customer identifier (CID)

The customer identifier is used in customer network management (CNM) to
limit the user’s access to components that belong to the same customer
identifier. A CNM operator can send commands only to components
provisioned with the same CID as the operator. A CNM operator receives only
data collection system (DCS) data, such as alarms, that is generated by
components provisioned with the same CID as that of the operator. The
special CID of 0 is reserved for the network owner, known as the network
manager (Netman). A CID of zero is required to provision the overall network.
