and ‘8’ 

 buttons. Use the zone buttons under each octet to adjust the value:

Any zone button under an octet in the 1’s position 

 will increment the value by 1.

Any zone button under an octet in the 10’s position 

 will increment the value by 10.

Any zone button under an octet in the 100’s position 

 will decrement the value by 1.

Values will wrap around. Incrementing past 255 will cause a value to wrap to 0. Decrementing 
below 0 will cause the number to wrap around to 255.
