Error messages during registration and activation

What the messages during registration and when activating the gateway and E-Paper displays mean

The wording of the messages may differ slightly in your language version of Doorzign.

Registration

The gateway is licensed but not yet connected to the DoorZign server

There is a valid licence for the gateway, but it has not yet contacted the DoorZign server. Connect the gateway to the internet and enter the start URL https://doorzign.zeitwart.de/welcome (see below). Then try the registration again.

The MAC address could not be found on the licence server

The MAC address is unknown to the licence server. Common causes:

  • a typo in the MAC address

  • you entered the Wi-Fi MAC instead of the gateway’s LAN MAC address

  • no licence has been purchased for this gateway yet

If this doesn’t help, please contact support at support@zeitwart.de.

The gateway has already been activated

The gateway is already assigned to an account. Please contact support at support@zeitwart.de.

The gateway has the wrong status

Please contact support at support@zeitwart.de.

Other messages

  • Invalid MAC address – the input is not a MAC address. Check it for typos.

  • MAC address could not be verified or unknown error – try again later. If the error persists, contact support.

  • Too many registration requests – wait a moment and try again.

  • Username already taken – choose a different username.

  • Invalid username format – allowed are lowercase letters, digits and - _ . |, at least 4 characters.

  • Terms must be accepted – confirm the terms and conditions.

The same MAC address checks apply to the manual gateway registration on the DoorZign licenses page.

Activating the gateway and E-Paper displays

  • No gateway is waiting for activation under this MAC address – connect the gateway to the internet and check the start URL (see below).

  • No licence account is assigned to your account yet – please contact support at support@zeitwart.de.

  • The gateway / the E-Paper display could not be activated – please try again later.

  • The licence server responded unexpectedly – please try again later.

If an error persists, please contact support@zeitwart.de.

Enter the gateway start URL

Via HDMI screen

Connect an HDMI screen and a mouse or keyboard to the gateway. Establish an internet connection – via LAN cable or Wi-Fi. Connect the gateway to the supplied power adapter; the device starts automatically. After a short time the start screen appears. Enter the following URL: https://doorzign.zeitwart.de/welcome

Via Qbic Remote Configuration Center

If a computer is available in the same subnet, you can access the gateway from it without connecting an HDMI screen. This requires the RCC software – please send a short email to support: support@zeitwart.de

  • You can search for a device by IP range if you don’t know the exact IP address. The device must be in the same network.

  • Enter the device password. You can request the default password from support@zeitwart.de.

  • Click the pencil icon to log in to the display and control it remotely. Then enter the start URL as described above.

  • Alternatively, you can set the start URL directly in the settings at the bottom.

The Doorzign welcome page appears and you can continue with the registration or activation.
