In the xterm terminal window, enter the following command to initiate the script to
modify the configuration of Ethernet port 1 (eth0).
./editnetworketh0<Enter>
Don’t forget to first type the dot and forward slash
“./”.
The following window for the
KWrite text editor with the configuration file for Port 1 should appear. Use caution as
incorrect settings could disable the system, especially if it were already configured.

There are usually about 6 lines of parameters in the
configuration file. Only edit the lines described below to
provide the parameters needed for your installation. Do not
edit the parameter name or add spaces. You only need to edit
or confirm the following lines: (order not important)
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR={IP address for this MultiNet Receivers port}
NETMASK={Net mask for the attached network}
GATEWAY={Gateway for the attached network}
Once you have modified the lines to your desired
settings, select “Quit” in the File menu. If the editor
detects that you made changes, you will be asked to
save the current Document. Click [Yes]. Click [No]
if you are unsure of your edits and want to begin
again.
Once the editor is closed the script will continue by initializing the new settings and
running a few tests. Watch the screen for errors.
