  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.
