Using the front control buttons and LCD
As an alternative to the setup wizard, use the information that you recorded in Table 10 on page 42 and Table 12 on page 43 to complete the following procedure. Starting with Main Menu displayed on the LCD, use the front control buttons and LCD:
1Press Enter three times to configure the internal interface IP address.
