Subnet number

Subnet mask is used to set the subnet mask value, which should be the same value as that of the other devices resided in the same network it attaches.

For more information, please also see the Section 2-1-4 “IP Address Assignment” in this manual.

Default: 255.255.255.0 Fallback Gateway:

Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not meet the routing rules predefined in the device. If a packet does not meet the criteria for other pre-defined path, it must be forwarded to a default router on a default path. This means any packet with undefined IP address in the routing table will be sent to this device unconditionally.

Default: 192.168.1.254 Management VLAN:

Show the management VLAN number. Password:

Set a password for this switch. Up to 16 characters are allowed in this parameter. Any alphanumeric character is acceptable.

Default: admin Inactivity Timeout(secs):

Set the auto-logout timer. The valid value is 0 ~ 60 in the unit of minute and a decimal point is not allowed. The value 0 means auto-logout timer is disabled.

Default: 0
