You can fix the addresses for all devices in your network by using a router setting. For each device, you tell the router the MAC address of the device and the IP address you want for it.

The MAC address is not related to Apple Macintosh. It consists of 6 pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by colons and you should be able to find it on a sticker somewhere on the device. On the Melco, you can see it by using the front panel selections Status > Network > LAN.

If you set up your network in this way, each device contacts the router using the DHCP protocol to request an IP address and the router returns a fixed address instead of a randomly allocated one. The device isn't aware that the router is using a fixed address.
