Panel Supervision Trou-
ble
Check Section [382]Toggle Option[5] is ON. (HSPA/3G/Ethernet Module Enabled)
Ensure the PC-LINK cable between the Panel and Communicator is connected properly (not
reversed) and is securely in place.
04
Lockout Trouble
The SIM card has incorrect PIN programmed or has a PIN that the module does not recognize.
Replace the SIM card.
05 3G/Cellular Trouble
Confirm that HSPA/3G service is available and active in your area.
Check all antenna connections.
Ensure average radio signal strength is CSQ 6 or higher. (See Table 7).
Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card holder.
Ensure the SIM card has been activated. (Could take up to 24 hrs after install).
If this trouble persists, relocate the Panel (and Communicator) or install an external antenna
extension kit.
06 Ethernet Trouble
Check with your ISP to confirm Internet service is active in your area.
Ensure your Ethernet cable is securely inserted into the RJ45 jack of the Communicator and the
Hub/Router/ Switch.
Check the link light on the Hub/Router/ Switch is ON. If link light is OFF, try restarting the
Hub/Router/ Switch.
If DHCP is used, ensure that the unit has an assigned IP address 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 connector.
07 Receiver Not Available

If you are using a static IP address make sure the gateway and subnet mask are entered correctly.
If the network has a firewall, ensure the network has the programmed outgoing ports open
(Default UDP Port 3060 and Port 3065).
Ensure that all the receivers are programmed for DHCP or have the proper IP address and port
number.
Ensure the HSPA/3G Receiver APNs have been programmed with the Access Point Name pro-
vided by your HSPA/3G provider.
