Changed my ISP to BT yesterday now the VSS3 is not working, I have power cycled the VSS3 a couple of times, but the red power light flashes and the handset light solid amber! Worked fine until the change yesterday, do I need a re-synch from tech support guys?

Hi David,

 

Thanks for the information you've given, everything looks fine. When you change ISP, this will affect your IP address and can prevent the Sure Signal from working correctly. To make sure it’s up-to-date, I’ve just resynced it for you and, to make sure it completes, can you perform a factory reset:-

 

  • Press the button on the foot of the device by the Ethernet sockets
  • Hold it in for approximately 30 seconds
  • When the lights come back on, release the button
  • The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour

Let me know how you go on.

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

Hi,
Tried the factory reset last night, unfortunately it doesn't seem to have worked. The unit still has the same lights as before, flashing power and solid amber handset light.
Thanks,
David

Hi dmm2101,

 

From what you have said it sounds like there is a problem with the Sure Signal connecting through your new ISP.

 

Can I ask if you have gone through the port forwarding instructions here?

 

James

Hi James,

 

No I haven't tried that will try it and let you know.

 

Thanks,

David

Hi,

 

Some progress, but still not working.

After setting up the port forwarding and port clamping on my BT Home Hub3, I now have an additional light on the VSS3.

I now have the 3rd (Service (I think)) light on solid amber as well as the 4th Use light solid amber, power still flashing.

So from left to right, I have red power flashing, and 3rd & 4th lights solid amber.

 

Thanks,

David
