This parameters represents the number of stations (occupying one stations worth of memory area) used by a single slave station in a network. It is one of the two parameters that define operational settings. In case of VAT controllers, it is always paired with parameter "extended cyclic setting" in the following way.

Number of occupied stations: 1 & Extended cyclic setting: Octuple

Number of occupied stations: 4 & Extended cyclic setting: Double

The VAT slave supports only these two combinations of the CC-Link parameter settings.
It can be configured via CPA as it is shown on the snapshot:
