                   EDIT BRIDGE ID STRING HELP
The "ID String" is an optional but recommended security feature that helps control access to the network.  The remote workstation shell or remote bridge you create later must use the exact ID string you specify here in the bridge software; otherwise, the remote location will not be able to establish a connection with the bridge.
You must use the same letter case when specifying the ID string in the bridge software and in the remote workstation shell.  "ABC" and "abc" are NOT THE SAME!
To specify the ID string, enter as many as nine characters and press the SELECT key.
