For some computers, the Ethernet driver on the PC takes too long to recover when the cRIO reboots (and the link is lost). If there is a Switch in the path between the cRIO and the PC, the Switch will prevent the PC from loosing link even when the cRIO is rebooting. This will allow the imaging to succeed where it may otherwise fail. That is the reason using a switch in between may be helpful.
