I'm not sure - I will check the manual for that device and see if it can be set, but I doubt it. Most switches on the market today are auto sensing so that they can handle whatever different devices are plugged into them. I am not saying that is definitely not a problem, but this particular airPoint did exhibit problems right out of the box hooked directly to a computer, so I don't think the switch is the issue here. I will check into it however and let you know.
