AVX-10K Serialization
The AVX-10K is supported with three serial tags, this information is to explain the use for each.
First, if you purchased one of the pre-configured kits,
AVX-10K-NAV, AVX-10K-SVLC or AVX-10K-CNS you will
notice a serial tag on the transit case. This serial tag is
the composite level serial tag for the entire kit
associated with the configuration purchased.
On the side of the AVX-10K unit, you will
notice a serial tag that supports the base top
half of the unit. This serial tag is the parent
serial number that StrataSync™ recognizes
when registering your unit. As a point of
reference, should the base unit (upper half)
need to be repaired and it is determined to
replace the entire base unit the s/n will
change, and show up as a new asset when
sync’d with StrataSync™.
Finally, on the back of the unit you will see a serial tag
and UID label which is the controlling serial number for
the handheld unit and should be used when
requesting an RMA for service.
VIAVI recommends tracking the kit serial number and
the controlling serial number on the back of the unit for
your reference.
