No, the management port must be on a separate network. The reason is that the management port is simply a NIC that uses an address hosted by the Linux kernel; it is not part of the switch fabric. The rest of the ports are controlled by the tmm kernel(s), so they cannot share address space.
If you don't have a separate management network, then I would just leave mgmt on 192.168.1.245 (assuming you don't use 192.168.1 elsewhere) and configure it through a directly connected laptop. Once you get an address on the switch ports, you can do 99% of the things you need to do in the GUI or CLI from that address (just make sure to leave the default access for port 22 and 443 enabled). About the only thing you really need to be connected to the management port for is to do upgrades.
