It looks like the default address is 192.168.0.239, have you tried
that? Are you also on the 192.168.0.x network? If not, you'll want to
change your settings temporarily or you won't be able to see the
switch.

It's also possible that the switch's IP address has been changed, of
course. One would hope that it's somewhere within the 192.168.x.x
scope, so scanning in that range might find it. It could also be in
the 10.x.x.x range, among others. If you reset the switch, it should
go back to 192.168.0.239, in case that's an option.
