Basic MikroTik RouterOS Configuration using winbox

To configure your router
Click IP >> Addresses on the left menu in winbox as in diagram below.

 

This will open the Address list dialog window as seen below. Click on the red plus button to open the add IP address window.

When the New IP address dialog opens enter the address details select an interface to set the adress on and press apply and OK button.

For information on what IP settings to use please see a basic tutorial in IP Networking. But just to explain one or two points about this dialog...
It is best to delete an address entirely instead of editing it, as I found that it a cleaner way of editing an address as to modify network or broadcast options can sometimes not apply 100% properly.
You have an option of entering the network and broadcast address explicitly in the boxes provided or is you prefer you can use the short slash notation and press the apply button, this will populate the broadcast and network boxes with the correct settings.
