GS108ev3 - Utility stops responding

Just purhcased a GS108Ev3 switch, and I was able to open up the ProSafe Plus Config utility and select the switch to assign an IP address.  The switch is working with the attached devices, and I can ping it via the IP assigned to it.  My computer I am trying to access the switch with via the utility is in the same subnet.  But, I cannot do any other "management" on the switch.  When I click the APPLY button once highlighting the switch, I am prompted for the password (which is still the default as I cannot get beyond this to change it), so I enter that, and then the utlity just sits there with its "busy" icon for the mouse cursor.  It never comes back, I cannot select any other actions in the utility.  I have to kill the utility completely.  Any ideas so I can do other settings/fireware updates?

  • Well, just realized that this version has web management....so nevermind. I am able to mange it via the web interface.
