Abstract
A method of assigning a predetermined IP address to a device for installation on a private network. This IP address can be assigned before installation into any private network without having to be reassigned and without creating addressing conflicts, thereby simplifying the installation process. A registered global IP address is obtained from an Internet Registry and assigned to a multiplicity of devices. Exactly one such device is installed on the private network. The device has an internal router that captures data packets associated with the global IP address, so that this traffic is not put onto a public network connected to the private network. Because the registered global IP address is unique and intended for public networks, no other device on the private network has this address. Thus, the device's assigned IP address is guaranteed not to conflict with existing IP address assignments on the private network.
