How to unlock the meter, test your connection
Unlock the meter
Complete a postal inspection
The United States Postal Service
requires your iX-1 to periodically
connect to the postage server to
protect access to your postage
funds.
If your system does not connect
to the postage server 72 hours
after your last imprint, the meter
in your iX-1 will automatically
lock, deactivating all postage
related functions.
A postal inspection must be com-
pleted to unlock your meter and
reactivate postage functions.
Please ensure your iX-1 is con-
nected before initiating a postal
inspection.
Test server connection
Ping server
You can check your server
connection status by asking
the server to answer a ‘ping’
command.
The ping command will conrm:
1. Connection settings
2. LAN connection status
To ping the server:
Press the key.
1 1
If the server connection fails, a message explaining the cause of
the error will appear. Try to correct the cause and retry.
If the connection continues to fail, unplug your iX-1, wait 10
seconds, then power up and try again.
If the connection issue persists after shut down and power up,
chat with a support specialist on Myquadient or contact us for
help at 1.800.636.7678.
