Dell Switches

I have a Dell switch that I consoled in through Putty. I am positive it is running unmanaged. It is a 3500 series POE. There is no password and no hostname. The only thing I need is its IP address. I used the help ? command and it wouldn't recognize show ip. I did get it to show system but the output locked up the prompt on me. I gave up and I tried to restart putty. Putty could not open my com port and it didn't work thereafter.

What have I done wrong?

Yes, it is a 3524.

Here this should point you in the right direction. I did notice you said you were using Putty you might try using IE/Chrome/Firefox for the Browser configuration and see if that works if so then it's a Terminal setting that needs to be adjusted. Dell PowerConnect 35xx Systems

Thanks. I found the correct command but it locked up again while consoled. I think it is a Putty issue. I never have these problems on minicom.
