Every station on the network requires a unique IP Address. In addition to this address (a series of numbers), each station can have a unique Display Name and a unique Station Name. The station’s Display Name adds an easily-understood text name. Its Station Name can be more technical using industry abbreviations, acronyms, and labels. If the system has a single controller, the default Station Name is sufficient. In a company-wide installation, a best practice is to give each station (controller and Supervisor) meaningful names that conform to a standard naming convention.
