Whenever the word PC is used, it implies a UNIX, Linux, Windows, or any other operating
system based workstation, computer, personal computer, laptop, notebook or any other
computing device. Most of the manual uses Windows XP based examples. While effort has
been made to indicate other operating system interactions, it is best to use a Windows-XP
based machine when in doubt.

your switch is not at the current version, GE Multilin recommends upgrade to version 1.7.x
or later. Please refer to the GE Multilin website for information on upgrading the MultiLink
