Hi, I need to speak to a Vodafone representative regarding adding a number of blocks of IP subnets to the Vodafone whitelist database.
We are an ISP in the UK and have 100's of unhappy SureSignal users who are ready to throw their SureSignals out the window and cancel their contracts with Vodafone if this issue is not resolved.
Please can you contact me to help facilitate getting these users back online.
Contact details are;
Martyn Boswell or Richard Allison (Tech)

Hi DaveCD,
Do you know if it is now active on the whitelist?
Thanks

Hi LNC-Martyn,
Unfortunately we haven’t had an update yet however I have chased this for you today and will respond on this thread once it has been completed.

If you have any comments regarding how I have handled your query today, please complete our short feedback survey.

Hi DaveCD
I can confirm that this relates to the whole 146.255.104.0/21 subnet
I have also now obtained a Sure Signal for testing and reset as instructed, but it does not come online when connected directly to our core network (on DHCP with public IP address, so rules out any NAT issues).
Assuming the whitelist for this subnet is now updated then this points to another cause.
Any advice would be welcome, as this is causing great frustration for many of our customers.
Kindest regards
David

Hi boundlesscomms
Thank you for your post.:smileyhappy:
I can see that both of these ranges have been added to our whitelist so it does point to another issue.
I’d like to help to resolve this VSS (Vodafone Sure Signal) issue for you, but to do this I will need to take some further information from you.
Can you post the following results to this thread?
The sequence of lights on your device.
Traceroute.
And finally, your VSS serial number.
Many Thanks
DaveCD

Hin Tech Team,
Having finally got my SS ( 2 of them working) after 2 weeks of the dreaded red light only, I recently swapped my BT broadband to a fixed IP. Nopthing else has changed ( either hardware or software ) on my system. The SS still worked fine, until, about 3 days later we had a power cut. Both SS are now sitting with constant red power light and 2 flashing wite lights ( have been for 96 hours ! ) Have tried several resets and have asked Vodafone technical help to reset the boxes.
Details are
SS - Mill 1 serial No 40112840612
SS - Mill 2 serial no 40120543554
Fixed BT IP 81.133.26.102 ( Can you please check this is on your whitelist) - BT Home Hub 3 Business Infinity

Hi DaveCD
Many thanks for the note
The details requested are as follows: -

My Laptop IP address is currently 146.255.111.248 (the VSS is 146.255.111.243 with no firewall or NAT)

Hi Everyone
@whm - Thanks for your post here. Your IP address is on our white list so we know that isn’t the issue here.
Can you try this for me?
o Hold in the reset button until all the light go solid
o Pull the power lead out with the reset button still pushed in
o Continue to hold down the reset button and reconnect the power lead
o Wait for all of the lights to come on the release the reset button
The VSS will now try to contact the network and download its profile. This may take anything up to 6 hours.
@Slinkyri – Thanks for your post here.
I’m sorry to hear that you want to leave us.
Please bear in mind this is a technical help forum designed for the very specific purpose of customer airing their technical issues. The very nature of technical forums dictates that customers rarely sign up to a forum and post that there service is working as it should.
Based on the thousands of customers who own Sure Signal units, the proportion of people who have set up issues are very small and 9 times out of 10 the issue is due to the vast array of varying ISP/Router configurations.
Please let us know if you want to give the Sure Signal a chance and we’ll be happy to help guide you through the set up should you encounter any hiccups.
@boundlesscomms – I have requested that your IP address be added to our white list.
Thanks
Wayne

Hi Wayne
Many thanks for the response.
DaveCD has already stated that our two /21 subnets have already been added to your whitelist? Does the block on the tracert suggest that this is not true?
For clarity, the addresses are: -
- 146.255.104.0/21 (146.255.104.1 - 146.255.111.254)
- 164.138.80.0/21 (164.138.80.1 - 164.138.87.254)
Kindest regards

Hi boundlesscomms,
The IP ranges have been added to the white list and I have double checked these for you today.
When it comes to the traceroute, they will always stop after 85.205.116.14 as this is our server and cannot be pinged due to the security setup on the server.
Can you confirm if you are still experiencing issues?
If yes, what light sequence do you know see and has the Sure signal been reset since the IP ranges were added for you?
