3 - Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch. You must

The subnet mask must be entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
The default value is 255.255.0.0.
4 - Default Gateway

This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales
Ethernet switch). The name is displayed at the top of the AT-S62

characters. The name can include spaces and special characters,
such as exclamation points and asterisks. The default is no name.
This parameter is optional.

Allied Telesyn recommends that you assign each switch a name.
Names can help you identify the various switches in your network
and help you avoid performing a configuration procedure on the
wrong switch.

4th Floor - rm 402B). The location can be from 1 to 20 characters.
