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.

after the diagnostics have completed.

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.

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:

pressing the Tab/Esc button. You are done setting up the switch.

the form xxx xxx xxx xxx.
