Abstract
A method of identifying the disposition of portable modular plug-in units (11) of telecommunications equipment. A bar code (15) is first placed on each plug-in unit (11). A scanner (21) or a personal computer (25) is then programmed to identify which plug-in units (11) are to be scrapped, which are to be modified, which are to be tested, and which require no action. Each bar code (15) is scanned with a scanning wand (17) and then the scanner (21) or computer (25) is read to determine what action to take regarding each plug-in unit (11).
