Assigning a Reserved IP (static IP) to a Device

By default, each device will get an IP address from the Gateway's DHCP server. When a
device leaves, is turned off or the lease time of the address has expired, the IP address
becomes available and can be re-used for other devices.
When you want to run a service on a network device (for example, a web server, network
printer, etc.), it is advised to assign a "static IP" to the device. This way, the device will always
be reachable on the same address and there is no risk that you are accessing the wrong
device.
You can add a static IP through the LAN Setup screen. Click Connection and LAN to access
this screen and then click Add Static IP (see Figure 39).
