Change network configuration
This menu option is used to directly start the ‘netconfig’ program for the configuration of the network.
The selection of this option therefore requires that special caution be exercised. Prior to starting the
program the operator should be knowledgeable about which options must be selected for a correct
configuration.
Primarily, the ’netconfig’ program for the configuration of the LAN connection (output of the LAN card)
is used.

To switch to "AUI", the following must be entered (instead of "y") when the "BNC socket" query
appears:
●
