ConnectionException	Anytime	Base class for all exceptions relating to the state of the AMPS connection.
ConnectionRefusedException	Connecting	The connection was actively refused by the server. Validate that the server is running, that network connectivity is available, and the settings on the client match those on the server.
DisconnectedException	Anytime	No connection is available when AMPS needed to send data to the server or the user's disconnect handler threw an exception.
