Question:     What is the default IP address?  How do I reset to defaults?  What is the default password?

Answer:        192.168.0.100

To reset to defaults, use a non-conductive pen (NOT A PAPERCLIP) to click the "Reset to default" button located near the network connector.  The master login "admin" and password "1234" are restored as well as the network settings.
