I have general questions about the personal information tab in the gateway 
personal information administration web site.

I get the idea behind the screen.  Short version is to assign an 8th position 
character to your call sign so it can map an IP address to you. 

Anyhow I have a shocking number of questions about this screen.  The first is 
that I initially only created one terminal.  Now If I try to add more I get the 
message:
   "WARNING : Information already registered. "

I infer that I will have to delete my existing terminal and add all of them at 
once.  Does anyone know if this is true?  It is my very limited experience that 
terminals take a while to propagate and I'm a little afraid of messing up this 
rather delicate system.



---  NEXT ---
This is the entire help text on the web page and I can't find ANY further 
information on the internet.  

  If the station has multiple radios, Target CS are distinguished 
   by initial(last character) of a space or a capital english letter.
   Definition character as follows..... (G)is a gateway. (S)is a 
   local server.
   Usually RPT(Repeater) isn't checked, initaial AreaRPT CS is the 
   port A of ZoneRPT CS.  
   If RPT is checked, AreaRPT CS is the same as Target CS.



Can someone who understands the gateway software please explain:
1. What it means by a "server"?  
2. What is a "repeater" with regard to a DSTAR gateway? 
3. Finally I am totally lost with what it's talking about with ZoneRPT and 
AreaRPT.

Any insight greatly appreciated.
