Enter the station number for this driver. All packets sent to this station address are forwarded to
RSLinx Classic. The default is 0.

Station Name

RSLinx Classic automatically gives each communications device a driver name, which consists of a
Driver Type and Driver Number. The actual communications device determines the Driver Type, while
the Driver Number corresponds with the instance of a given Driver Type. For example, the first
instance of this driver is named AB_MSTR-1. The next driver instance would be named AB_MSTR-2.
