Cause

Your meter cannot complete the connection to Pitney Bowes.

Resolution

Solution 1: Clear the error message

  1. Select Clear Message to clear the error.
  2. Check for green/amber or orange/amber lights where your network cable plugs into the back of your meter:
    1. If you see lights, your network cable is connected.
    2. If you see no lights, make sure both ends of the network cable are plugged in securely.
If clearing your error does not resolve your issue, try solution 2.

Solution 2: Restart the machine

  1. Select the gear icon from the lower right corner of the home screen.
  2. Select Shut Down from the menu.
  3. Select Shut Down from the pop-up.
  4. Wait for the display and blue light to go out. This may take a few minutes.
  5. Press the Power button.
  6. Clear any errors and test the connection.
If restarting your machine does not resolve your issue, try solution 3.

Solution 3: Run the Network Test

If the meter is on version 24 or higher the error code will have a button to run the network test. The network test is the best way to find out what the meter cannot connect too.

Show the results of any failures to your IT department.

Solution 5: Check your network settings

Review Networking and Connectivity details with your IT department. Ensure your network does not prevent your meter from connecting to Pitney Bowes.

If you are unable to connect to the internet, ask your IT department or internet provider to check the internet settings before you contact Pitney Bowes. If you still need assistance, please use the Contact Us options below.
