Abstract: A patch panel device has communication ports respectively associated with a unique binary number having a number of binary digits, and a plurality of computing devices are each respectively coupled to at least one of the ports. A connectivity test includes configuring the patch panel device to send a message to a first sending device in response to receiving data at a port associated with a binary number having a first value as the respective binary digit, and not to send a message to a second sending device in response to receiving data at a port associated with a binary number having a second value as the respective binary digit. Each of the computing devices is caused to transmit data for arrival at a corresponding port, an indication is received for each device regarding whether the device received a message. A connectivity map is generated.

Abstract translation: 接线板设备具有分别与具有多个二进制数字的唯一二进制数相关联的通信端口，并且多个计算设备各自分别耦合到至少一个端口。 连接测试包括配置接线板设备以响应于在与具有第一值的二进制数相关联的端口处接收数据作为相应的二进制数字而向第一发送设备发送消息，并且不向第二发送设备发送消息 响应于在与具有第二值的二进制数相关联的端口处接收数据作为相应的二进制数字的响应。 导致每个计算设备发送用于到达相应端口的数据，对于每个设备接收关于设备是否接收到消息的指示。 生成连接图。
