Problem/Symptom
Question
Possible Solution/Answer Chapter in
User's Manual
What type of 10BaseT
cable should I use to
connect the Ethernet Bridge
to a cable modem?
In general, a 10BaseT port on an
ISDN router, a cable modem, or
xDSL modem will have a pinout
similar to a cabling hub. In this
case, use the crossover cable
provided in the product package to
connect the Ethernet Bridge to one
of these devices. However, if the
10BaseT Link LED does not
illuminate on both ends, check the
documentation for your cable
modem to confirm its pinout. If
this information is unavailable, try
using a standard 10BaseT cable.
2, Appendix A
The Link LED on the back
of the Ethernet Bridge is
not illuminated.
Confirm that the appropriate
10BaseT cable is properly
connected to both the Ethernet
Bridge and the attached device.
For example, if you are connecting
to a hub, use the cross-over cable
shipped with the unit. If you are
connecting to a stand-alone
computer, use a standard 10BaseT
cable.
3, Appendix A
I can't find another
computer on the cordless
network.
1. Confirm that the other computer
is listed in the Symphony Network
Map in the Maestro tool.
2. Test the strength of the link
between the two computers from
within the Maestro tool. The
computers may be too far apart.
3. Confirm that you successfully
logged onto the network. If you
are unsure, go to Shut Down in the
Start Menu and choose "Close all
programs and log on as a different
user" to bring up the Network
Logon prompt.
4. Use Microsoft's Find Computer
utility to locate the computer on
the network.
