I got my A031 multiplexier and was very excited, but sadly it realised I cant configure it since I only have Macbook (OSX), Iphone and Android tablet. I have no windows device at all
I tried opening the ConfigTool_2017.exe tool with Wine but didnt seem to open (is there any trick for this)
I can connect via Wifi all fine and communicate with the A031 all ok (ping etc) but I cant configure the Baud rate on it which is something I need to do in order to be able to use it.
Anyway I can configure this without any access to a windows device? I am comfortable with any whacky technical solution.

Got everything to work. Installed windows10 on virtualbox on my Macbook machine. and then plugged in the QE device and clicked on USB-Passthrough and everything inside the windows virtual machine was talking and successfully configured the QE device.
NOTE: its only possible to do on the INTEL Macbook machines (not the M1) since the M1 cant do (yet) proper USB passthrough on virtualisation of Windows
