Before you can make a Telnet connection or access the switch via the Web,
you must assign an IP address and subnet mask to the Ethernet connection
using the front panel or from a PC or terminal (DS-DSGGB-AA).
4.1.2.1 Using the Switch Front Panel
The switch front panel consists of a display and four buttons. The display is
normally not activated, but is activated when you press any of the buttons.
The display has a timer. After approximately 30 seconds of inactivity, the
display will turn off.
The four front panel buttons are:
•
Up — Upward triangle: Scrolls the menu up (which effectively moves
down the list of commands) or increases the value that is being displayed.

Note
_____________________
When you use the up or down buttons to increase or decrease
a numerical display, the number changes slowly at first,
but changes to fast mode if the button is held down. The
maximum number displayed is 255. An additional increment
at a count of 255 resets the count to 0.
•
Down — Downward triangle: Scrolls the menu down (which effectively
moves up the list of commands) or decreases the value that is being
displayed.
•
Tab/Esc — Leftward triangle: Allows you to tab through multiple
optional functions, for example, the fields in an IP address. You can use
this button to abort an entry, which takes you to the previous menu item.
If you press this button repeatedly, the front panel display will turn off.
•
Enter — Rightward triangle: Causes the switch to accept the input that
you have made and move to the next function.
4.1.2.2 Setting the Ethernet IP Address and Subnet Mask from the Front Panel
Before you telnet to the switch, you must set the Ethernet IP address and
subnet mask.
To use the front panel to set the Ethernet address and subnet mask, follow
