MN-B-C-D
MN: cabinet
number
For example, A01 is the first cabinet in row A.
B: chassis
number
Numbered in bottom-up order with two digits, for
example, 01.
C: physical slot
number
Numbered with two digits in top-down and left-
right order. For example, 01.
D: network port
number
Numbered in top-down and left-right orders. For
example, 01.
MN-Z
MN: cabinet
number
For example, B02 is the second cabinet in row B.
Z: Location
number
Fill in the location number of the terminal device
on site. If the cable is connected to a device in a
cabinet, specify the serial numbers of the cabinet,
the chassis, and the Ethernet interface of the device.
For example, B02-03-12. If the cable is connected
to the Network Management Station (NMS),
specify the specific location of the NMS.
The contents of the labels for network cables connecting hubs and devices or agents and the
network cables for other purposes should be specified according to actual connections. The
details are as follows:
l
For a network cable connecting a hub and device, the label on the hub end should
indicate the numbers of the chassis and cabinet where the hub resides, and the serial
number on the hub. The label on the device end should indicate the number of the
chassis and cabinet where the device is located. If the device is a standalone device,
provide the specific position of the device.
l
For a network cable connecting a hub and an agent or terminal, the label on the agent or
terminal end should contain the serial number of the network interface. The definitions
of the cabinet number and chassis number are the same as those described in
l
If the hub is a standalone device without a cabinet or chassis, the label should contain
specific location information that identifies the hub.
The serial number on the hub, the network interface number of the agent or terminal, and the
location of the standalone device should be specified according to actual connections.
