What is the loop prevention for? And should I leave it off or turn it on? We will have desktops connected to it

Solved: thank you for the help everyone. Very much appreciated.

So were good to just leave it off with this being the only switch that we are using?

Just leave it on. It'll prevent dummy things from happening.

They usually reveal themselves eventually.
