Can I use static IP addresses for my home computers and appliances?

Wire, Inc. - Services & Support
Yes. The system reserves the first 32 addresses in the network subnet for static use. By default the system uses the non-routable 172.16.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 subnet. Addresses 172.16.1.1 - 172.16.1.32 are reserved for static IP addresses. The system's DHCP server delivers addresses 172.16.1.33 - 172.16.1.250 to dynamic IP clients on your network. Note: The Home Network IP address scheme can also use 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 and 10.0.0.0 / 255.255.0.0, or you can configure your own subnet.

In a conventional scanner, you program frequencies into a bank to control who you listen to by selecting various banks for scanning. On a TrunkTracker, you program trunking IDs into the Scan Lists to do the same thing! Find out which IDs you want to listen to and then divide them up into useful groupings (usually by agency).
