Problems provisioning new RED devices?

someone run into problems installing new devices these days from germany?
Seems my devices (RED15 & RED50) are unable to reach the provisioning server.
I get the message "try prov server" for only half a second. Support say "I checked with the RED ID A3400xxxxxxxxxx and found that this device never contact the provisioning server"
I try it from different networks with different ISP's.

  • Greetings Chris,

    Bob is right, this provisioning issue is due to the RED needing an IP address.

    I installed a RED-50 the other night and got it to work in a little different way.

    I called in and had support assist me. I setup the RED config with a static IP, but once the WAN was hooked up, it could not find a provisioning server and went into a boot loop with a failed network setup error message.

    I setup RED to get an IP via DHCP, then I plugged the RED into the internal LAN, it pick an IP and then the tunnel worked.

    In the end we got the RED setup by downloading the RED configuration file onto a USB drive.

    Once we plugged in the USB with config, WAN, and rebooted it worked.

    Hope this helps,

    Sean

  • Hello,

    today I just deployed a RED15w in Germany without any problem.

    Local DHCP-Server is needed for first setup. Minimum is a local IP, a working DNS resolver and a gateway to reach the Internet and Port 3400 (tcp+udp) should not be blocked if this is for RED10/15/15w, additionally Port 3410 (tcp+udp) is needed for a RED50. Of course Ports 80 and 443 (outgoing) shouldn't be blocked for the IP of the RED-device, too.

    Regards,

    Philipp

  • Hello everybody,
    A short feedback about my problem:
    - Of course I tested DHCP and DNS
    - I tried to deploy from 3 open networks where it always worked (I have rolled out more than 100 REDs so far).
    - I had to RMA the old one and a RMA replacement device. The new devices work without problems
