'll need to reset the Sure signal box:

 

For Sure Signal version 1 or 2:

  • Hold down the reset button until all the lights show (about 30 seconds)
  • Keeping the reset button held down, remove then re-insert the power lead.
  • Once all lights display release the reset button.
  • The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour.

 

For Sure Signal version 3:

  • Locate the button on the base of the box next to the Ethernet ports.
  • Press and hold the button for approximately 30 seconds.
  • Once the lights come back on, release the button.
  • The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour.

 

If this fails, can you get us this information?
