The following table documents the standard network and telecommunications technology symbols utilized at Missouri State University by the Networking and Telecommunications (N&T) department.  While most architects have their own set of symbols, these symbols are to be used on all technology plans produced for Missouri State University.  If any questions arise regarding the meaning or use of these symbols or if additional symbols are needed for a project, please contact Steven Coffman.
