- On the touch screen, select System Settings
- Select Interface Settings
- Select Network
- Select Machine IPv4 Address
- Select Specify (if it's not already selected)
- Select Machine IPv4 Address
- Using the number pad and arrow keys, enter the IP address you want to use
- Once you have entered the IP address, select the # icon on the screen
- Select OK
- Select Subnet
- Using the number pad and arrow keys, enter the subnet mask
- Once you have entered the subnet mask, select the # icon on the screen
- Select OK
- Select OK again
- Select IPv4 Gateway Address
- Using the number pad and arrow keys, enter the gateway IP address
- Once you have entered the gateway IP address, select the # icon on the screen

    1. You'll have to ask your network administrator for the subnet mask. If your computer is on the same subnet, you can type "ipconfig" (or "ifconfig" on a Linux machine) to find the subnet mask.
