ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed Switch 
Specify IP Address Settings for the Switch
By default, the switch IP address works as follows:
If you cable the switch to a network with a DHCP server before you power on the switch, 
the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the switch when the switch is powered on.
If you power on the switch when it is not connected to a network with a DHCP server, the 
switch uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.0.239.
You can disable the DHCP mode in the switch and enter static IP address and subnet 
mask values for the switch as well as the address of the gateway device used by the 
switch.
