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.
