Dick,

I'm using the Web Switch Pro which is the latest version that includes wireless as well as DHCP. I was having problems connecting with the new switch ASCOM driver that I verified running ASCOM Diagnostics and going to the choose device menu to see if I could connect. The older switch uses different scripting I think. I have an older LPC7 with firmware 1.8.6 (latest for this switch) and it doesn't have the external API anywhere that I can find. MY older switch is messed up because it takes forever to log in and the setup screen has to be refreshed numerous times to display all setup options. Only thing I can think of is check allow legacy plaintext login under setup. Sorry, I'm not a coder and tinker with things until I make it worse or get it working. The external API did the trick for me because even Maxim wouldn't connect before I set those options. Hopefully, Manoj will get you going.
