There is a Windows configuration utility that can be used to setup the switch. The way I figure it, if I cannot get it to work satisfactory, I can always return it. Does your switch work when "X" is not loaded? I have not been able to get a satisfactory answer regarding that. Someone mentioned that "X" has to be loaded first. That would definitely be a deal breaker. Thanks for your feedback. -- Carmel ✌ carmel_ny@hotmail.com
