 Specific Name                      Help 1 of 1
     Each NACS port must be identified by a unique, specific port name.  This name lets users access the port using the specific name.  The specific name may identify the service provided by the port, indicate the phone number used by the modem connected to the port, or convey other significant information.  For more information on how specific names are used, refer to "The NASI Name Service" on page 1-8 of the NACS Administration Guide.

     This option allows you to assign a general name to a port.  The general name is usually applied to more than one port on the NACS.  When users request a port by the general name, they get access to the first port with that name that is available.  This lets users "pool" ports or modems.  For more information on assigning specific names and general names, refer to "The NASI Name Service" on page 1-8 of the NACS Administration Guide.
