12. Release the x key.
13. After pressing ENTER to go into setup mode, you will be given a menu system displaying the current settings and also some
menu items to choose from (see image below).
NOTE: You must press enter within 5 seconds to enter Setup mode. Failure to press enter within this window of opportunity

4.3.2 Setting a Static IP Address of a SEG via LAN (through a Telnet connection)
This is the method for configuring the IP address of the SEG via the local area network (LAN) using Telnet (port 9999).
This method requires all of the following:
you know the current IP address assigned to the SEG. The easiest way to determine the IP address of the SEG is to use the
“Search for SEG Devices” button within the Site Settings screen of Hub Manager Professional.
the SEG has firmware v1.32 (or greater) released May 2008
Telnet port 9999 must be enabled on any routers between your PC and the SEG being configured
If you can't determine the current IP address of the SEG then you will not be able to use this method and you will need to refer to
section “4.3.1 Setting a Static IP Address of a SEG through a serial connection (via PC com port)”.
To enter the configuration menu of the SEG via LAN, perform the following in order:
1. Connect the SEG to your LAN.
2. Power up the SEG. If this is a brand new SEG, then it will likely be assigned an IP address via a DHCP server residing on
your network.
3. There are several ways to access the SEG's setup menu via Telnet, here is just one of the ways using a DOS prompt: select
