5220 appliance initial setup problem

we have a 5220 appliance that needs to configure as a media server, however, the traditional master server is not avialable at this time, is that possible to just configure the appliance networking part now and reconfigure the rest of the setup (host/system, security, appliance role) at a later time?

The reason for making networking ready is that we can configure the appliance again remotely when the master server is ready.

Thanks
