Venue Automation System (aka Book a Court) PIN Issue

UPDATE – This issue is still being investigated. However, resetting your modem using the system reset key, or power cycling the system enclosure by turning off the power until the keypad(s) switch off (as explained below), should resolve the issue. Please note it may take a few minutes for the booking data to download and for PIN access to begin working again.

There is currently a VAS (BAC) issue where booking PINs may not be providing access to the gate. This appears to have started on Thursday 5th of March and is limited to venues using a specific SIM connection.

The issue has been escalated with Complete Security Solutions (CSS), who have also raised it with their service provider for urgent investigation.

If you are affected by this issue, we recommend resetting the modem using the reset key on the system enclosure to see whether this resolves the problem. There is a small insert on the bottom of the system enclosure where the reset key can be inserted. The mechanism is spring-loaded, so the key will need to be twisted and held for approximately 5 seconds, which will power the router off and back on.

Alternatively, you can turn off the power to the enclosure for 3–4 hours. Once the keypads are completely off, the power can then be turned back on. This will complete a full system reset.

However, please note that this is not guaranteed to resolve the issue.

Note: the public/private site PIN should still give access to the gate if required. 

We will provide a further update as soon as we receive more information
