Other methods, including automated, may also be used. TCF/PTFs with numerous circuits of the same configuration (e.g., DSN IST's) may use one CLR that depicts the common configuration as long as specific cross-connect, conditioning equipment, and other pertinent information is maintained for each individual circuit.

4.2.1. Description
4.2.1.1. The CSIR is a collection of records associated with the installation of a communications and information system in a facility, building or location. The CSIR is comprised of three parts; (1) an administrative record, (2) drawing record, and (3) maintenance record. These records provide both a historical record of communications system and equipment installation and a living document that reflects how the system/equipment is modified over time. It is used for planning, programming, and supporting communications systems/equipment operations, maintenance, integration, and Engineering and Installation (EI) efforts. The record documents the locations and physical configuration of communications systems/ equipment in a facility, building or location.
