Address. The switch represents the binary value of the last byte in the 4 byte IP
address. In this case it is

255.255.255.0

Web Browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer can be used to access the

GateWay address settings.

A non-zero DIP switch setting will override any other Ethernet configura-
tion that is done.
