Abstract
This disclosure provides a system and method for managing inventory of and space assignment in main distributing frames associated with a telephone network. The system includes a database that stores frame information and a server that uses the database and executes instructions contained in a computer program to maintain current inventory of the frames, including the equipment terminated on the frames and their allocated space. The server assigns the space for terminating new equipment on the frames and allocates the space to balance the load condition on the frames.
