• Error #150 Unexpected response text: The http/https call succeeded, but the response was incorrect. This indicates that there
is a WiFi or network login page. Such as seen in Airports, Hotels, Marinas or RV campgrounds some times. There is no solution
to make the CCGX work with a WiFi network that requires such login page and/or accepting of terms of use.
• Error #151 Unexpected HTTP Response: A connection succeeded, but the response did not indicate a successful HTTP result
code (normally 200). This might indicate that a transparent proxy is hijacking the connection. See #150 above for examples.
• Error #152 Connection time-out: this could indicate a poor quality internet connection, or a restrictive firewall.
• Error #153 Connection error: this could indicate a routing problem. For details, check the shown error message:
• Error #153 Connection problem, and then specifically an SSL related issue, such as in below screenshot: check the date and
time setting of the Gx Device, and also the time zone. And check that your router router is not showing a special disclaimer,
login or acceptance page, like often seen in airports, hotels and other public wifi.
• Error #154 DNS Failure: Make sure that a valid DNS server is configured in the Ethernet or WiFi menu. Typically this is
assigned automatically by a DHCP server in a network.
• Error #155 Routing error: VRM is unreachable. This error occurs if an ICMP error is received indicating that no route exists to
the VRM server. Make sure your DHCP server assigns a working default route, or that the gateway is correctly configured for
static configurations.
• Error #159 Unknown error: this is a catch-all error for errors that cannot be directly categorised. In such cases the Error
message will provide information about the problem.
