-g

 

zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz

 

 

 where 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 is the IP address, 

yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

 is the subnet mask, and 

zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz

 is the gateway address. (All the information is ignored if DHCP is 

enabled.) - To configure a static IP address:  
 
 

ipconfig -h  

hostname where hostname

 

is the new hostname. - To change the 

hostname of the clock.
