I'm sorry I wasn't clear if you have two switches per axis on separate inputs and one switch goes to pos and one goes to neg then you can only jog in the correct direction after checking the box and turning the power on. If you have only one input per axis then Axis can't tell which way to allow you to jog so you can jog the wrong way. In any case once a limit has been tripped in Axis you will have to check the box, turn power on then jog off the switch.
On a stepper machine you want to set VOLATILE_HOME = 1 which forces you to home after tripping a home switch.
