How do I assign an IP on a sonicwall TZ190 through console?

One of my clients is using their Sonicwall TZ190 as a gateway. He logged in and reassigned it's IP address to the same IP as one of his servers. The IP conflict has shut down his gateway but thankfully the internal LAN is still operational. In order to bring the gateway back up and restore internet connection I need to re-assign the old IP address to the sonicwall. However, because of the IP conflict we can't log in through a browser. We must console in to assign the old IP. I am not familiar with the IOS required to do this. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Thanks ccosby. We removed the firewall from the network and connected it to a single laptop. . Unfortunatley we were still unable to get a connection. Appearantly this was more than an IP conflict. It looks as though the user has completely disabled the interface to the OS of the sonicwall! Neither the browser interface nor the console interface would connect except in safe mode which was no help. We did a full reset to factory settings and had to reconfigure the sonicawall from scratch. The system is up and running now and I even backed up the settings of the firewall so that we can easily reconfigure if it happens again. Thanks for the idea!
