If all LEDs on your DSC Cell Phone are flashing, it indicates a BootLoader failure. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the power to the communicator module.
Why is the yellow LED flashing 5 times on my DSC Cell Phone?
If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 5 times, it indicates a cellular trouble. First, confirm that cellular service is available and active in your area. Check all antenna connections and ensure the average radio signal strength is CSQ 5 or higher. Also, make sure the SIM card is properly inserted and activated. If the problem continues, try relocating the panel and communicator or installing an external antenna extension kit.
What does it mean if the yellow LED is on solid on my DSC neo TL280E Cell Phone?
If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone is solid, it means there is no signal. 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, make sure it's securely screwed onto the antenna cable connector and check for any damage or open/short.
What to do if the yellow LED flashes 6 times on my DSC neo TL280E Cell Phone?
If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 6 times, it indicates an Ethernet trouble. Check with your ISP to confirm Internet service is active. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely inserted into both the RJ45 jack of the communicator and the hub/router/switch. Check the link light on the hub/router/switch. If the link light is off, restart the hub/router/switch. If DHCP is used, ensure the unit has an assigned IP address from the server. Verify a valid IP address is programmed in Sections [851][992]. If the problem persists, replace the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.
How to fix a DSC neo TL280E with no indication of power?
If your DSC Cell Phone shows no indication, the cause is likely no power. Check the power connections between the panel and the communicator. Also, confirm that the PC-LINK cable is properly installed between the communicator and the panel.
What does it mean when the red and yellow LEDs are flashing together on my DSC neo TL280E?
If the red and yellow LEDs are flashing together on your DSC Cell Phone, it means the unit is in the initialization sequence. Please wait while the unit gets its programming and establishes a connection to all programmed receivers.
Why is the yellow LED flashing 7 times on my DSC neo TL280E Cell Phone?
If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 7 times, it indicates that the receiver is not available. Ensure that the Ethernet path has Internet connectivity. If using a static IP address, confirm that the gateway and subnet mask are entered correctly. If the network has a firewall, ensure the network has the programmed outgoing ports open. 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, generate a manual test transmission over both paths or power cycle the communicator to recover the ‘Receiver Not Available’ trouble.
What does it mean if only green LEDs are flashing on my DSC neo TL280E Cell Phone?
If only the green LEDs are flashing on your DSC Cell Phone, it indicates that the hardware default jumper is installed and must be removed.
What does it mean when the trouble LED flashes 2 times on my DSC neo TL280E Cell Phone?
If the trouble LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 2 times, it indicates a panel supervision trouble. Check that section [382] toggle option [5] is ON (Alternate Communicator Enabled). Also, ensure the PC-LINK cable between the panel and communicator is connected properly (not reversed) and is securely in place.
What does yellow LED flashing 8 times mean on DSC neo TL280E?
If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 8 times, it indicates a receiver supervision trouble. If this trouble persists, contact the central station.
