Samsung SSP Common Troubleshooting

Black Screen / No Content Showing

Issue: My screen is black; no content is showing.

Troubleshooting: Is the screen powered on?

  • Check to make sure that the screen is powered on first by pressing the Home button on the remote. If the Home menu comes up, select the ‘URL Laucher‘ and content the content should start back up:

  • Do you have your Screen Management schedule set up correctly?

  • If Screen Management is active, check the date and time on the screen by going to Settings > Date & Time. If Screen Management is active, it’s important that no one uses the remote to power the screen Off or On, inadvertently powering the screen off when it might be in sleep mode.
  • If there is no response to the remote whatsoever, the screen may need to be serviced. At this point, please submit a Ticket from the Home page of the software or email helpdesk@pinghd.com.

 

 

Players not performing Health Checks / Offline

Issue: My Player(s) are not performing a Health Check from the Players page or the Dashboard.

Troubleshooting: Is the screen connected to the internet? Is the network cable plugged into the screen?

  • Press the Home button on the remote and select ‘Network Status‘:

  • A network check will be performed. If the network check is successful and you are connected to the network.
  • Go back to the Home screen and select the ‘URL Launcher‘.

If the network check is unsuccessful and you are not connected to the network or connected to the network but not the internet, please contact your local IT team or service provider to help troubleshoot the connection further.

If the screen is connected to the network but still is not checking in (performing a Health Check) with the software, please ensure that the Device ID is correct. This can be found from the Players section of the software:

  • Press the Home button on the remote
  • Select ‘Change URL
  • Ensure that the last part of the URL is correct for the Device ID. Example: http://go.engagephd.com/s/DEVICEID
