There is no support for this device anymore.
We bought this on ebay, but it displays as unregistered.
Also, when we run the auto test, the results do not show intricate information we need such as, the switch the device is plugged into, the IP address of the switch, the port the cable is plugged into on the switch etc.
We downloaded the NetTool blaster but the null modem cable I used to connect to it doesn't seem to work as the application does not recognize the device.
Anything I should look out for?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
