    Why is the yellow LED on my DSC 3G2060 solid?

      A solid yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone indicates insufficient signal strength. First, confirm that cellular network service is active in your area. Next, ensure the antenna is securely connected to the radio and that the antenna stub cable is also securely connected. If you're using an external antenna, check that it's securely screwed onto the antenna cable connector and inspect it for any damage or shorts.

      If the red and yellow LEDs are flashing together on your DSC Cell Phone, the unit is still initializing. Wait while the unit gets its programming and establishes a connection to all programmed receivers. This process may take several minutes to complete.

      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 5 times, confirm that cellular service is available and active in your area. Check all antenna connections. Ensure average radio signal strength is CSQ 5 or higher. Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card holder and that it has been activated (this could take up to 24 hours after install). If this trouble persists, relocate the panel (and communicator) or install an external antenna extension kit.

      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 6 times, check with your ISP to confirm Internet service is active in your area. Ensure your Ethernet cable is securely inserted into the RJ45 jack of the communicator and the Hub/Router/Switch. Check the link light on the Hub/Router/Switch is ON; if it's OFF, try restarting the Hub/Router/Switch. If DHCP is used, ensure that the unit has an assigned IP address from the server. Verify a valid IP address is programmed. If not, contact the Network administrator. If the problem persists, replace the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.

      Sheila MooreAug 30, 2025
      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 7 times, ensure that the Ethernet path has internet connectivity. If you are using a static IP address make sure the gateway and subnet mask are entered correctly. If the network has a firewall, ensure the network has the programmed outgoing ports open (Default UDP Port 3060 and Port 3065). Ensure that all the receivers are programmed for DHCP or have the proper IP address and port number. Ensure the cellular receiver APNs have been programmed with the Access Point Name provided by your cellular provider.

      Shawn PerkinsSep 1, 2025
      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 8 times, this indicates a trouble when supervision is enabled and the unit is not able to successfully communicate with the receiver. If this trouble persists, contact your central station.

      Michael LynchSep 4, 2025
      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 9 times, the unit has exhausted all communications attempts to all programmed receiver for events generated by the Communicator. Restart the system, if trouble persists, contact your dealer.

    • E
      Eric PetersonSep 6, 2025
      If the trouble LED on your DSC Cell Phone is flashing twice, it indicates a panel supervision trouble. Check that Section [382] Toggle Option [5] is ON (cellular/Ethernet Module Enabled). Also, ensure the PC-LINK cable between the panel and communicator is connected properly (not reversed) and is securely in place.
