    Hi,
    
    	Support for auto-address learning for the PORTswitch 900FP (V2.0.0
        FW) will be available in HUBwatch V4.1.
    
        Unfortunately the LAN/Group field on the Repeater Summary Window
        is not supported. The overhead involved made window activation
        slow. A couple of possibilities for the future are 1) having a
        new button to request this info. 2) making this info. optional
        on window activation, 3) getting the info. faster.
    
    Regards,
    Bob

The "PORTswitch 900TP Release Notes" Version 2.1 says at section 
"Known Conditions and Restrictions" that 

If you have one workstation connected to a port and that workstation is 
generating traffic, and you use HUBwatch to enable address learning for the 
port, the port will not learn the station's address.

My customer use HUBwatch for Windows V4.1.1.

With which Version of HUBwatch and/or PORTswitch FW you plan to support the 
'auto address learning'? Need just a statement for my customer.

Cheers
Andreas
