What do you see?

The Ports page displays a listing of all the ports associated with your organization, along with vital information for each.  You can sort the data on this page by clicking the column heading on which you want to sort.  An arrow next to the column name indicates the order ( ascending(, top to bottom, Z to A, highest to lowest) or descending(, top to bottom, A to Z, lowest to highest)) of the sort.  

A View By drop-down list on the left side of the page allows you to select the value you want to see in the Name column.  You can choose to see your Ports by Customer ID(The Port's customer-maintained identifier.  You can change this value.) or by Carrier ID(The unique, provider-maintained identifier for each Port.  The system uses this value to identify the Port internally.  You cannot edit this value.).
