Telecom(munications)
French term or phrase: code plaques
General context is telecommunications software (specifically, software for creating ADSL connections) and the actual sentence is as follows:
"Implémentation des règles de construction des ordres dans IGECA (Zone dense, codes plaque, ….)"
Any ideas? All help much appreciated!

service area code (or identification)
Explanation:
The word "plaque" is often used to designate a service or reticulation area (or the area served by a mobile base station for example). It may well be that in this particular case the "code plaque" serves as an identifier in the software for the area served by a DSLAM (or several DSLAMs). Only a guess I'm afraid.

note: IGECA seems to be Apache (network server) command related

in computers/communications : code = code and plaque = plate (see GDT and other dictionaries)
