Purpose and Scope


1

1. Purpose and ScopeThe purpose of this document is to provide personnel requesting a Common Language Equipment Identification CLEI™ Code with detailed information needed and the process used to establish a CLEI Code. Common Language Information Services maintains a database that supports the CLEI code data structure, as outlined per GR-485-CORE and ANSI ATIS-0300213.

There is a one-to-one relationship between a CLEI Code and a Manufacturer’s Product Code that is physically stamped on the product.

The CLEI Code is assigned to the Least Significant Unit (LSU) level and is not for identifying configurations (combination of LSU’s). Each LSU has its own life-cycle. Examples of LSU’s include Plug-in, SFF, Sub-rack, Shelf, Bay, etc.

The CLEI Code is used to represent the physical characteristics and capabilities of equipment, not the logical representation or configuration.

The CLEI Code product is used by Carriers/Service Providers to support daily business operations such as network design/layout, asset processes, life-cycle and change management.

The predominant means of providing equipment coding requests to iconectiv is the use of the Common Language Equipment Identification (CLEI Code) Request Form. The CLEI Request Form includes all fields outlined in GR-485-CORE, titled “Common Language Equipment Codes (CLEI Codes) – Generic Requirements for Processes and Guidelines”. These fields identify various product characteristics of the equipment that are supported by a CLEI Code record. This Job Aid contains multiple equipment request examples using the CLEI Request Form and inputs needed for the specific technologies/devices listed below:

DWDM

IP

SONET

TDM

Examples of equipment types that are CLEI Coded include:

Transmission Equipment

o Wired or Wireless transmission equipment

Switching Equipment

o Packet and Circuit

Network Control Equipment

o SS7, IP Multimedia Sub-systems, etc.

Monitoring/Surveillance

o Portable Tools

o Test Equipment


Common Language Equipment Identification CLEI™ Code Request Job Aid Issue 4, December 2015 Purpose and Scope

Network Support Equipment

o Devices supporting billing and accounting

Security devices

o Session Border Controllers

o Devices for Network protection (e.g., firewalls, etc.)

Network Power Equipment

o Plant power equipment, including; emergency (back-up) power equipment

1.1 CLEI Code Prerequisites

The following are prerequisites to requesting a CLEI Code:

A Master Agreement (MA) contract must be in place in order for clients to do business with iconectiv.

A Manufacturer Code, a basic element to a Product ID, is required. If needed, one can be obtained by accessing the Telcordia Super Store.

1.2 Mediums for Submitting Equipment Request

GR-485-CORE outlines the requirements to obtain a CLEI code. The CLEI request form is a tool that can be utilized to provide this information, although the information may be provided in any format the requesting client chooses (e.g. product literature).

2. CLEI Code Request FormThis section is intended to provide a breakdown of the request form and define each field. Clients are encouraged to complete the Request Form as best they can and send to iconectiv along with supporting documentation. Providing supporting documentation about the product can alleviate questions that may occur during the coding process.

There are four tabs associated with the request form:

Request Information

New Item Request

PCN Change Request

Flag-and-point and Product Code changes

2.1 Request Information Tab

Figure 2.1 explains the Request Information tab, which specifies the contact information and other request level information. The information includes:

Requestor

Technical Contact

Figure 1 - Request Information Tab The Technical and Billing Contact Information is only provided if it differs from the Requestor Contact Information. There are additional fields for Purchase Order information and a field for indicating that an estimate is requested.


Issue 4, December 2015 Common Language Equipment Identification CLEI™ Code Request Job Aid CLEI Code Request Form

iconectiviConfidential — Restricted Access See confidentiality restrictions on title page. 5

A confirmed means of payment will need to be established prior to coding. This can be a Purchase Order (PO) that is provided specifically for the requested item(s), a blanket PO, or other means of payment (such as a credit card). iconectiv will provide equipment code estimates upon request.

Under the “Request Information” section there are fields for providing:

Purchase Order Number

Customer Control Number

Estimate Required (Y/N)

Expedite Required (Y/N)

The Customer Control Number field is for customers to input their own tracking number (internal to the client) at the request level.

The Estimate Required field is to indicate whether an estimate is required.

The Expedite Required field is to indicate that the request is urgent and that codes need to be expedited as soon as possible. Expedites can guarantee specific deliverable dates and are handled on a case-by-case basis. Deliverable dates must be mutually agreed upon. Expedites are impacted by the size and complexity of request.

NOTE: Expedite services incur an additional fee.

There is also an optional field on the Request Information Tab for the requesting client to specify the Carrier / Service Provider for whom the requested items are supporting. If this request is for a specific customer, identify the customer’s name

Clients can point to their web site(s) for product information in the Supporting Documentation Included field.

Figure 2 - New Item Request (Fields Item Number through Ordering Code)

2.2.1 Item Number

Each product requiring coding must be a separate item on the request form. This column assists with keeping track of the number of items within a given request.

2.2.2 Manufacturer Code

All request items require an established Manufacturer four-character code. New clients can request a manufacturer’s four-character code.

The Manufacturer Code field must be populated with the 4-character code that supports the requested item.

2.2.3 Product Code

Encompasses two unique fields, titled on the request form as follows:

Manufacturing Part Number (25-character alpha-numeric field)

Release or Series (6-character alpha-numeric field)

The Product Code is also referred to as a product identifier. The Product Code must be unique and used to track the item through its life-cycle. Product changes vary in severity. Major product changes include corrections to the product. Minor product changes include internal component changes that do not impact form, fit, or function. With each product

change, a new Product Code will be submitted and an accompanied CLEI Code will be created. For more information on product changes please refer to GR-209-CORE.

iconectiv does not specify how a Manufacturer should structure their product code(s) and therefore supports various product identifiers such as:

Manufacturer Code, Noun and Number

Manufacturer Code, Noun, Number and Series

The Manufacturing Part Number column can include a part number along with the vintage/release/series/issue information if the given manufacturer tracks this information within this field.

For clients who track vintage/series/release/issue information uniquely, they should input this information within the field titled Release or Series.

2.2.4 Noun

Noun is a high level descriptor of the equipment (such as transceiver, antenna, server, chassis, etc).

There is a drop-down menu for commonly used nouns on the request form. Clients can select from the drop-down or populate their own noun if they do not see a noun that describes the requested item.

NOTE: A full list of active nouns can be found in Appendix A at the end of this document.

2.2.5 System ID(s)

System Identifier (System ID) may also be referred to as “platform name” or “marketing name”. A System ID is the name assigned by a Network Element Provider (NEP) to an organized assembly of equipment designed to perform a certain network function(s) within one or more technologies. System Identifiers may consist of one or more equipment components.

If an item is part of multiple systems and therefore associated with multiple System IDs, all should be provided.

For new System IDs, an overview (e.g. diagram showing use of system) should be provided so the equipment can be properly analyzed and classified.

Note: Clients should notify iconectiv via email of any change to a System ID (e.g. name change, functionality, etc).

Note: Generic items, such as batteries and common frames, may not have a System ID affiliation. In these cases, System ID is not required.

2.2.6 Description and Features

Provide engineering features within this free-form field. This information, encoded in the CLEI, provides the unique characteristics of the equipment to the end user. This information is critical to provide support for Carriers’ equipment related processes. Requesting clients

2.2.10 HMI

Hazardous Material Indicator (HMI) is used for indicating hazardous materials, such as those identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Manufacturers should indicate if their products contain any materials which may present environmental or occupational concerns and are required to meet notification regulations prior to disposal or salvage operations.

Currently there are 3 classifications of Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) that are addressed in the HMI field, they are;

• RoHS-5; Defined as products that contain any of the following allowable substances; Cadmium (Cd) Mercury (Hg) Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) flame retardants Lead (pb)

• RoHS-6; Defined as full compliance without any traces or use of the allowablehazardous materials found with products that are rated as RoHS-5.




12

• RoHS-2; Defined as full compliance to RoHS-6 but also includes an additional certification that approves the equipment for medical installations such as that which can be used within hospitals for example.

HMI Value

Description

Null Value is equivalent to a Not Supplier attribute

Y Yes – item contains hazardous material (non-RoHS)

N No – item contains no hazardous material (non-RoHS)

2 RoHS-2 similar to RoHS-6 but includes conditions that are found compliant for medical installations per 2011/65/EU

5 RoHS-5 contains traces of listed hazardous material per directive 2002/95/EC

6 RoHS-6 item contains no hazardous material per directive 2002/95/EC

Table 1. Values available within the HMI field

NOTE: For additional information refer to the EPA and OSHA web sites:

www.epa.gov

www.osha.gov

If HMI has a value of “Y” (item has hazardous material), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) information should be provided in the MSDS fields.

When a product change only addresses RoHS compliance, this is equivalent to a Class D change (see class D). If there are functional product changes to be implemented refer to section 2.3 PCN Change Request Tab for more information.

2.2.11 MSDS Document Number

If HMI is “Y”, clients should provide the index/identifier found within an MSDS database. A given request item can have more than one MSDS listing, which should be provided.

2.2.12 MSDS Issuing Agency Name

This is the CLEI Code of backward compatible or an interchangeable item. When a later version of a Plug-in is substitutable for a Plug-in of a prior version for maintenance purposes, the new (later version) Plug-in is considered to be compatible with the old (prior version) Plug-in. The new Plug-in usually has the same form and fit, but with more functions than the old one. The compatibility of Plug-ins is needed so that service providers can properly manage Plug-in substitution. Compatibility identification is limited to Plug-in equipment only.

2.2.18 Alarm Capable

2.2.33 CLEI Code Label Type

Label Type indicates the type of label that appears on an item. For example, label type “M” indicates that the CLEI Label is a 2D label. GR-383-CORE requires that only a label type “M” shall be used. However, other linear bar code label types (encoded in the Code 39 symbology) were permitted prior to the 2D implementation date. If you are still applying one of these linear bar code labels to the product, indicate the type from the list below:




Type F: This label consists of a black, properly spaced bar code and separate alphanumeric CLEI code on a white background. The back of the label should be coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is protected with a suitable release liner. The bar code alphanumeric pair to be imprinted on the label should be as specified by an Equipment Catalog Item (ECI) number. A 6-digit ECI number and an associated 10-character CLEI code are uniquely assigned to each specific Plug-in unit. The label should have the bar code equivalent of six characters imprinted on its face. These six characters represent the six digits of the ECI number and a start/stop (S/S) character should precede and follow these six characters. Type G: This label is identical in design to the Type F label except that it should be die cut. Type J: This label consists of a black, properly spaced bar code and separate alphanumeric CLEI code on a white background. The back of the label should be coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is protected with a suitable release liner. The bar code alphanumeric pair to be imprinted on the label should be as specified by an Equipment Catalog Item (ECI) number. A 6-digit ECI number and an associated 10-character CLEI code are uniquely assigned to each specific Plug-in unit. The label should have the bar code equivalent of six characters imprinted on its face. These six characters represent the six digits of the ECI number and a start/stop (S/S) character should precede and follow these six characters. Type K: The label is identical in design to the Type J label.

2.3 PCN Change Request Tab

A PCN (Product Change Notice) Change is a modification to an existing product that has a new product code. The PCN Change Request tab, similar to the New Item Request tab, is used to capture product attributes. Additional details about PCNs are available in GR-209-CORE.

The GR-209-CORE, titled “Generic Requirements for Product Change Notices (PCNs)” outlines the process to track and notify product changes. Product changes include minor product enhancements as well as major changes, such as corrections to found problems with deployed equipment.

The Figure below displays information for the Manufacturer’s new product code.

2.3.1.5 Description of Change

Clients should indicate the functionality that is being introduced, omitted, or corrected. This description should match the PCN change description issued to the industry.

2.3.1.6 PCN Classification

This field indicates the GR-209-CORE PCN Classification: Class-A

Changes that are required to correct a product deficiency; for example: o Safety or fire hazard

o Electrically or mechanically inoperative

o Operational or design defects that cause:

a. Higher than the supplier’s specified product failure rates on a per unit rate (i.e., failure in time for a circuit pack), or b. Adverse customer or subscriber reaction.

o • Product does not operate as documented in the supplier’s descriptive literature and/or product technical specifications, as warranted by the supplier or specified in a customer contract

Corrects a product that is found to be inoperable or has other major problems of operation (e.g., safety, fire or other high failure rates that classifies the product electrically or mechanically inoperative).

Class-AC Changes that would otherwise be classified as Class A changes, but the change affects only a limited number of a particular product or is a change necessary to correct a condition that affects:

o • A specific subset of products

o • Specific product combinations

o • The use of certain options/configurations.

Class-B

Changes that are made to incorporate improvements in the design of existing products that result in better operation, improved testing and maintenance, longer life, service improvements, operational cost reductions to a customer, and/or addition of new features. Class B changes are applied to




manufactured products, and may be recommended for application to existing equipment already deployed.

As an example; a 4-port OC-48 (2.5G) DWDM Plug-in that operates at 1577.02 nanometers and then an enhancement is added to include jitter management. A new product code must accompany this new product offering with jitter management and all previous information is also reflected such as 4-port OC-48 (2.5G) DWDM operating at 1577.02NM. The rule is if there is an impact to Form, Fit or Function a change in the first seven characters of the CLEI Code is required.

Class-D Changes that incorporate minor new features and design improvements that do not affect the existing functionality or interchangeability of a product, or that involve other minor improvements to service, testing, or other capabilities. Component changes that involve minor physical or electrical specification differences to the replaced component are considered Class D. Changes where the supplier has a business need for traceability are considered Class D. For any product change that appears to meet the criteria for both Class D, and either a Class A, AC, or B, the change shall be designated as Class A, AC, or B.

2.4.1 Flag-and-Point Operations

When a request is needed for a change to a CLEI code that has been created and released to the industry, the Flag-and-Point process should be used. This allows for a new CLEI code to be created, the “established” CLEI can then be “pointed” to the new CLEI, and no changes are necessary to the Service Provider’s operations. A flagged CLEI code’s orderable status will be changed to “NO” (Not Orderable). An example includes an item that has been processed as a PCN Class D change, and later determined to be a PCN Class B change.

Below are the fields from the Flag-and-point and Product Code Change tab:

2.4.1.1 Item Number




2.4.1.3 New Product Code







36


Clients should indicate the reason for the Flag-and-Point request. The previous PCN Class submitted for the CLEI and the corrected PCN Class should be provided. For example, “CLEI ABC1234XAB was created as a PCN Class D, but should have been created as a PCN Class B. The reason for this change is to incorporate enhanced EMI”.


See PCN Classification on the PCN Request tab.

For the example above, the value supplied should be “B”.


The product code of the existing equipment being changed. Manufacturing Part Number and Release/Series are components of the Old Product Code.


2.4.1.8 CLEI Code





2.4.2 Product Code Changes

A Product Code change, associated to a CLEI code, can be requested via the Flag-and-point and Product Code Change tab. This allows for a CLEI code record to be updated with the correct product code. This is supported only if the related product was never shipped to the field.

Below are the fields from the Flag-and-point and Product Code Change tab:

2.4.2.1 Item Number




2.4.2.3 New Product Code

This field is used to provide the correct Product Code.





Clients should indicate the reason for the Product Code change request, along with confirmation the item has not been shipped to the field.

For example, “Product Code 123-4568 should have been Product Code 123-4567. This product has not been shipped to the field”.


This field does not apply for Product Code changes and should be indicated as “N/A”.

4. CLEI Request Two Step Process There may be times when all the attributes defined in the GR-485-CORE and detailed on the Common Language CLEI Request Form are not all available when the CLEI Code is initially requested; the requestor may optionally utilized the following two-step process when requesting a CLEI Code. This two-step process will allow a CLEI Code to be created early on in the manufacturing process and be available for labeling, placement in the MIB and use in documentation. The two-step process does not change the requirements detailed in the GR-485-CORE and described in this Job-Aid; it provides an optional method to request a CLEI code that might be more appropriate for the requestor’s operations.


Issue 4, December 2015 Common Language Equipment Identification CLEI™ Code Request Job Aid CLEI Request Two Step Process


When a requestor decides to utilize the two-step process for a CLEI Code, a subset of the GR-485-CORE attributes is initially provided to create the CLEI Code. The CLEI Code is created and returned to the requestor (step one). Once the remaining GR-485-CORE attributes are available and before the equipment becomes generally available, these remaining attributes are provided to update the CLEI Code.

Issue 4, December 2015 Common Language Equipment Identification CLEI™ Code Request Job Aid Acronyms and Definitions


7. Acronyms and Definitions

Term Definition CLEI Code A globally unique, ten-character alphanumeric intelligent code

assigned by iconectiv at the request of equipment suppliers (NEPs). This is required for a consistent standard coding convention that meets the service supplier’s requirements with identifying communications equipment. This includes communications equipment deployed in various network topologies (e.g. Central Office, Outside Plant, Customer Premise Equipment) by specifying product type and engineering features. CLEI Codes are assigned to all types of communications equipment; to name a few, IP Routers, Gateways, Wavelength Division Multiplexing, Passive Optical Networks (PON), SDH/SONET, Radio equipment, etc.

Hardwired Hardwired equipment, including standalone (sealed assembled unit), is equipment which remains in place for the duration of its functional life, and is installed permanently into a frame, relay rack, cabinet or other mounting. Hardwired equipment needs to be tracked by equipment ordering, installation, depreciation, and retirement processes throughout the equipment life cycle for capital investments from asset management perspective.

Parent Card A Plug-in card, which provides cages that can host sub-cards and/or SFF devices such as SFP, XFP, GBIC, XENPAK, etc. A parent card may have none, one, or more than one fixed ports in addition to cages. The combination of parent card, sub-cards, and SFF items allows specific wavelengths, rates, reach factors, and quantity of certain ports to be provided for services.

Pizzabox A term used to refer to a piece of self-contained equipment, such as IP routers, Ethernet switch equipment, etc. Such equipment is sealed by the manufacturer and may have swappable modules or have SFF cages for use to make appropriate connection of transmission paths. Pizzabox equipment is designed for fast field deployment as it is a field replaceable unit (FRU).

Plug-in A Plug-in, including SFF (small form factor) pluggable, is an item of electronic equipment which connects its circuit elements to other equipment, affects the operation of that equipment, and is considered to be replaceable, easily removable, portable, and not mounted to a frame, rack, bay, or other mounting. A Plug-in may mount onto other equipment by sliding into a chassis, or rest on a shelf plate within a rack or frame. Small units that rest on top of cabinets, desks or tables may also be considered as Plug-ins. Typically moving a Plug-in from one location to another does not require the retirement process from the asset management standpoint. Also a Plug-in may be ordered through warehouses for keeping spare inventory.

A Plug-in may connect to other equipment by means of - (i) circuit connectors imprinted on the edge of a circuit board that mate to a


Common Language Equipment Identification CLEI™ Code Request Job Aid Issue 4, December 2015 Acronyms and Definitions


86

Term Definition chassis backplane connector (These connectors sometimes referred to as “fingers” or “lands”); (ii) jacks, plugs, RS-232, or other wired connectors; (iii) eyelets, screw-down, or barrier terminals that accept spade clips or bare wire connections; (iv) spring contact devices or other mechanical connections that can be considered temporary.

Plug-on A Plug-on is an item that mounts onto a Plug-in module. Typically the Plug-on needs to be inserted/mounted prior to the installation of the Plug-in device. Plug-on’s are typically additional chip-sets or memory boards (RAM, etc.) that can be added to a Plug-in and cannot be seen externally when the Plug-in is in service. Pluggable items (SFF devices) are classified as Plug-ins, not Plug-ons.

Reach Factor The distance an optical signal can travel before needing regeneration.

RoHS Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. RoHS defines the restriction on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Sub Card An externally accessible Plug-in card, which goes to another Plug-in card for operations. Sub-cards are externally accessible from the front of the associated parent cards. A sub-card is different than a Plug-on in that a Plug-on is hidden within the main board in operations. Sub-cards are treated as retirement items for the equipment asset tracking and inventory.
