Status indicators

For each node in the connections window, Transceive checks whether the node can be reached on the network.

Node availability status indicators

Indicator Meaning
Green Node is online and reachable
Red Node is offline or unreachable on the current network
Amber Node is reachable but the most recent authentication attempt failed, often due to an invalid username or password

Transceive rechecks availability when your network changes, such as when you switch Wi‑Fi networks, and when your Mac wakes from sleep with Transceive running.

If a node’s DNS entry fails to resolve and you know the IP and port, entering them in advanced configuration may restore a green status.
