One negative effect that's associated with station (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ident

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'station' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'one negative effect that's associated with' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'negative effect' becomes 'dent' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'that's associated with' says to put letters next to each other.
'i'+'dent'='IDENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ident that I've seen before include "not much, which shows your station" , "image on screen" , "short film sequence" , "Broadcast indicating TV channel" , "Short BBC sequence" .)
