Arrivals app troubleshooting

This page describes various user, setup, and technical errors that might arise when setting up and using the Arrivals app:

  1. There’s no active internet or network connection to the device (WiFi, ethernet, or Power over Ethernet (PoE)).

  2. The account created isn’t a system account.

  3. The password entered is incorrect.

  4. The account created is locked (as too many incorrect password attempts have been made).

No internet or network connection

For a network connection error:

  • Check the device’s network settings.

  • Check your router’s internet connection.

  • Check the Wi-Fi password – it may have expired.
