We are in the process of doing a massive physical inventory that spans the entire US and parts of Canada. We are utilizing a barcode reader to capture the serial numbers of the equipment.
We need to be able to determine the model of the monitor based solely on the serial number. Given that there are thousands of monitors, entering each serial number in to a web search is not an option.
It is my understanding that certain characters within the serial number are supposed to provide the part number of the monitor. That's great. However, searching for each part number via a web search is not an option either. And, I can never get a match on Dell's site anyway. I get better results simply searching Google!
Is there a table that can be utilized for this purpose? This shouldn't be proprietary information.
TIA,
