Configuration best practice

My final deployed solution is going to consist of several PC-Fieldpoint pairs all located on the company intranet. Each PC talks to its own Fieldpoint and not any other. I have the sequences and Users.ini stored on the server.

Now I'm trying to come up with the best place to store the Fieldpoint IP address on the station. I know I could create a property loader and associated xml file, and will do that if it the preferred method. But it seems like overkill to store one IP address.

Is there a better place to store information like this? I'm a beginner, so no suggestion is too obvious for me.

I'm trying to make a system that will be maintainable by a real TestStand expert - either me in the future or my replacement<g>.

Hi jtdavies,
 
It sounds like the use of Station Globals would be the ideal route for your application. Attached is an easy example showing the use of Station Globals.
