Reservation of IP address on a DHCP Router
The best way to reserve a permanent IP address to a specific Index printer is via
reservation of the MAC address of the printer to a specific IP address on the router.
This is typically a task for the Network Administrator. For detailed information,
search on the internet for "Reservation of IP address on DHCP + (Your router
name)".
