+.. note::
+
+   You will need to have an account with admin access privilages to access this part of the site.

+
+The first you have to do to start using the single calculus chain is to register your station.
+To do this, go the the admin section and click on the **HOI stations** in the *System settings* panel.
+This will take you to a page with a list of all stations that you account has access to. This list should
+be empty if this is the first time you add a station. 
+
+To add a new station to the database click on **Add HOI station** at the top right of the screen.
+This will take you to a new page were you can fill in the needed information. The fields in **bold**
+are mandatory and you will need to fill them before you can save you new station.
