SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REGISTERING AND MAINTAINING FIELD EQUIPMENT INVENTORY BASED ON INDIVIDUALIZED EQUIPMENT AND LOCATION INFORMATION

摘要

A system and method for registering and tracking network equipments at the circuit card level. A computer network server is coupled with an equipment database (114) that contains location for telecommunication network assets. A hand-held client (102) comprising a display (106), keyboard (104), bar code scanner (105) and printer (107) is coupled, via a radio link, to the computer network server (118). The hand-held client is used to register network assets and to query the equipment database for information relating to network assets. Users visit remote sites and register network assets in real-time, while walking through the equipment bays.
