General assumption: The device is configured according to factory defaults.
Connect to the serial console of the device (just like to a Cisco device, same serial port settings)
Log in using username admin and no password (just hit ENTER).
Connect your computer's network port to network port 1 of the device. Configure your computer's NIC to use a static IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0).
Access the device's web interface on https://192.168.1.99 and log in with the same credentials as above.

-* Hit ''Apply''. You'll lose connection almost instantly, as most probably the config file will set the IP address of the MGMT interface to something other than 192.168.1.99.
-* In the CLI window (serial terminal), check if the hostname has changed and now matches the hostname in your config file. Optionally, check the complete config by issueing the <code>show full-configuration</code> command.
-* The new config is now applied and saved to the device.
