To assign a station name to the B060-032-8:

Click on the target station in the tree view to select it.

From the Administration menu, choose Station Management. The Station Management Web Page appears (Figure 7).

Type a name in the Station Name field. Station names may be up to 15 characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, space, and hyphen. Enter a unique name for the station in the KVM installation.

Click Save.
