Adds a Network cDAQ device to the system and, if specified,
        attempts to reserve it.

        Args:
            ip_address (str): Specifies the string containing the IP
                address (in dotted decimal notation) or hostname of the
                device to add to the system.
            device_name (Optional[str]): Indicates the name to assign to
                the device. If unspecified, NI-DAQmx chooses the device
                name.
            attempt_reservation (Optional[bool]): Indicates if a
                reservation should be attempted after the device is
                successfully added. By default, this parameter is set to
                False.
            timeout (Optional[float]): Specifies the time in seconds to
                wait for the device to respond before timing out.
        Returns:
            nidaqmx.system.device.Device: 
            
            Specifies the object that represents the device this
            operation applied to.
