Ensure BootP Service (`CCFTBPS.exe`) is running, the Controller is configured correctly, and connected to the network | | **4 Flash** | 4 flashes then pause | **No private key or certificate loaded.** Note: this state can only be reset by the factory of manufacture | | **5 Flash** | 5 flashes then pause | Invalid private key or certificate loaded, or key and certificate do not match the Controller serial number. See [DIP Switch 8 Recovery](/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-dip-switch-8-recovery.md) or seek Gallagher Tech Support advice | | **6 Flash** | 6 flashes then pause | **The Controller has dropped its code.** See [DIP Switch 8 Recovery](/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-dip-switch-8-recovery.md) or seek Gallagher Tech Support advice | | **7 Flash** | 7 flashes then pause | A USB-stick software upgrade is complete and the USB drive must be removed for installation to complete | | Controller Resetting | 450 ms on, 50 ms off (2 Hz) | Controller resetting | | Short flash + long flash (1 s cycle) | 100 ms on, 250 ms off | Boot code monitor running, network unplugged | *** ## DIP switch settings Default settings are in **bold**: | DIP Switch | Setting | Meaning | | ---------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **DS1** | ON / **OFF** | Controller will accept WWW connections / **Controller will reject WWW connections** | | **DS2** | **ON** / OFF | **Initialise. On startup all site-specific data including configuration, site encryption keys and events are securely removed. The Controller uses DHCP (with a DHCP server) or BootP (with Command Centre server) to get a new IP address.** / Normal startup, configuration retained | | **DS3** | ON / **OFF** | When DS2 is ON in conjunction with DS3, the Controller uses the **default IP address configuration** / **Controller will wait for IP configuration depending on DS2 setting** | | **DS4** | ON / **OFF** | Controller will reject IP address offers from standard DHCP servers. Switch ON if using Command Centre's BootP Service to configure IP and a DHCP server is also present on the network. **OFF = Controller will accept DHCP offers.** ⚠️ **DS4 must be OFF for Controllers running pre-v8.90 firmware**, otherwise the Controller will not work correctly | | **DS5** | ON / **OFF** | For **factory testing only** / **On startup, the main application is run** | | **DS6** | **OFF** | **Unused** | | **DS7** | **OFF** | **Unused** | | **DS8** | **OFF** / ON | **Boot normally** / Revert to the factory default version of the operating system. In conjunction with **DIP Switch 2**, revert to the factory default version of the software, similar to a factory reset (all configuration, events and alarms will be lost). See [DIP Switch 8 Recovery](/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-dip-switch-8-recovery.md) and document `3E3438 Leaflet Controller 6000 DIP switch 8 Recovery`. ⚠️ A DIP switch 8 factory reset on a v8.20 or later Controller will **not** revert it back to v8.10 or earlier. ⚠️ **Only turn DS8 on when the Controller has failed** (firmware corruption or recovery). Do not use it routinely | *** ## Quick reference * **DS1+DS2+DS3 ON** - Default IP web-config addressing (`192.168.1.199/config.`) * **DS2 ON, others OFF** - BootP request (controller broadcasts for IP) * **DS2+DS8 ON** - DIP Switch 8 Recovery procedure. **Only when the Controller has failed** (see [DIP Switch 8 Recovery](/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-dip-switch-8-recovery.md)) * **All OFF** - Normal operation (use existing pinned configuration) For shutdown codes after a controller restart, see [Shutdown Codes](/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-shutdown-codes.md). *** 🔗 **Related** * [Shutdown Codes](/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-shutdown-codes.md).

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/knowledge-hub/products/cc-hardware/controllers/controller-6000/troubleshoot/controller-6000-run-led-and-dip-switches.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
