Static IP for Aurender N100H music server?

Sorry cleeds, just a different way of saying the same thing.  Yes, DHCP reservation is the same as static IP.

I am trying to avoid having to shut my Aurender down so put it on a good quality 'server grade' Tripp-Lite UPS.  By the looks of it last night it worked because my QNAS apparently has a power glitch and my router is plugged into the same circuit.  I have a UPS for that circuit as well but the battery is dead.  Another project.

The Aurender did not have any messages regarding an improper shutdown.

Improper N100H shutdowns and the corrupted OS that can result are big reasons I dumped my N100H. What a freakin' nuisance.

In any event, you can assign the N100H a static address using your router's browser. That way, when anything is rebooted (streamer, computer, router), your software will always see your streamer.

In you router you can assign an IP reservation from DHCP using the MAC address which I have laready done, but a static IP can only be assigned on the device. Networking 101 :-)

I’m having the same problem with my Zen Stream so you have my deepest sympathies.  Ugh. 

Regardless of the type of server/streamer, I think it makes sense to assign it a static IP address so that software finds the streamer on a reboot. You can set that up in your router interface.
