Error 12288: An error when connecting to store connect

AX for Retail’s installation documentation mentions that the store connect service should run under a dedicated domain account. Remember this when setting up the store-side Retail store connect.
Also other steps to troubleshoot this errors would include:
1. Making sure the store connect service is running at the store side
2. Make sure HQ-side computer can resolve the name of the store-side SC server name into an IP address.
3. Make sure that you’ve set up corresponding port numbers
4. Make sure that these ports/store connect program are not blocked by the firewall
5. Verify that you use/or not “use encryption” at both sides (in HQ and in Store’s Retail store connect)
6. Also make sure that you have set up IPsecure in case you use encryption.
