How to Troubleshoot an Ultra Device if Status is Disconnected on Gweb
If your Ultra device displays as disconnected on G-web, it may indicate that the device is either not making an internet connection to G-web or that the device is completely switched off.
How to Determine if the Device is Not Making an Internet Connection
Visual inspection:
- Device screen will appear with a exclamation next to a globe:
Symptoms:
- G-web Status: The device will display as "disconnected" on G-web.
- Calling the Device: The device will still ring when you call its number. Outputs, such as your gate, will still function and open.
- MyCentsys Remote: The MyCentsys remote, which relies on an internet connection to trigger actions, will not work.
Possible Causes:
- No Data Loaded on the Prepaid SIM Card: Data expires every 30 days. Ensure that data is regularly reloaded to maintain the internet connection.
- Prepaid SIM Card Opted Out of Data Bundle Rates: If the SIM card is using airtime as data and the airtime has finished, the device will not be able to connect to the internet. Ensure there is sufficient airtime or switch to a data bundle to avoid this issue.
