Generic naming convention
The following is the generic naming convention that the Optical Transport Manager uses for object classes:
<PREFIX>-<TID>/<bay>-<shelf>-<slot>[-sub-slot]/[port num/] <Port Type>-<Port Direction>[-<channel>][-BandName][-AD|-PT]
The following table lists the parts of the naming convention and what they identify.
Name part | Description |
|---|---|
| Internal code for the class. |
| Terminal identifier |
| Bay location of Optical NetworkElement |
| Shelf number |
| Slot number used for Card. |
| Sub-slot number for sub-card. This is optional. |
| Port Number on a given card. This is optional. |
| Type of port; for example, OMS/OCH/OCN. |

| Channel number. This is optional. |
| Band name if exists. This is optional. |
| Add Drop. This is optional. |
| Pass Through. This is optional. |
Some fields, even those not indicated as optional, may not be valid for every object type. For example,
- An OpticalNetworkElement object has only a TID field.
- A Card object has the following fields:<PREFIX>-TID/<bay>-<shelf>-<slot>The following object classes use specialized naming conventions:
- Facility:<PREFIX>-<VendorSpecificString>
- FiberLink, BBFiberLink, OchLink, OcnLink, and OmsLink:<PREFIX>-<A-End Link>--><Z-End Link>
- PTP:<PREFIX>-<TID>/<rack>-shelf>-<slot>-<sub slot>/<port num>
