via the Internet, the Valet will forward those requests to the
appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,
you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on the Basic Setup
screen, refer to “DHCP Reservation” on page 17 for more
details).
