List of terms
customer identifier (CID)
The customer identifier is used in customer network management (CNM) to limit the user’s access to components that belong to the same customer identifier. A CNM operator can send commands only to components provisioned with the same CID as the operator. A CNM operator receives only data collection system (DCS) data, such as alarms, that is generated by components provisioned with the same CID as that of the operator. The special CID of 0 is reserved for the network owner, known as the network manager (Netman). A CID of zero is required to provision the overall network.
