  brittanyjenkinsSep 14, 2025
  If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone is on solid, it indicates there is no signal. Here's what you should do: * Confirm that cellular network service is active in the area. * Ensure the antenna is securely connected to the radio. * Check the antenna stub cable is securely connected to the radio. * If using an external antenna, ensure it is securely screwed onto the antenna cable connector and check for any damage or shorts.

  Nicole ZhangAug 26, 2025
  If the yellow LED on your DSC Security System flashes 6 times, it indicates an Ethernet trouble. Start by checking with your ISP to confirm that Internet service is active in your area. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely inserted into both the RJ45 jack of the communicator and the hub/router/switch. Verify that the link light on the hub/router/switch is ON; if it's OFF, restart the hub/router/switch. If DHCP is in use, confirm that the unit has been assigned a valid IP address from the server. If the problem persists, try replacing the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.

  If the yellow LED on your DSC Security System is flashing 7 times, it means the receiver is not available. First, ensure that the Ethernet path has Internet connectivity. If you're using a static IP address, confirm that the gateway and subnet mask are entered correctly. If the network has a firewall, ensure that the programmed outgoing ports are 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 the cellular provider. If Common Mode is used, and only one path is initialized while the other path is not successful, generate a manual test transmission over both paths or power cycle the communicator to recov...
