Sure Signal 1 Not Working After Following Resetting Instructions

Sure Signal Version 1 has worked successfully for nearly 6 years.  I went away with work for 2 weeks and when I returned it has stopped working.

I have following all the eforums and actioned the resetting guidelines as below, but with no success.

 

For version 1 Sure Signal (the one with four lights on the front):

 

The reset button needs to be held in throughout this entire process

 

  • Press and hold down the reset button for 30 seconds
  • The LED’s flash once from top LED to bottom LED in sequence
  • Continue to hold in the reset button and remove the power cable from the VSS for 10 seconds
  • Keep the reset button held in and plug the power cable back into the VSS
  • Wait for the LEDs to flash once from top LED to bottom LED in sequence
  • You can now release the reset button

That’s you IPv6 address. We’ll need the IPv4 address.

 

Can you go to Google.com and type in, ‘what’s my ip address’? It should then give you your external IPv4 address, (along the lines of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where ‘x’ represents a number from 0-255).

Hello Wayne, IPv4 address is showing as 155.250.255.141 .

I work from home so not having an signal on my mobile is causing a lot of issues.  Please can you confirm as soon as possible what actions can be taken to resolve the issue with my SureSignal not working.

Many thanks

I'm sorry for the delay in my reply.

I've checked you IP address and can see it's not set up on our whitelist. I've requested that it's added for you. This can take upto 72 hours to activate. We'll be in touch as soon as we have an update.
