The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I follow you now and I love it but it's not my call. I'm forced to use
primitive methods from the admin who just told me he cleaned up some
addresses on the spreadsheet because he pinged them and they "weren't
being used". The devices could have been out for repair, or otherwise
off-line of course.

Well of course we use DHCP but we need to permanently assign addresses

So?
Just let DHCP assign the IP (which, I suspect, most devices default to
out of the box) ... but configure DHCP to assign the same IP all the
time. That way all your devices use the same IP assignment mechanism
... but some devices get the same IP every time.
Depending on your DHCP server it may be called a 'IP Reservation'.
