Adding extra labels on connectors in Visio 2013

Hi,

I am creating network diagrams in Visio 2013 and would like to label both ends of the connector.  There's only one label by default and I want to know how to add more. Also if possible, use labels that stick on when the position of the connector is adjusted. I have been researching but some of the information that I get don't point to the right solution or is too complicated for me to understand. I appreciate if someone could post the step-by-step procedure on how to do this.

Thank you!

see this:

Create a text block and group it with the dynamic connector.
Select the dynamic connector within the group and use Format --> Special.. from the menu. At the top of the dialog is an Id #, remember it, that will be the shapesheet number.
Open the Text Block Shapesheet. Delete the Geometry section.
In the Shape Transform Section, set the Width to Guard(TextWidth(TheText)) and the Height to a constant value so it no longer relies on the height of the grouped shape.
Set the PinX and PinY to Sheet.x!BeginX and Sheet.x!Begin Y where "x" is he shape sheet number of the Dynamic connector. (You can also use EndX and EndY). You may want to add a constant to adjust the offset.
