Type in a workstation name that will assist later in distinguishing each machine. This name must consist only of underscore letters, numbers, and dashes. For example, gxlabel=opac1 or gxlabel=inet-7. Each of the following values needs to be set as [variable]=[value], there should be no spaces after the equal sign (ex. gxsite=MainFloor).
