Setting Static IP Address
The operating mode of the switch can be
changed via the Mode button.
If a DHCP server is not available, use the
following method to set up a static IP
address.
After the switch boots up, as soon as all LEDs
turn off, press and hold the Mode button for
at least 5 seconds.
Note that there is a limited amount of time
that the LEDs remain off and if LEDs come on
again, it will not be possible to change the
mode.
Once all LEDs are solid green, release the
button.
The “Exit without change” function is active
by default.
To select the static IP address function, press
the button to toggle between the functions
until the function is chosen.
Below is a table of the different functions
with the corresponding LED patterns.
To apply and save the setting, press and hold
the Mode button again for at least 5 seconds
until all LEDs are solid and release the
button.
