You are on the right track, you will need to make that console connection and set the IP address through the CLI. Page 11 of the getting started guide details how to setup that console connection.

I am trying to learn about network switches and need to correct something I messed up working with a Dell PowerConnect 5448.  I was trying to change the static IP address of this switch and instead of changing it, I removed it.  Now I can’t manage it from the web GUI anymore.  The switch is still working fine on our network, but it hasn’t been rebooted yet so I’m mildly concerned.  I’m guessing what happened is I just removed the management IP address of the device and now I need to manage it from the console cable only. What I did: So my question is, how can I connect to the switch to set the IP address without losing its configuration?  I have a null modem cable.
