Device Model
•
All letters are converted to uppercase.
•
All characters except numbers, periods, and hyphens, are converted to hyphens,
and successive hyphens are converted to a single hyphen.
Serial Number
•
All letters are converted to lowercase.
•
All characters except numbers, periods, and hyphens, are converted to hyphens,
and successive hyphens are converted to a single hyphen.
Circuit Name
•
If two devices are connected, they should have the same circuit name. This
allows facility profiles to be created for connections, which causes the
connections to be displayed on the network map.
Site Name
•
A site name can contain any character except the following:
– Space
– Asterisk (*)
– Comma (,)
– Question Mark (?)
– Hyphen (-)
– Exclamation Mark (!)
– Quotation Mark (‘‘)
– Back slash (\)
•
All letters are converted to lowercase.
•
All other characters except numbers, periods, and hyphens, are converted to
hyphens, and successive hyphens are converted to a single hyphen.
•
The site name should be spelled uniformly in all profiles and special attention
should be given to the use of spaces and hyphens. Otherwise, more than one
site profile may be created for the same site. For example:
HoustonTX becomes houstontx
Houston, TX becomes houston-tx
Houston Tex becomes houston-tex
•
Distinct site names should be used whenever devices have different site contact
phone numbers, or are to be positioned at different locations on the network
map. Using the same site name in such instances will result in only one phone
number being migrated, and only one site being created and displayed on the
network map.
