Legal module and port names follow the conventions illustrated by these examples:
1A5-3 indicates shelf 1, slot 5, port 3.

The ICS interface allows aliases for modules. Aliases follow the conventions shown
in these examples. For example, assuming a 19 inch chassis, these aliases apply:
CLK-A = Clock A, 1A1
CLK-B = Clock B, 1A12
2BUF-A = Shelf 2, Buffer A, 2A15
2BUF-B = Shelf 2, Buffer B, 2A16
3BUF-A = Shelf 3, Buffer A, 3A15
