If you want to identify each node differently with information such as 
location and so on, then you must define a server on the Allstar site 
for each node. Even if each node is on the same PC physically.
Since you have 3 nodes defined on one "Virtual"server, you will have to 
create 2 new servers on the Allstar site. One for each node you want to 
identify separately from the original server. Once you have done that 
then you can move the nodes to the new Vertual servers on the Allstar site.

To move a node, go to the node menu and select a node confuration - 
select one ofthe nodes you want to move off your original server. Then 
in the nodes menu, select "move node to another server". Select one 
of-the newly created servers for that node. your node will now be 
associated with the new server.

You can now update the info for the new server to reflect the node.

As for changing the node freq to show HUB or something else, go to node 
and select the node # and change the freq field in node information menu 
to say what ever you want. It should take normal text. I just tried it 
and it works.

Hope this helps,
