If i remember correctly its been Long i used this device.

you can configure the port directly with IP address as below 

interface FastEthernet1
 ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0  <----x.x.x.x your IP address
 no ip route-cache 
 duplex auto 
 speed auto 

Or

you can create a VLAN and Associate the port to VLAN as below

interface vlan X  <- what ever vlan number
ip adress  x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
!
interface fastethernet 1
switchport access vlan X
