      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone is flashing 5 times, it indicates a cellular trouble. First, verify that cellular service is available and active in your area, then check all antenna connections. Ensure that the average radio signal strength is CSQ 5 or higher. Also, make sure the SIM card is properly inserted and activated; activation can take up to 24 hours. If the problem continues, consider relocating the panel and communicator or installing an external antenna extension kit.

      If the yellow LED on your DSC Cell Phone is flashing 6 times, it signifies an Ethernet trouble. Start by confirming with your ISP that Internet service is active. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the communicator's RJ45 jack and the hub/router/switch. Check that the link light on the hub/router/switch is on; if it's off, restart the hub/router/switch. If you're using DHCP, verify that the unit has been assigned a valid IP address from the server, checking sections [851] [992] for programmed IP addresses. If issues persist, try replacing the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.
