Dear Karin,

- first you need to confirm "y" to the question to re-configure it
- next choose the enp2s0 network adapter (wlp3s0 sounds like a wireless connection)
- choose the 172.16.0.1 IP address

That should normally be it - the system should now try to check/update the
controller firmware after which you should get to an "Idle" state. If not try
to reboot the Linux computer after setacq.
If not done yet you may also still need to add the hostname (CSM-Agnes) to
the end of the first line in /etc/hosts before starting OVJ. Possibly rebuild
the database via "dbsetup" as vnmr1 user (has nothing to do with console comms
though).

Best regards
Bert
