Jumpers 9 through 14 are not installed.
Jumper 1 must always be On. Jumper 2 must always be Off.

Check Power Supply Voltage

 Verify that the Node Card is getting proper DC voltage by metering between TP1 and Com.  You should get 5.05vdc between these two points. If not adjust voltage at the power supply so that you get 5.05vdc between TP1 and Com.
