Is there a way to configure Acorn to react the same way? I am using version 4.64 for a router and would rather not have to take apart the whole machine to install more switches (this unit is in a built in cabinet in a school shop (not the best idea but installed before I came to work for the school)).
you don't need any switches if you don't want them:-))

while you are at it, please update to v4.82 . it is a free download, see release notes and instructions here.

please install a cable pull estop around the perimeter of the machine for student safety.
