How boring.  I obtained the switch and three cables for only a little over
$150, installed it - and the *#@^&%$  thing worked first time!
(Excuse me, I am just going off for a good ping.  ...  Ah! that's better! )

Only comment I'd make is that the unit and its power supply seem to run fairly
warm - though even then NOT excessively so.  Like I said, how boring.
