I'll use your reply as a template:
Device naming convention:
<2 letters of the state/province abbreviation>

<unless there is only one POP in the city, then this field is blank>
<1 letter describing device type>
a = RAS Server/Access device (including remote console devices)
s = Switch
r = Router
<2 letter device abbreviation>
12 = Cisco 12000 Series
75 = Cisco 7500 Series
50 = Cisco Catalyst 5000 Series
65 = Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series
p3 = Lucent PM3

etc..

Examples:
