12.6.31 Set/Define Ports Name
Sets a unique name for each port, or a common name for a group of ports. Giving the same name to several
ports may be desirable, for example, when you want to label them as modem connection ports or dedicated
SLIP/PPP ports.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
Parameters PortList/All
Specifies a particular port or group of ports, or all ports. Port numbers should
be separated with commas (for lists) or dashes (for ranges).
Note: In the absence of a PortList or the All parameter, the configuration will affect the
current port only.
portname
A name of up to 16 characters composed of alphanumerics or the underscore
(“_”) character. If the name is not enclosed in quotation marks, it will be
converted to uppercase.
Note: The default portname is Port_n, where n is the port number.
Examples Local>> SET PORT 2 NAME “highspeed_modem”
See Also Naming a Port, page 8-12
12.6.32 Set/Define Ports Parity
Sets the serial port’s parity to Odd, Even, or None (no parity). Note that changing the parity may affect the
configured character size.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status if you want to use this command on ports other
than your own. Secure users may not use this command.
