Thanks for the response, Daniel. The main reason I wanted console access was two-fold: 1) It's very difficult to update the gateway IP from the GUI, and 2) I had one incident with an X1052 where it was totally inaccessible via IP - to be fair, I did access the console, and it convinced me I needed to do a factory reset on the switch, but that did give me some level of access which wasn't possible through the GUI.
We decided to return the TrippLite, not only for that reason, but also for general software issues, but I will try to see in the future if a USB-to Serial adapter might work. I did get a Cisco-type serial console to USB cable, and that did not work for me
the original poster asked a question for which I am also seeking an answer:
"Also anyone know how I can connect this switch to a Terminal Server? "
Like him, I have some X1052 and x4012 switches, and I would like to connect them to a TrippLite Console server, but the switches' console ports are USB-only, and my console server's USB port doesn't work for this purpose
Did you found the solution for your issue? I´m having the same issue, i want to update the gateway IP address but it seems impossible with GUI (browser).

Greetings to all
Dear dpshea,
Did you found the solution for your issue? I´m having the same issue, i want to update the gateway IP address but it seems impossible with GUI (browser).
Best regards,
Thank you.

No, the real question was :
"Who's idea was it to convert serial management port into micro-USB port?"
Who in his right mind wants to administer switches, remotely, through a Windows workstation ?
Tell me what's the price difference for the end customer between a 32 serial port console and a Windows-licensed workstation with 32 USB ports ?
NOooo... this "issue" is far from resolved.
