PortVision DX Requirements
RocketLinx switches are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited
feature support. For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-
party switch.
PortVision DX Requirements
Use PortVision DX to identify, configure, update, and manage the DeviceMaster on
the following Windows operating systems:
•
Windows 8.1
•
Windows 8
•
Windows Server 2012
•
Windows 7
•
Windows Server 2008
•
Windows Vista
•
Windows Server 2003

PortVision DX requires that you connect the Comtrol Ethernet attached product to
the same network segment as the Windows host system if you want to be able to
scan and locate it automatically during the configuration process.
Note: You must install PortVision DX v3.02 or higher to load firmware with a
.cmtl extension.
