Set up static IP addresses
Static IP addresses are used to assign a predefined IP address
to a specific client on the local network. The client is identified
by its MAC address. When Static IP is used in conjunction with
NAT port forwarding, it allows a server application to reside
on the local network and receive unsolicited data/requests
from a remote client on the external network.
