It is best to do this on the machine itself and not remotely as you will lose connection.

sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.`date +"%m-%d-%Y_%I-%M-%S"`
sudo sed -i 's|address 192.168.1.16|address 10.1.1.16|' /etc/network/interfaces
sudo sed -i 's|netmask 255.255.255.0|netmask 255.255.0.0|' /etc/network/interfaces
sudo sed -i 's|gateway 192.168.1.1|gateway 10.1.1.1|' /etc/network/interfaces
sudo service resolvconf restart
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo reboot
