What to do if red and yellow LEDs are flashing together on my Tyco Cell Phone?
- D
  danielle99Aug 13, 2025
  If the red and yellow LEDs on your Tyco Cell Phone are flashing together, it could mean one of two things. First, the unit might still be initializing and attempting to connect to all programmed receivers, which can take several minutes. If the initialization takes longer than expected, the boot loader may have failed. To check this, enter communicator programming [*][8][installer code][851]. If access is granted, continue waiting. If access is denied, disconnect and then reconnect power to the communicator module.

  If your Tyco Cell Phone displays a Yellow LED with 6 flashes, it indicates an Ethernet issue. First, verify that your Internet service is active with your ISP. Then, ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the RJ45 jack on the communicator 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, confirm in Section [851] [992] that the unit has a valid IP address assigned by the server. If not, contact your network administrator. If the problem continues, try replacing the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.

  If your Tyco Cell Phone shows a Yellow LED flashing 7 times, it means the receiver is not available. Make sure your Ethernet path has Internet connectivity. If you are using a static IP address, double-check that the gateway and subnet mask are correctly entered. If your network uses a firewall, ensure that the programmed outgoing ports (default UDP port 3060 and port 3065) are open. Also, verify that all receivers are programmed for DHCP or have the correct IP address and port number.
