2 Standards

The information presented in this chapter is based on the deliberations and decisions

made by the S-POCCB (Station – Portable Onboard Computer Control Board).

Standards chosen for naming and identifying OPS LAN components are subject to

change.

2.1 Timekeeping Standard

OPS LAN timekeeping devices will be set to and adjusted for GMT (Greenwich Mean

Time) without adjustments for daylight savings. Microsoft Windows refers to this time

zone as GMT Monrovia/Casablanca.

2.2 Device Naming Convention

To facilitate management of the OPS LAN, logical identification schemes have been

adopted. This section delineates naming conventions, based on the NetBIOS protocol,

for the various network devices. All names are case-insensitive. Although presented in

upper-case in this document, names entered on the OPS LAN may be typed with either

upper-case or lower-case letters.

2.2.1 Windows NT Domain

When logging into the OPS LAN, the name of the Windows NT Domain is: opslan.

This entry is not case-sensitive.

2.2.2 Devices

The following NetBIOS naming criteria are implemented:

Device Type NetBIOS Name

Clients – SSC#

MEC#

OCAs – OCA#

File Server – FSERVER

(# assigned by S-POCCB)

Remaining network devices, such as printers, access points and IMS handheld bar

code readers, are not assigned NetBIOS names.
