Well today I bought a Vodafone Sure Signal, and in trying to set it up I came across a number of problems that were not too easy to find on the Vodafone website. Below is how I managed to set up my Suresignal.

Firstly, the instruction paper you receive with your Sure Signal (SS) does not state the device will need to download a potentially large amount of updates. When this occurs the power light (The top light), the @ or Internet light (light 2) and the phone light (light 3) will flash in the following sequence:

• 1,2,3 on
• 1,3 on 2 off
• 2 on 1,3 off

This for me on a 8 MB BT business connection lasted approximately 15 mins.

The paper provided with the SS suggests a flashing power light and flashing @ light indicate an inability to connect to the web for some reason, and to check the Sure Signal website for details surrounding the router that I happen to own. The other thing that is worth noting is the following ports to IP addresses are needed to be opened:

Destination IP Addresses:

• 212.183.133.177
• 212.183.133.178
• 212.183.133.179

Ports and Protocols:

• Port 50 - TCP/IP
• Port 4500 - UDP
• Port 500 - UDP

All the above information was constructed by looking through the Vodafone forum at Sure Signal Sequence of lights thread as well as Sure Signal Light 1, Light 2 flashing thread - I hope this helps you set up your SureSignal.
