Before starting detailed troubleshooting, please make sure always to try these steps first:
Check for service disruptions or planned maintenance on Disruptive Technologies' (DT) status page
Restart the Cloud Connector by removing it from the power outlet, re-insert it after 30 seconds, and check if it comes online within 5 minutes.
Remember:
There are two versions of the Cloud Connector, each designed for specific regions: EU and US. The EU variant is not compatible with the US region due to distinct regional regulations (and vice versa). This is attributed to differences in frequency bands, LTE categories, and power class standards for wireless communication devices between the EU and US.
