Install Network Cable
1. Route the CAT 5 Ethernet cable through back of the panel and plug it into the communicator’s RJ45 jack.
2. Perform the following steps for initial power on of the panel with communicator installed:
a. Observe that the communicator’s red and yellow LEDs are flashing together while it initializes. The red and yellow
LEDs will continue to flash until the communicator has successfully communicated to all programmed receivers. If this
is the first time the communicator has been powered up, the module will not be able to initiate communication until it
has been programmed.
b. Reconnect the AC power, telephone line, and b connector to the panel.
(The communicator and panel will power up together).
NOTE:
Initialization may take several minutes to complete. Red and yellow LEDs will flash together during initialization. Do not
continue to next step until the red and yellow LEDs have stopped flashing. (If only the yellow LED is flashing, there is a
communicator trouble). Correct trouble indicated by flashes on yellow LED before continuing. (for troubleshooting
assistance see Table 6 ).
3. Mount the panel in location.

Communicator Troubles displayed on a HS2016/2032/2064/2128
The communication trouble is the only trouble that will appear on the keypad Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) when encountered
by a communicator installed in a HS2016/2032/2064/2128. For more information about the trouble on the communicator mod-
ule refer to the panel event buffer or by accessing *2 to view the individual trouble types.
