MikroTik LCD screen: configure a public IP address

Overview: how to set a public IP using only the touchscreen LCD display on a MikroTik router. Before commencing please ensure that the Ethernet port 1 ("ether1") is attached to the NTE/U (Network Termination Equipment/Unit), which is usually the fibre optic equipment that the engineer has installed.

A PDF version if these instructions is attached below.

Note: these screens are resistive (not like a phone), so some pressure is required - we recommend a plastic pen cap!

		Tap initial screen Tap "Interfaces"
			Tap "ether1" Tap "Addresses" Tap "Add"
		Enter PIN code: 1234 [ Tap enter ]
		Enter IP address (we will provide this) [ Tap enter ]
			Enter CIDR subnet* (we will provide this) [ Tap enter ] Let us know it's ready!
* We may instruct you to add a CIDR subnet of /30 even though your official subnet is a /31. This is a limitation of the initial basic config using the MIkroTik LCD screen; we will apply full config once you've set the initial IP address.
