No. BrightSign does not initiate any contact with BrightAuthor:connected or players. Users initiate connections, send requests, or subscribe to events, and the server replies. There are no cases when a server sends a request to a player, which would be impossible in most cases anyway since players are behind firewalls/gateways. The BSN.cloud Ports and URLs for Players and Software page lists the services and ports which BrightAuthor:connected and players access in outbound connections. |

The BSN.cloud server expects each player to report its status every five minutes. If it does not, then player status is unhealthy (inactive?). The server does not talk to players to check how they are doing. |
