driver.

l
Destination object name: internal object name managed by the IPM application
NOTE A destination object can be defined by several complementary rules. For a same
destination object, if a rule is not applicable, it takes the next rule defined in the list.
The Chec
k button in the Rule list table header is used to compute and display the result for each rule according
parameters. The result is computed with the address or the name entered for Check with this address/
name.The Check button is enabled only if an address or a name is entered.

and applied in this dialog.
