  If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone is flashing 6 times, it indicates an Ethernet trouble. To resolve this issue: 1. Check with your ISP to confirm that Internet service is active. 2. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely inserted into both the RJ45 jack of the communicator and the hub/router/switch. 3. Verify the link light on the hub/router/switch is ON; if it's OFF, restart the hub/router/switch. 4. If using DHCP, make sure the unit has an assigned IP address from the server. If the problem persists, replace the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.
