Receiver Supervision Trouble
This trouble is indicated when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the communicator module and the receiver
fails.
FTC Trouble
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module events to the central station.
Remote Programming
This indication is displayed during a remote firmware upgrade or during remote console programming.

Network Connection Status LED

The normal state of the Red Network Connection Status LED is Off when there are no network connection issues present.
This LED will activate when there is an issue with either the Ethernet or the GPRS network connection. This LED will be triggered:
• If the physical Ethernet cable is not connected
• If the DHCP configuration fails
• If the unit fails to get an IP address from the GPRS network
• When the GPRS connection has been reset

Signal Strength LEDs

The two Green signal strength LEDs are used to display the radio's signal strength: Green 1
.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
None Green 1 - Off; Green 2 - Off; Yellow - On
Insufficient Green 1 - Off; Green 2 - Off; Yellow - 5 Flashes
Low Green 1 - Flashing; Green 2 - Off
Medium Green 1 - On; Green 2 - Off
Full Green 1 - On; Green 2 - On
NOTE: If during installation the radio signal strength weakens, the unit must be relocated. Should relocation of the unit be insufficient in
improving the radio signal strength, an antenna extension may be added.

Network Activity Indication

• Ethernet Activity: The Network Connection Status LED
• GPRS Activity: The Green 2 Signal Strength LED

Adding an Antenna Extension

In the case of poor signal strength, an Antenna Extension Bracket kit may be required to rectify it. Take the following steps to install an
antenna extension kit:
1. Turn off the power to the Communicator by physically unplugging the unit from its power supply.
2. Attach one end of the extension cable to the Communicator and the other end to the antenna itself.
3. Reattach the power supply and power up.
4. Move the antenna around until you have received a strong signal.
5. Mount the antenna bracket at that location.

Hardware Default Jumper

You can reset the programming options for the Communicator to the
factory settings. Perform the following steps:
1. Locate the set of five pins in the middle of the Communicator board
labeled AUDIO/DEFAULT.
In the PC1616/1832/1864 panels these pins will be vertically
aligned; In the PC9155 enclosure, these pins will be horizontally
aligned.
Counting from the bottom or the left, the first three pins are reserved
for future use. You may discount these.
The final two pins require a jumper in order to reset the hardware val-
ues.
2. Turn off the power to the Communicator module.
3. Apply the jumper to the two hardware default pins.
4. Turn on the power to the Communicator module. Then wait for the
two green LEDs to flash rapidly.
5. Remove the jumper from the hardware default pins.
The programming options of your Communicator have now been reset to their default values.

Communicator Troubles on a PC1616/1832/1864 Panel

The General System trouble is the sole trouble that will appear on the keypad LCD when encountered by a Communicator on the
PC1616/1832/1864 panel. For more information about the trouble on the communicator module see the panel event buffer.
• T-Link Network Fault/Restore: This log will occur for the following trouble conditions: SIM Lock Trouble, GSM Trouble, Ethernet Trou-
ble, Connect 24 Configuration Trouble.
• T-Link Receiver Trouble/Restore: This log will occur for the following trouble conditions: Receiver Not Available Trouble, Receiver
Supervision Trouble, FTC Trouble.
• T-Link Comm. Fault/Restore: This log will occur when the panel loses communications with the communicator module.
