MTS can help you more efficiently if you have the following
information available when you contact us for support.
The site number contains your company number and identifies your
equipment type (material testing, simulation, and so forth). The
number is usually written on a label on your MTS equipment before
the system leaves MTS. If you do not have or do not know your MTS
site number, contact your MTS sales engineer.
Example site number: 571167
When you have more than one MTS system, the system job number
