Event Types
System Diagnostics displays four different event types. They are tiered for severity, and color-coded to help you to easily identify successful syncs or potential issues.
Accessing Your System Diagnostics

Common Errors and Their Potential Causes
System Diagnostics reports the device events, causes & solutions outlined in this section.
No Events Reported From Device & Device Could Not be Contacted
If diagnostics reports either of these errors it may mean that your device is not connecting correctly to the network. We recommend checking the next 3 items:
- Reboot the media player
- Confirm network cable is correctly connected to the media player and to the wall/or networking source
- Confirm all required ports are open per our networking topologies found at https://www.spectrio.com/acquisitions/industry-weapon/ and clicking on Support.
