By default, stations are listed in the Stations navigation pane using their computer name. (When at the computer, find this name by right-clicking on the My Computer icon and selecting Properties.) You may want to rename stations to address issues such as the following:
Two stations have the same name, which can happen if a machine has been ghosted, or if a remote station happens to have the same computer name as an on-site station.
A station's computer name has been changed at the computer. (The Stations section is not automatically updated with the new name.)
You can use the station identifier to distinguish which station is which, and use that to rename one of the stations.
To find a station's identifier
At the station, from the List or Configure area bar, click the Help menu.
Select About IMPAX.
Note the station identifier.
To close the About dialog, click OK.
