Generic naming convention

The following is the generic naming convention that the Optical Transport Manager uses for object classes:

<PREFIX>-<TID>/<bay>-<shelf>-<slot>[-sub-slot]/[port num/]
<Port Type>-<Port Direction>[-<channel>][-BandName][-AD|-PT]

Object class naming convention parts lists the parts of the naming convention and what they identify.

Table 1. Object class naming convention parts
Name part	Description
PREFIX	Internal code for the class.

TID	Terminal identifier
Bay	Bay location of Optical NetworkElement
Shelf	Shelf number
Slot	Slot number used for Card.
Sub-slot	Sub-slot number for sub-card. This is optional.
Port Num	Port Number on a given card. This is optional.
Port Type	Type of port; for example, OMS/OCH/OCN. GUID-B48A65A4-6A68-4BCD-88B8-5B01B775E6F3.html#GUID-B48A65A4-6A68-4BCD-88B8-5B01B775E6F3___OTM_APPX_NAMING_CONVENTIONS_58736 provides more information.
Port Direction	“In” or “Out”. GUID-B48A65A4-6A68-4BCD-88B8-5B01B775E6F3.html#GUID-B48A65A4-6A68-4BCD-88B8-5B01B775E6F3___OTM_APPX_NAMING_CONVENTIONS_58736 provides more information.
Channel	Channel number. This is optional. GUID-B48A65A4-6A68-4BCD-88B8-5B01B775E6F3.html#GUID-B48A65A4-6A68-4BCD-88B8-5B01B775E6F3___OTM_APPX_NAMING_CONVENTIONS_58736 provides more information.
Band Name	Band name if exists. This is optional.
AD	Add Drop. This is optional.
PT	Pass Through. This is optional.

Some fields, even those not indicated as optional, may not be valid for every object type. For example,

An OpticalNetworkElement object has only a TID field.
A Card object has the following fields:
```
<PREFIX>-TID/<bay>-<shelf>-<slot>
```
The following object classes use specialized naming conventions:
Facility:
```
<PREFIX>-<VendorSpecificString> 
```
FiberLink, BBFiberLink, OchLink, OcnLink, and OmsLink:
```
<PREFIX>-<A-End Link>--><Z-End Link>
```
PTP:
```
<PREFIX>-<TID>/<rack>-shelf>-<slot>-<sub slot>/<port num>
```
