Values

 

A = Account

NNNNN

A 5 digit numeric account code. Using ten thousand level as an account type, and the thousand level as a sub type and the next three positions as account ID.

C = Campus

AAAAA

A 5 digit alpha numeric code to identify a site or campus. (ie. State, City, Branch)

 

B = Building

NNNNN

A 5 digit alpha numeric code for each building. Possibly tied to a work order or facility management database. Might include tenant code or retail space, etc.

991 - 999 are used to identify regions of a campus

 

S = Space Type

AAAA

Used to qualify a space with a Riser-Level ID

STAR Space that serves as a Logical Center of the data network

NOC Network Operations Center

CERB Communication Equipment Room - Backbone (TRB)

CER Communication Equipment Room (TR)

WS Workstation Location

AP Access Point - Horizontal to Vertical Transition or Exterior Location

SR Switch Room

CO Central Office

SZ Serving Zone

RO Repeater Office

 

R = Riser

AA

Defines a group of rooms served from a CER. Typically shown from a plan view perspective (top down view). Assigned left to right and top to bottom ("read it like a book") or clockwise around a facility. In the case of an Exterior AP this position can be used to further qualify the type of access point (i.e. MH-Maintenance Hole, HH-Handhole, BR-Bridge, TN-Tunnel, TP-Telephone Pole, DB-Direct Buried location, SM-Submerged location, EN-Entrance, VL-Vault, PE-Pedestal, RT-Roof Top.)

 

L = Level

AA

Defines the floor/level of the facility that the Space is on.

T = Identifier Type

aAAbb

This position is used to qualify the Major Identifier. This position can also contain a sub qualifier to identify the media or material type described.

The "a" and "bb" are optional.

CI-Carrier ID

M = Major Identifier

A

This position is used for the alpha numeric ID of the item being identified

 

m = Minor Identifier

NNNN

This position identifies a specific aspect of the item. (i.e. Chassis Slot.Port, Binder,Pair, Cable,Count, Cable,Lower - Upper Range, Cable.Pair, Duct.SubDuct, Cable,Strand, Frequency,Hrtz

 

r = Room (MLC)

AAAAAA

This position is used to document the room number. For the purposes of the telecommunication database or documentation it is suggested that a Master Location Code (MLC) be assigned to each space. The reason for this is that the telecommunications department does not control room numbers, whereas, a MLC created and assigned can be static as cross-referenced to the current room number.

 

O = Outlet Location Code (OLC)

AA

This position is used to identify the faceplate/outlet location in an MLC. This is especially useful in large open landscape areas or warehouse areas, etc. Suggested scheme to start on the left wall and proceed around the room in a clockwise direction. For future additions the OLC can make use of a decimal assignment. (i.e. if a new location is added between OLC 1 and OLC 2 the new ID should be proportional to the distance from 1 or 2 with a mid point equaling 1.5, leaving room on either side for additional locations.

 

P = Position

N

The "Read it like a book" rule is used for this entry. Left to right and top to bottom.

 

D = Device Type

AAA

This alpha numeric position is used to qualify the type of device being identified. The following are some examples. This list is intend only to provide a sample. There are an endless number of device types that could be attached. The key with this position is to establish a master list that works

ANL - Analog

CMR - Camera

DIG - Digital

DLR - Dialer

FAX - Fax

GBR - Glass Break

HNS - Handset

MDM - Modem

MIC - Microphone

MNT - Monitor

PAY - Payphone

PC1 - PC

RDR - Reader

SNS - Sensor

SPK - Speaker

STK - Strike

STR - Strobe

TEL - Telephone

TTY - Tele Type

TV1 - Television

WLP - Wall Phone

 

I = Device ID

AAAAA

A unique identifier such as a bar code or asset management code.

Fiber

Should be able to adjust markers and view electronically on a PC.

 

 

Coax

Designed Launch value, attenuation calculations, media type and tap values.

 

 

Radio

Documentation should include licensing information, frequency and signal strength, date of test, etc.

 

Attributes of Identifiers

 

 

 

 

 

Attribute field should be used to attach additional information to the identifiers described above. (i.e. make, model, features, interface, connectors, etc.)

 

Section and Circuit ID's

 

 

 

 

Circuit ID

Circuit ID is attached to all elements traversed to establish a connection. It is comprised of the origination and the destination ID's or as defined by LEC/CLEC if it is a WAN circuit.

 

 

Unique ID

Same ID is used for each end of a cable, strand, pair, conduit or sleeve. (i.e. A fiber strand is labeled the same on each end, as in example number 2.)

 

 

Origination

Most central, collapsed point logically or physically and/or lowest alpha numeric ID

 

 

Destination

Least central point and/or highest alpha numeric ID
