A.2 Engineering Labels for Ethernet Cables
These labels are affixed to the Ethernet cables that connect the boards in the frames, or
on the cables that connect HUBs and servers or agents of the Value Added Service
(VAS) products.
I. Meaning of the Label
Table A-2 shows the information on both sides of the labels affixed to the Ethernet
cables that connect the boards in the frames.
Table A-2 Information on labels affixed to the Ethernet cables
Content Meaning Example
MN: Cabinet number For example, A01
B: Frame number
Numbered in top-down order with two digits,
for example, 01
C: Physical slot
number Numbered in top-down and left-right order with
two digits, for example, 01
MN-B-C-D
D: Ethernet port
number Numbered in top-down and left-right order with
two digits, for example, 01
MN: Cabinet number For example, B02
MN-Z
Z: Location number
Valid location number of the terminal device
onsite. If the cable is connected to a router in a
cabinet, the serial numbers of the cabinet, the
frame and the Ethernet interface of the router
should be specified, for example, B02-03-12.
If the cable is connected to the Network
Management Station (NMS), specific location
of the NMS should be given.
In VAS products, the information provided on the labels is different, subject to different
devices that the Ethernet cables are connecting.
z Labels for the Ethernet cable that connects the HUB and the server
1) The label on the HUB end should indicate the number of the frame and cabinet
where the HUB locates, and the serial number on the HUB.
2) The label on the server end should indicate the number of the frame and cabinet
where the server locates. In case it is a stand-alone server, specific position of the
server should be provided.
z Labels for the Ethernet cable that connects the HUB and the agent
3) The label on the agent end should contain the serial number of the Ethernet port.
The definitions of the cabinet number and frame number are the same as those
described in Table A-2 above.
4) If it is a stand-alone HUB without any cabinet or frame, the label should contain
specific location information that identifies the HUB.
