Error code 1: Network error

A network error indicates that there may be an internet/network connection issue or your firewall/security settings are blocking the Digital Signage app from communicating with our server.

To fix this error, please check the following:

1. Is the LG display connected to a fixed or wifi network? If no:
   1. Fixed/Wired (recommended)
      Plug the ethernet cable into the LAN port (at the rear of your LG display) and wait for the connection to be established
   2. Wireless*
      Use your LG remote to open the inbuilt menu settings and locate the Network settings.  Follow the prompts to select your network and enter your password. When the LG display is connected to the wireless network, please recheck the logs (BLUE button on remote).
2. Are your firewall/security settings preventing the app from communicating?
   Contact our support team to request the IP addresses required for your IT team to setup whitelisting.

*If using a wireless connection with a browser prompt (e.g. connection requires you to enter information before a connection is established), please ask your IT team to bypass the prompt.
