The Interface Setup Menu presents these names so that they can be assigned
to a hardware input or output port. Each abbreviated name is then presented
in appropriate locations of the USER SETUP MENU to provide the user
with choices of data sources, or identified to the AP35 where to look for
various types of data.
When you assign a hardware port to an abbreviated name, you are simply
telling the AP35 system that when the user chooses an abbreviated name as a
data source it should look to the hardware port assigned to the abbreviated
name for the data.
