Panels / Doors
| Location/Type | First | Example | Expansion |
| Main Point of Entry | MPOE-(Floor.Panel Number) | MPO-FL1-01 | N/A - Only 1 MPOE per side |
| Intermediate Distribution Frame | IDF-(Floor)-(Panel Number) | IDF-1-1 | IDF-1-1a, IDF-1-1b |
| Access Control Panels | Access-(Floor)-(Panel Number) | Access-1-1, Access 1-2 | |
Notes:
MPOE - This is where the internet comes into the building. In residential buildings, it is commonly seen as a utility closed hidden under stairs or basements. In large commercial buildings, it's widely a Riser [cables that link IDFs in other floors or wings are called risers].
IDF - This is where your switching or server equipment goes to support per floor. This commonly hosts switches that connect back to the MPOE
Controllers:
| Location/Type | First | Example | Expansion |
| Door Access Hub | DR-(floor)-(door number) | DR-1-7 | DR-1-7a |
| Door Intercom | IntCom-(floor)-(door) | IntCom-1-1 | IntCom |
| Door |
Network Devices:
| Location/Type | First | Example | Expansion |
| Firewall/Router | (site)-FW## | 925-FW01 | 925-FW02 |
| Switches | (site)-SW## | 925-SW01 | 925-SW02 |
| Cameras | |||
Notes:
Cameras have special nnaming schemes. We define them as internal or external to quickly identify access. Tenants and Employees typically can access external cameras, but internal camera access is heavily policed. A camera overlooking a driveway would be called "EXTERNAL-Driveway-North"
