Communicator Troubleshooting
Table 7: Trouble Indications
Possible
Causes
Check the power connections between the panel and the
l
communicator.
No Power
Confirm PC-LINK cable is properly installed between
l
communicator and panel.
Confirm that cellular network service is active in the area.
l
Ensure the antenna is securely connected to the radio. Check
l
antenna stub cable is securely connected to the radio.
No Signal
If an external antenna is used, ensure the antenna is securely
l
screwed on to the antenna cable connector. Check external
antenna for damage or open/short.
Check section [382] toggle option[5] is ON (Alternate
l
Panel
Communicator Enabled).
Supervision
Ensure the PC-LINK cable between the panel and communicator
l
Trouble
is connected properly (not reversed) and is securely in place.
Confirm that cellular service is available and active in the area.
l
Check all antenna connections.
l
Ensure average radio signal strength is CSQ 5 or higher. (See
l
Table 7 ).
Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card holder.
Cellular Trouble
l
Ensure the SIM card has been activated (could take up to 24 hrs
l
after install).
If this trouble persists, relocate the panel (and communicator) or
l
install an external antenna extension kit.
Check with the ISP to confirm Internet service is active in the area.
l
Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely inserted into the RJ45 jack of
l
the communicator and the hub/router/switch.
Check the link light on the hub/router/switch is ON. If link light is
l
OFF, start the hub/router/switch.
Ethernet Trouble
If DHCP is used, ensure that the unit has an assigned IP address
l
from the server. In Section [851] [992] verify a valid IP address is
programmed. If not, contact the network administrator.
If problem persists, replace the Ethernet cable and RJ45
l
connector.
Ensure that the Ethernet path has Internet connectivity.
l
If using a static IP address, confirm that the gateway and subnet
l
mask are entered correctly.
If the network has a firewall, ensure the network has the
l
programmed outgoing ports open (default UDP port 3060 and
port 3065).
Ensure that all the receivers are programmed for DHCP or have
Receiver Not
l
the proper IP address and port number.
Available
Ensure the cellular receiver APNs have been programmed with
l
the access point name provided by the cellular provider.
If Common Mode is used, and only one path is initialized while the
l
other path is not successful, generate a manual test transmission
over both paths or power cycle the communicator to recover the
'Receiver Not Available' trouble.
