Transceiver Operating notes

The following information is displayed for each installed transceiver:
- Port number on which transceiver is installed.
- Type of transceiver.
- Product number — Includes revision letter, such as A, B, or C. If no revision letter follows a product number, this means that no revision is available for the transceiver.
- Part number — Allows you to determine the manufacturer for a specified transceiver and revision number.
