In Client Access all you have to do to ensure your user allocates the same 
device
name every time is on the client session go to communication then configure.
There is a workstation id field that allows you to give a session a unique name.
The only limitation is that you can only start one session. If you require
multiple sessions on the same device you have to define multiple client access
sessions.
