Re: Network Switch

In prior years, the Wifi Adapter had one port, and the cRio has 2 ports. The cRio connected directly to the Wifi Adapter, and you connected other stuff through the other cRio port. If you needed to connect more than one other thing, you had to connect the cRio to a hub or switch.

As long as your Network Switch is a non-broadcasting switch (does not have wifi), you should be fine. I don't see why the Network Switch is not considered a COTS Computing Device.
