Telcordia "Common Language Standards" abbreviations for switch equipment types as used in various industry documents, mostly LEC and Telcordia documentation...

The DM[x] range of Telcordia Common Language standards abbreviations is typically for something in the Nortel DMS family of switches.


Of course, not all telcos entering their data into the Telcordia CLONES database or Telcordia-TRA database really enter the most precise abbreviations for equipment type. Thus you will find widely variances in preciseness/etc.

NOTE that the three character "switch equipment type abbreviations" that I have referred to above are NOT the same as the final three characters of a Switch-CLLI code!
