For a project I am currently working on I stumbled upon the following. What is the best way to lable and name equipment?Choose a naming convention, publish it internally, and stick with it.
Well...that is the project :)
Some folks like to put airport abbreviations in their labels to attempt to indicate the geographic location of systems. I don't as there are cities with multiple airports, national and international airport labels can conflict, and I frequently find that facilities are actually in different cities than the nearest airport.
Agree. Besides, if you things like repeter stations there is not even a city. Just a location. Still, I am woundering what is the best path. To write a rule-set or grammar for generating codes, or just creating a list.
I've got a naming convention somewhere I wrote a while ago if you're interested in a starting point...
