Table 15. Control buttons (continued) Control button Description Enter The Enter button accepts the input and executes the selected function. When entering a number, the Up and Down buttons start in the slow mode and change to the fast mode if either button is held down. Most numbers go to a maximum of 255; for large numbers, it may be faster to use the Down button. Setting the IP address from the front panel: 1. Turn on the switch. Wait two minutes while the diagnostics complete. The display panel goes blank after the diagnostics have completed. 2. Press the Up button. The switch displays: Configuration menu 3. Press the Enter button. The switch displays: Ethernet IP address 4. Press the Enter button. The switch displays the current Ethernet IP address in the form xxx xxx xxx xxx 5. Change the current address to the preferred address. Notes: a. Press the Tab/Esc button to move the cursor (the entry point) from one field to the next. If you go past a field, continue pressing the Tab/Esc button until the cursor wraps around and returns to the desired spot. b. Press the Up button to increment the current field. Press the Down button to decrement the current field. Hold either button down to make these actions happen rapidly. The numbers in the field wrap from 0 to 255 or from 255 to 0, depending on whether you are incrementing or decrementing. This helps you get to the desired value quickly. When you have all fields set to the desired value continue with the next step: 6. Press the Enter button . The switch displays: Accept ? Y N Press the Tab/Esc button to indicate Yes. Press the Enter button to indicate No. a. If you respond No, the switch again displays the Ethernet IP address. You can now restart the process. b. If you respond Yes, the switch displays: updating the Config. This response causes the new address to be stored. After the switch has made the change, it again displays the Ethernet address. c. If no other address is to be changed (gateway or Subnet), stop here by pressing the Tab/Esc button. You are done setting up the switch. d. If you need to set other switch addresses (gateway or subnetmask), press the Up button. The switch displays: Ethernet Subnetmask. 7. Press the Enter button. The switch displays the current Ethernet Subnetmask in the form xxx xxx xxx xxx. 8. Change the current Subnetmask to the preferred address.
