When setting up these devices: You will know your device is properly connected when the blue cloud on the top of the device is solid blue and the LED on the front panel is RED. Keep in mind: just because you're hearing music from the Cloudbox it doesn't confirm 100% it's connected to our network and working properly. If you are hearing elevator type instrumental jazz music it is NOT connected to our network.
As well, if you have to use an alternate aux cable than what we provided with the Cloudbox to connect to your amplifier make sure its a TRRS cable inserted into the Cloudbox and not a TRS. TRS cables can cause buzzing.
When onsite if you need quick help the online support chat is generally the fastest way to get a response, as well you can always reach out to the general support line, or schedule a time for your account manager to be available for location troubleshooting.

General CloudBox Setup Documentation
Bluetooth Setup Guide - You will need an HDMI monitor and a USB Mouse
Cloud Cover Music uses roughly 1.5GB - 2GB a day (24 hours) per streaming device. In order to stream music consistently and without interruption, you should dedicate at least 384 Kbps in bandwidth.
In the case you have bandwidth restrictions you can setup a schedule (DayPart) if you would like to schedule specific times when the music would play, if you are concerned about the data usage. For further example, playing just 8 hours a day would be around 500MB of data.
General Troubleshooting Step By Step Guide
Unplug Power: If the Cloudbox isn't functioning, start by unplugging the power from the Cloudbox and leave it disconnected for 30 seconds.
Reconnect Power: After the 30 seconds have passed, plug the power back into the Cloudbox.
Wait for Boot-Up: Allow the Cloudbox some time to fully boot up. This typically takes around 30 to 60 seconds. Important note: During the boot-up process, the cloud will display a continuous blue light
Observe Light: Now, check the Cloudbox. Do you see a solid blue cloud on top, or is the blue cloud blinking?
If the blue cloud on top of the Cloudbox is solid blue
Can you hear sound from your speakers?
Yes, but it sounds like instrumental jazz/elevator music:
You are not connected to our servers. See network configuration guide and make sure your firewall isn't blocking media.
Yes, it sounds like music you would expect to hear on the radio:
We’re up and running!
To fully test, log into the location's username and try:
Changing the music
Adjusting the volume
Pausing and skipping
Note: If the correct music is playing but you can’t adjust volume, pause, or skip, it may mean SQS is being blocked on the network. For more information, refer to the network configuration guide.
No, I can't hear sound from my speakers.
Can you confirm the volume is turned up in your app or browser? Try plugging headphones into the Cloudbox and confirm if you hear sound. If you still aren't hearing anything, please let us know. There may have been a hardware malfunction.
For further assistance, please refer to the Firewall, Proxy, and Content Filter Configuration Guide.
If the blue cloud on top of the Cloudbox is still blinking:
1. How are you connecting to the internet?
WiFi:
If you have an iOS/Android mobile device or tablet available, you can try downloading our Cloud Cover Music Set Up app in the App Store.
Alternatively you can setup WiFi manually with a HDMI Capable Monitor and USB Mouse. If you need to setup a Cloudbox with a static IP you will need to do so this way. Manual WiFi Setup Guide
Ethernet:
Do you have an alternate Ethernet cable you can try instead?
Can you try plugging the Ethernet cable into a different port on your router/switch?
Can you confirm another device like a laptop also works on the same Ethernet cable and port?
Network Configuration Settings
If you're still running into issues see our guide to Network Configuration Tests and or guide to Network, Proxy, and Content filter Configurations
