Protools - punch-in footswitch problem

Here is my set up

Mbox Pro interface
Pro Tools LE8 8.0.3

On the back of my Mbox Pro there is a foot switch input jack. In the direction manual it says to use that jack for punch in and out switch that I need to go into the "setup" menu then choose "Hardware". There I am suppose to be able to pick what I want my foot switch to do.

When i do that and click on "Hardware" nothing happens. It just goes back to the regular editing page that I was on before.

Any ideas? Yes the foot switch is plugged in and yes it is the correct type.

Thanks for any insight.
 
I'm not at PT right now, but I'll take a look in the morning, ok?
Maybe someone will be along before then.

Sorry, I can't find any information about footswitches in Pro Tools.
I'm on PT9 though, and my 828 doesn't have a footswitch jack (I don't think). Maybe that's why.

Have you tried googling within Avid DUC?

Either way, clicking hardware>setup should at least bring up some window, whether it has footswitch options or not.

Thanks for checking. Yes, it is weird when I click on Setup-Hardward menu nothing comes up. after I click on Hardware nothing happens.
