5.3.7 Port Messages
Various degrees of “verbosity” are available for ports receiving ETS messages. Messages from other users
on the ETS can be enabled or disabled with the Broadcast flag. If the serial line connecting a terminal to the
ETS is an unsure connection, setting Loss Notification will cause an audible beep if a character is lost.
Finally, Verification will allow or prohibit the printing of informational messages as session connections
are started, exited, or switched.
These parameters are all enabled by default. If you would like to disable them (for example, if you wish to
decrease packet traffic), enter the following commands:

5.3.8 Port Names
The default name for each port is Port_n, where n denotes the port number. To assign a new name to a port,
use the Set/Define Port Name command.

A default username can also be specified for a port using the Set/Define Port Username command. When
the username is specified with the this command, users will not be prompted for a username upon login.
