  • Verify probe and encoder status as documented in the monitoring section.

  • Use the encoder preview player to verify service functionality.

  • Insure probe server(s) is accessible.

  • Verify media streaming ports 4504 and 4505 are not blocked.

  • For a stream captured using a STB verify STB is operating normally, settings have not been changed and it is properly connected.

  • For RF based streams: Cable, Sat or OTA verify the raw signal is present.

  • For IP based sources verify the encoder’s hostname/IP address for each stream/channel is not blocked by a firewall.

  • For IP streams check the remote site is up. Use a site accessibility test tool like: https://www.uptrends.com/tools/uptime
