Fixed IP address
When using a fixed IP address, you must ensure that you use an IP
address that is not being used by any other device on the network. It is
usual to keep the first three numbers of the IP address the same as other
devices and to change only the last number. For example, if you have a
network consisting of a PC (IP address 192.168.1.35) and two PP420s
could be allocated addresses 192.168.1.201 and 192.168.1.202.
