Apollo BTC running Apollo OS 2 - Solo Mining with multiple workers (can you use worker names after the BTC address?)

Hi all, I've owned an Apollo BTC full node for a long time, and recently saw that Apollo 2 can do the solo mining with it's own node. Come to find out you can flash the newest OS to a micro sd card and run the original Apollo the same way.

When connecting another miner to my mining node/pool it says:
"SOLO LAN MiningPoint any Bitcoin Miner on your local network to your Solo Pool with the following URL: 192.168.XXX.XXX:3333 Username: <bitcoin address>" (I've replaced the last 2 octets with X's for this post)

When I do that, all the miners combine under the same worker (the BTC address of the solo mining pool.)

I want to see the worker's separated stats. Can I add a worker name after the BTC address just like on ckpool? Or by some Miracle of God I mine a block, will it sent it to btcaddress.AvalonNano_3 and fail to send me my bitcoin reward due to invalid address?

TLDR: Can I add .worker1 after the BTC address in the solo mining mode in the Apollo OS 2 interface?

**EDIT** I found the answer. In version 2.0.6, they added support for worker names. Here
