Solution 1: Clear Message

  1. Select Clear Message to clear the error.
  2. Check for green, amber or orange 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.

  3. Select Shut Down from the pop-up.

Solution 3: Run Network Test

  1. From the Home screen, select Settings under Mailing.
  2. Select Internet & Network.
  3. Select Network Test.
  4. Select Perform network test. The icon next to each item will tell you the status of the network test.
    1. A blue circle means the test is still running.
    2. A green check mark means the test passed.
    3. A red circle with an exclamation point mean the test failed.

Select Show Details next to any failed item and the meter displays:

  • The URL that the meter could not connect to.
  • The HTTP error code for the failure.
  • It may give a possible resolution.

You should then show the results of any failures to your IT department.

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.
