<< <%SKIN-STRTRANS-SYNTOC%> >> Navigation:  Quick Guide: Naming Conventions > Abbreviations and Numbering

For all our naming conventions we recommend beginning with a 3 or 4 letter abbreviation. This should be a shortened version of where the POP Site is found. For example, if the POP-Location Westminster, then this could be abbreviated to WMST or WSTM.

 

This 4-letter abbreviation will then form the basis for all component names within it, such as the OTDR, OLT and Network names, helping you to identify any component within that POP-Location.

 

To allow for the maximum deployment, we suggest all numbers use at least two digits, preceding a single digit number with a zero if necessary. For example, eight would be 08.

 

The following sections outline UTEL's recommendations for naming components for ease of identification.  This can be adapted and discussed with the customer at the pre-installation stage, but has proven to be a method that works.
