Subsystem

None

Feature description

Now that static IP configuration is supported in the Web UI (dev branch), we should extend this functionality to the touchscreen interface as well.

Currently, network settings (including static IP, netmask, gateway, and DNS) can only be configured through the WebUI. However, in many deployment scenarios - especially isolated or DHCP-less management VLANs - users need to configure a static IP directly on the device, without relying on the WebUI or network connectivity.

Expected Behavior

Allow users to configure static IPv4/IPv6, netmask, gateway, and DNS directly from the touchscreen.
Include a reset to DHCP option for fallback.

This issue replaces the touchscreen-related part of #37, which is now closed after merging static IP support to dev.

Not to distract from this concept (which is super cool!), but what about plugging a JetKVM directly into a Mac/PC's wired network port (like one does for setting up a WiFi router anew)?

Critically for that, what IP does the JetKVM fall-back to if just Factory Reset and doesn't get a DHCP response?
