Some routers have a sections for static IP exceptions to the DHCP you are running. It will allow the communication to those static IP and continue to provide IP to the rest of the LAN using the DHCP rules you set. You shouldn't need go that route though. If you assing the static IP to the web and IP address that is inside the DHCP range or your LAN range of IPs it should work fine. The router should accept it as an good IP. The router will know the IP is in use and will not assign it elsewhere. The workstation knows it is static and does not ask the DHCP for a new IP like the others will when the lease is up.
The static IP may need to be inside the DHCP range you have setup.
