SureSignals not working after Internet Provider change

I'm hoping for help from Technical Support; we have 3 SureSignals in various buildings and historically they have worked well. However, we recently changed Internet service providers and all three have stopped working. The 2 SureSignal V3 devices both have a flashing red light and 2 permanently orange symbols.  I have tried resetting them, but to no avail. Past issues have sometimes been solved by Vodafone doing a re-sync, but I don't know how to get this organised.

 

The 3 devices have the following serial numbers:

 

40132114964

42151159904

21224660437

 

All help gratefully received.

Hi @riprap

 

Thanks for getting back to us. 

 

I've done a resync on your Sure Signal devices. 

 

Please wait 24 hours and perform a reset on them. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Amanda 

OK, been away and now returned to find that they still aren't working!

 

So, if we can consentrate on just one of them and see if that can be got working I would be grateful.

 

I have therefore done the following after reading more posts than I would have thought possible on SureSignal issues...

 

1). I had deregistered the SureSignal with S/n 42151159904

 

2). I have set it up with it's own static public IP: 81.150.192.243

 

3). I have confirmed that all the required ports are open from the Vodafone server IPs

 

4). I have re-registered the SureSignal with S/n 42151159904 (leaving a gap of about 4 hours after deregistration)

 

I have the following lights on the Suresignal: Solid Red & slow flashing white internet....

 

Cheers

I would be grateful for any help.

 

I have two Sure Signals, both of which will not connect after a change of service provider and firewall.

 

Concentrating on only one for now; I have BT Infinity with a Dratek Vigor 3900 firewall. I have set up a Policy Route to give this Sure Signal its own public IP (the 3900 does not offer address mapping as my previous firewall did) and opened all the necessary ports and firewall rules for traffic from the SureSignal servers to get to the local static IP I have assigned the Sure Signal. 

 

On the Sure Signal, all I get is a flashing red power light and the service and user lights both static orange.

 

From another post, a helpful user suggested that as I had not had my Sure Signals connected for some time, they may have been barred and I should contact Vodafone to get them re-enabled which I did.

 

However, this made no difference to the light the Sure Signal shows.

 

Another user suggested I should set up the Sure Signal in the Vigor 3900's DMZ as this would allow the Sure Signal be exposed to the internet without any restrictions, but on its own public IP address. Whilst this seemed a bit extreme, it did seem like a good test and so I thought I would give it a try and the lights on my Sure Signal have indeed changed - but it still does not work.   

 

Now I have a steady red power light and a slow flashing white internet light

 

This Sure Signal serial number is 42151159904

 

Any help/suggestions gratefully received.
