Part Number And Change Status Identification; Table 6. Example Of Anv Part Number + Ics' Evolution - Alcatel 1850 TSS-320 Technical Handbook

6.1 Part Number and Change Status identification

Each unit or sub–unit is distinguished by:
• a Part Number: ANV–P/N (xxx.xxxxx xxyy)
The last two ANV–P/N letters (yy, in the following stated as 'suffix') stand for a "feasible
alternative", they might differentiate two units eventhough still functionally compatible.
For example: the units having P/Ns "3AL-34065-AAAA" and "3AL-34065-AABA" are
functionally compatible and, as regards to hardware settings, the hardware setting paragraph
(described hereafter) is applicable for both.
• and by a design & production series (change status):ICS
• The following table shows an example of evolution of "ANV P/N + ICS"

Table 6. Example of ANV Part Number + ICS' evolution!

N.B. The P/Ns used in this example have no correspondence with those of the actual equipment part
list
In this example you can see that the production series is identified by the 'suffix + ICS' in the
ANV code.
Some of the possible positions of the label indicating the unit's P/Ns and ICS are illustrated in
para. Appendix B on page 241.
As the Customer may have to manage many units of the same type (same Part Number) but with different
ICS, each hardware setting paragraph describes with possible different parts the different setting options,
according to all the possible P/N+ICSs. For this purpose, when more than one setting versions are
present, a table at the beginning of the paragraph can indicate the part to be used according to the
corresponding 'suffix + ICS', taking into account that:
– a change of the production series does not necessarily imply a change in the setting
options;
a change of the ANV P/N suffix does not imply an handbook change
– the SUFFIX and ICS must be meant as:
• from specified SUFFIX or ICS (included)
• to next SUFFIX or ICS (excluded) if listed
