Step By Step Guide:

1. Connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to your WRN

NOTE: While a keyboard is not needed due to the Linux on screen keyboard, it
is recommended for ease of use

2. Log in to Linux with your credentials

3. Click on the Settings icon on the menu bar to the left (Figure 1)

4. Select Network from the list on the left (Figure 1)

5. Click on the gear icon to the right of the network named USB Ethernet (Figure 1)

NOTE: USB Ethernet is the internal Linux name for the NVR switch marked
on the NVR as Network 1. This network MUST have a static IP that is not in
the same range as the install sites computer network

6. Select IPv4 (Figure 2)

7. Put the switch to manual mode (Figure 2)

8. Enter an IP, Subnet Mask, and set the Gateway to be the same as the IP Address field (Figure 2)

NOTE: USB Ethernet sets the base IP range for the Switch. 
This setting MUST be set to Manual

NOTE: PCI Ethernet is directly related to the Network 2 jack on the back of the NVR
This port IP address will be in the same range as the sites computer network for
local and remote access. If you are going to set it to DHCP, make sure the address
is reserved in their DHCP server
