asked on Repotec RP-PE16T/8 PoE Switch. Which default IP address?
This is a rack mount switch from 2006 with 8 standard and 8 PoE Fast Ethernet ports, 16 in total.
It should be able to manage with a built-in Web-SMART tool.
On the rear is a reset switch. When pushed, which IP address will the switch have?
I tried all the usual suspects (192.168.1.1, .100, .254, etc.) but it remains silent.
Could I connect it to a WinXP laptop and run a tool to find out?
The switch runs fine as is, though unmanaged of course.

Thanks both of you, but that's a trap. The PE16T8A is - I think - a "thrinked" version of PE16T8 in a plastic case where the management has been removed.
I have binged/googled all over but cannot find any reference to the PE16T8.

I think one version is just in a different case, for aesthetic reasons.
The managed version is a different product...

But be aware that it is an old switch not marketed any more.
I cannot tell for sure if it is managed. Perhaps not. If so, however, I find it very strange that it clearly is labelled on the front: Web-SMART. The -A model doesn't carry that label.
And if unmanaged, what purpose fills a reset button?
Thanks for tip regarding the mac address and arp. I didn't know that command was at hand in Windows.

No problem. Usually a managed switch would have some type of console interface also, so you can access it out of band. Does this switch have one? As for the reset button, that is a good question, maybe to flush any tables on the device, or it may very well be a managed switch after all.

No, that was my first though - serial connector. But no.
I'm leaving office now, but will continue tomorrow. Or order a new switch ...
