Problem/Symptom
Question
Possible Solution/Answer Chapter in
User's Manual
I can't print to the network
printer.
1. Confirm that you have
successfully installed the network
printer on the computer from
which you want to print.
2. Confirm that the printer and the
computer it is attached to are
powered on.
3. Confirm that the computer with
the printer and the computer from
which you want to print are both
successfully logged into the
network.
4. Test the strength of the link
between the two computers from
within the Maestro tool. The
computers may be out of range of
one another.
7
I get an error message
while trying to copy driver
files during the installation
of my printer.
Certain printer manufacturers
require that network computers run
a proprietary software program to
use the printer over the network.
Consult your printer documentation
for more information on how to
share the printer on the network.

The Ethernet Bridge
Networking icon in the
Windows System Tray is
red. Why?
The Ethernet Bridge icon will turn
red when the computer cannot
communicate with the Ethernet
Bridge. Try these steps:
1. Confirm that the Ethernet
Bridge is powered on.
2. You may be out of range of the
Ethernet Bridge. Try moving the
computer closer to it.
3. Confirm that the Security Code
has not been changed for the
Symphony Card from within the
Maestro Configuration Tool.
6
The Status LED on the top
of the Ethernet Bridge has
turned red.
Unplug the Ethernet Bridge's
power adapter from the wall outlet.
Wait 10 seconds and plug it back
into the wall. If the LED remains
red, contact Technical Support.
