That is very typical of telecom equipment: All major subsystems (often == each PCB) has some sort of memory chip with serial number, type, revision level, ECOs etc etc. Some of them even update a counter with power-on-hours on each card and append the shelf serial number to a history list to give a history for the board. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
