How do I assign an IP address to a Cisco 2811 router in RonMon mode

My Cisco 2811 router is in ronmon mode and I have tried all the documents to assign an IP address to the router. I am preparing it to download an IOS but I can't ping the Router from my PC.  I am connected to the console port and I have a compact flash in the drive.  How do I assign the IP address to the router in ronmon mode?  We performed the below commands but it didn't work.  I am thinking the router doesn't have an IP address so it won't complete the transfer.

 IP_ADDRESS=IP address of the Ethernet port
IP_SUBNET_MASK=subnet mask of the Ethernet port
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=the default gateway
TFTP_SERVER=the IP of the TFTP server (your local computer)
TFTP_FILE=the file name of the IOS file
tftpdnld
 

Is there a command to simply assign the IP address to the 2811 so my PC can ping the router?

ROMmon and TFTPDNLD is about to become obsolete.  Why?  Because with CF/SD media being used for storage by some Cisco routers, you can eject the CF/SD from the slot, insert into a multi-card reader and copy the IOS from your client to the CF/SD card faster than ROMmon and/or TFTPDNLD can do.  

If you really want to go down the old-fashion road of TFTPDNLD, then ... 

IP_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4
IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=1.2.3.1
TFTP_SERVER=1.2.3.1
TFTP_FILE=yipee_ka.yay
