Maestro Randomly Restarting

The bandwidth assumption does not hold water.
The issue as best as I can tell may be a port level negotiation issue (mismatch) between the Maestro GigE interface and the GigE switch. Since most of these switches are unmanaged, we have no visibility into the port parameters or stats. As it has been noted numerous times on the Community, some GigE switches work just fine (my Cisco SG-200 is one of them) and others do not. 100BaseT uses a different (and simpler) port negotiation protocol and for whatever reason seems to operate with fewer issues. I suspect that part of it has to do with the chipsets used for 100BaseT have had more time to refine their feature set functions and interoperate better. This is conjecture on my part.
And bandwidth has NOTHING to do with it. The Maestro consumes a modest amount network bandwidth and sends out even less.0 -
Modest amount of bandwidth is being modest Tim, it is less than that.0

I know. I was covering my bases ;-) It is a little over 2 MB/s0

No, I don't keep a battery in the Maestro unless I need and at home I have not needed it. I take it where I plan on using it powered off, then plug in the Flex supplied AC adapter and power it up.0

Did anyone submit a trouble ticket? This exact problem happend to me twice. I am simply listening to a QSO, not fussing with knobs. Brian, W9HLQ

Another test would be to put a cat 5 cable between the Maestro and the Flex...
In so doing there is not another device in the Mix......
Just a thought.

No, I haven't yet. I think I have the same issue with SmartSDR on my PC. Every so often SmartSDR quits and says it has lost connection with the radio.
I haven't been on the air too much recently with the Maestro. I didn't want to turn in a ticket until I've tried some of the suggestions here.

I have made an interesting observation about this issue. For the last two days or so I've left my radio on scanning ALE channels. During that time this issue has not occurred once. There was one instance where I received an error message on the Maestro but it was a different issue.
Maybe the ALE software constantly changing the frequency is keeping the radio occupied and keeping it from crashing? So maybe the firmware is crashing due to inactivity from the client or something like that?
