When a device is set for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and nothing serves it an
address it defaults to what is know as a link local address; this IP address takes the form of
169.254.X.X with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. as is seen here. Click on this device to highlight it
and in the pane on the right a dialog will appear where the address of the device can be changed
(Fig. 9 on next page).
