Code can be assigned to other equipment such as distribution equipment, power equipment, and measuring instruments in this way.

The following shows the code assignment according to the equipment name. First of all, a 4-digit equipment name type code is added along with the previous two-digit equipment code to express a total of 6 digit codes. Set the number of digits by using '-' as a dummy character in the added 4-digit device name type code. Numeric code for barcode is defined as 5 digits with equipment code by allocating 3 digits as equipment name type code.

Numeric codes are assigned in units of 100 starting from 001 for each type of equipment. That is, numbers are assigned as 001, 101, 201, etc. for each type of equipment. Code assignment according to equipment name type is shown in the following [Table 3].

Equipment Code Equipment Name Type Code Numeric code Explanation MX TD10 001 TDX-10 MX TD1A 002 TDX-1A MX T100 003 TDX-100 MX ATMX 004 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Exchange AD SMS- 101 Additional service information provision node AD FMS- 102 Fax box AD VMS- 103 Voicemail HL APSV 201 Use server name with HLR RC AAAA 301 Model name of base station controller equipment BS BBBB 401 Model name of base station equipment AT 2SEC / 3SEC / OMNI 501/2/3 Antenna system (2 sector type / 3 sector type / omni type) FT ST01 / ST04 / ST16 601/2/3 Optical end station system (155M / 622M / 2.5G)

In the above manner, codes can be assigned according to the type of equipment name.

The equipment name of the lowest layer can be managed by assigning a serial number or location number that can guarantee uniformity.
