Hi coyote2,
Kindly try the steps below:
1. Disconnect the GS108Tv2 from the existing network. The GS108Tv2 will default back to its IP address which is 192.168.0.239.
2. Connect a PC/laptop to a LAN port of the GS108Tv2.
3. Set a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 on the PC/laptop.
4. Open a browser like Google Chrome or Firefox then at the address bar, type 192.168.0.239 then press Enter. Login to the user interface of switch. Enter "admin" as the username and "password" as the password.
5. Click System > Management > IP Configuration.
6. On the IP Configuration page, select Static IP address then enter 192.168.1.239 in the field provided as well as the corresponding subnet mask and default gateway then click Apply.
7. Connect the GS108Tv2 back to your existing network and set the PC/laptop to Obtain an IP address automatically.
To test the connectivity, connect a PC/laptop directly to the GS108Tv2. Open command prompt on the PC/laptop, then ping 192.168.1.239 which is the static IP address set on the GS108Tv2 and ping the IP address of the router. You should be able to get replies.
Let us know the results.

Thank you very much for your reply, Carl...but I had carefully read that User Manual before posting. I still couldn't config IP address.
How does one "config its ip via DHCP" with, please? (I see how to do that with web access, but as I said without changing the IP address I only have Smart Control Center.)

Thank you Dane, I'm sure that will do the trick, so I'll click Solved, and try it as soon as I can.
(I was hoping to avoid temporarily changing the static IP on a PC to do it, but I'll go ahead and do it the way you suggest!)
p.s. to Carl: I'm sure most questions come from people who haven't bothered to read the manual etc. before posting, so I'm sorry I didn't specify that I'd already read the manual.
I tried it.
I knew how to do #2 because I already had a static IP on the PC. I changed it to 192.168.1.239 (I left the subnet mask and default gateway as 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.1 [the later is my router]; Windows gave me some sort of warning about the subnet, but I clicked OK).
But directly connected the switch, I can neither get ping replies nor reach 192.168.1.239 in my browser, even after restoring the PC's static IP to 192.168.1.45 and rebooting the PC.
Hi coyote2,
What is the current firmware of the GS108Tv2? Try to do a factory reset on the GS108Tv2 then perform again the steps I have provided then check if same problem occurs.
