1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a mobile device, an input of a code associated with an electronic component;
determining, by the mobile device, whether the electronic component is a component of a network, based on comparing the code against inventory data associated with the network;
assigning the electronic component to the network, in response to determining that the electronic component is not a network component of the network; and
receiving a notification regarding operating conditions of the electronic component with respect to the network.

Abstract
A system for streamlining a network management system (NMS) includes scanning, via a mobile device, a code on a hardware or software component; and determining, via the mobile device, whether the hardware or software component is a network component (NC), based on the scanned code. The hardware or software component may be a call manager, server, client device, interface card, repeater, hub, bridge, switch, router, or firewall, for example.
