Another approach: Most routers have an option to assign a "static" DHCP IP address to a device based on its MAC address. This is my favorite approach. That way, the HF will always get an IP that will not conflict with anything else on the network, and it does it through DHCP, so you do not have to manually deal with all the IP address info.
