Can anyone advise me on how to get my sure signal v1 working with the new SKY hub as we have no mobile connectivity at all.

 

contacted sky who told me to go to sagem web site but all I get is a blank screen when I go to FAQ and click on the answers!

 

So frustrating.

Hi Welshie,

 

If you’ve still not got a connection, check to make sure the following ports are open/forwarded on your router:-

 

Port Number

 

8          TCP      UDP

50         TCP      UDP

53         TCP      UDP

67                     UDP

68                     UDP

123                   UDP

500                   UDP

1723     TCP      UDP

4500                 UDP

33434 - 33445    UDP

 

I’ve also asked for the latest firmware to be pushed out to your device.

 

This can take up to 24 hours to go through so, during this time, don’t reset or unplug the unit.

 

Let me know how you get on.

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

Hi Welshie

 

Thanks for providing your Traceroute, everything looks ok. Your IP address is on our whitelist. Your speed test and ping test seem fine.

 

To make sure it's up to date on our network I’ve given the SS a re sync from our end, can factory reset to complete the process?

 

VSS Factory Reset

* Hold the reset button till all the lights come on or flash (about 30 seconds)
* Keeping the rest button held, remove and re-insert the power lead
* Once all the lights come on or flash, release the reset button
* The VSS should come online within the hour

 

Thanks

Can anyone please help with my sure signal version 1 and my sky hub...

I have been trying for months, my sure signalonly shows the top two flashing green lights. I have opened all the ports as far as I am able and still no joy. Could it be a MER issue? I am a Paramedic who responds of duty and use my mobile at home but the signal is non existant.

My IP address for SS is 192.168.0.3 as far as I am aware, i'm not that IT aware.

Frustration is huge and I really need this sure signal back up and running.

 

Many thanks... Martin

Hi martsar,

 

The top light flashing often indicates a fault with the Sure Signal unit.

 

Make sure it's in a well-ventilated area to ensure it doesn't overheat. I'd also try unplugging it for a while to see if that clears things.

 

If not, try giving it a factory reset:

 

  • Unplug the ethernet cable from the Sure Signal
  • 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.
  • Plug the cable back in
  • Allow around one hour for the Sure Signal to come back online.

 

If that doesn't sort things, confirm the following for me:

 

 - Your Sure Signal serial number.

 - Your speed test results from here.
 - Your ping test results from here.
 - Your external IP address from here. The one listed above doesn't appear to be correct.


Also, run a traceroute and post the results here:

 

On a PC

- Click on Start and select Run.

- Type CMD into the Run box and press enter/click ok.

- A black box will appear.

- In this box type tracert 212.183.133.177 and press Enter.

 

On a Mac

- Open Terminal (Applications, Utilities).

- Type traceroute 212.183.133.177 and press Enter.
