It turns out that the Atem Mini Pro is very picky about IP settings.

#LAPTOP NOT CONNECTING THROUGH HIRSCHMANN SWITCH GATEWAY UPDATE#

TLDR - Change your PCs network IP address to match the Mini's, that'll get you connected to it, once connected, update the Mini's IP address and Gateway to match your regular network, change your PC's network IP address back to auto obtain, PROFIT. VOILA, the network portion of getting the device up and running is good to go. As long as the subnet mask looks like 255.255.255.0, you don't have to worry about anything else -> Clicked OK to save the settings -> got out of everything else and went back to ATEM Setup -> Made sure the USB-c cable was connected -> In ATEM Setup when I clicked on the icon that looks like a little card, THAT is when I was able to get into the switcher and update its IP address(pick one that is not your router's ip address or any other devices on the network) and gateway to be on the same /24 network as my regular network -> After setting that all up, it's just a matter of going back into the network settings (the beginning steps here) and putting everything back the way it was (Internet Protocol Version option -> Hit the properties button beneath -> Choose 'Obtain an IP address automatically' -> OK -> exit out of all the control panel/network stuff). My Mini's default IP address was 192.168.10.40, so in Windows, I went into Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change Adapter Settings (on the list on the left) -> right clicked on the network I was currently connected to -> Found and highlighted the Internet Protocol Version option -> Hit the properties button beneath -> Chose 'Use the following IP address' and entered 192.168.10.50 (you can put any number as the last number except 40). The key to all of this is that your computer has to be on the same network as the device in order to update the network settings on it (if your network isn't set up to the 192.168.10.XX already), and you should know your regular IP address range(the number after the 168 in .XX) and gateway IP address (usually the router's IP address) In case anyone else runs into the problem, here's the fix that worked for me.
