son / del

English translation: components are either a suspension or disconnection information for that component

Spanish term or phrase: son / del
La información del suscriptor no debe ir cuando el componente Línea Normal, Piloto (PBX) y Teléfono Público son suspension ó información de retiro del componente.

My question is how to translate son and del here...would "contain" be an option for "son"?

Subscriber information should not be entered when the Normal Line, Pilot (PBX) and Public Telephone components *contain* suspension or disconnection information *of the* component.

Thanks in advance

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: Good solution, but I'm leery of the way the terms are conjoined. Either leave out "a," or how about "a suspension or a disconnect signal"?
