Cell Communication Failure
Broadband Communication Failure/No Ethernet Cable Plugged In
Appendix B: Communication Troubleshooting
Cell Failure
There are several possible reasons the cellular communication is not connected to Alarm.com:
Wireless signal strength issue or coverage issue.
Make sure the module is installed high enough within the structure and near an exterior wall. Alarm.com recommends that the module be installed above ground (i.e. NOT in a basement) and not in the middle of a large structure (i.e. NOT in an interior closet far
from the exterior walls).
Make sure nothing near the module could be causing RF interference. Large metal
objects or ductwork, sheet metal walls and appliances that generate RF may interfere with the module.
If the customer is located in a borderline wireless coverage area, a high-gain, remote antenna may be required. Contact your Alarm.com Rep about this if needed.
Make sure the SIM card has not been removed.
Broadband Failure
For issues with broadband communication, please check the following:
Ensure the Ethernet cable is plugged into both the customer’s router and the panel.
If the panel is connected via WiFi, ensure that the SSID and Password are correct.
Ensure that the customer’s router has power and internet by checking the internet connection of a different device on the network.
If the panel is connected via Static IP address, ensure that all the parameters are set in accordance with network specifications.
Accessing Panel Troubleshooting Page
Via Customer Router:
Connect a laptop, phone, or tablet to the same network as the panel.
Login to customer router using the router manufacturer instructions and find the IP address of the panel.
Navigate to the panel’s IP address
