If you are setting up a new phone the only way to set a static IP address is to use the GXV-3000 graphical menus. Enter the `Main Menu` and select `System Config` sub-menu.

For our example we will set the IP address 192.168.10.160. Note that one-digit octets have two zeroes added in front. For example: 192.1.x.x is written as 192001....
