Static IP for Aurender N100H music server?

Does anyone know how to assign a static IP to my Aurender N100H music server?  My backup failed last night and I noticed the IP had changed by one digit.  When I tried to locate the device using the UNC \\N100H-04840 is did not resolv.

On the Aurender I app I found the section for selecting the server but it only displays the network properties of the server.  I do not see an option to change.

My Aurender is on a UPS battery backup and I did not see an improper shitdown but there was a message on my QNAP that there was an improper shutdown at 3:00 am and the the file system had to be scan for corruption.

Thanks

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 :-)

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.

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.
