Problem
Core failed Step 1 when performing a Test Connection to Reflect Q-SYS Reflect.
Failure message seen is "getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN reflect.qsc.com: 443
Causes
the getaddrinfo must provide translation from an ANSI hostname to a real address, which means DNS is not working properly.
Solution | Workaround
- Verify DNS is enabled on your core
- Verify your core can ping the Reflect server. You can also try to ping another site like ‘google.com’ to prove the core can reach outside the network.
Reminder:
S requires DNS (port 53), NTP (port 123), HTTPS and WSS (port 443)
Proxy Servers or next-gen firewalls can prevent connections
SSL inspection needs to be disabled for Core-Reflect communication
