Issue

We have received a small number of customer reports indicating that some CabCard terminals are experiencing difficulty establishing a network connection.

We believe this issue is not widespread, and should not affect the majority of our customers.

We are working closely with our network connectivity provider to diagnose and resolve this issue. At the present time we believe that the issue may be related to the ongoing shutdown of 3G networks around the UK.

If you are experiencing this please ensure your terminal is configured not to select 3G networks. To do this:

  1. Press the UP arrow to show the main menu
  2. Select SETTINGS
  3. Select CELLULAR NETWORK
  4. Select CONNECTION TYPE
  5. Ensure AUTO is selected. If any other option is selected (e.g. 3G), change the selection to AUTO and press the green tick button to confirm this.

If you need help completing this procedure, please contact our support team by phone on 0203 9555 400

We will post further information to our status page as it becomes available. Thank you.
