Stations Panel
The Stations Panel displays a list of the stations on the ring to which the selected

If the number of nodes exceeds the panel size, scroll bars will appear in the list
box that will allow you to scroll through the station list to view the node of
interest.

An index number assigned to each station that indicates its position on the ring in
relation to the HSIM-F6. The monitored HSIM-F6 is always 1. Note that stations
are listed in reverse index order, with the HSIM-F6 appearing last on the list.
