Abstract
A line diagnosis method includes, in a situation that a first interface of a first device is connected to a second interface of a second device, obtaining first interface information of the first interface and second interface information of the second interface, and diagnosing a line connection between the first device and the second device based on the first interface information and the second interface information.
Claims14
A line diagnosis method comprising:
- in a situation that a first interface of a first device is connected to a second interface of a second device, obtaining first interface information of the first interface and second interface information of the second interface, at least one of the first interface information or the second interface information being transmitted over a bus, each of the first interface information and the second interface information including interface number information or serial number information of each contact corresponding to a respective interface of the first interface and the second interface, wherein the obtaining the first interface information and the second interface information comprises transmitting an instruction through a controller coupled to the bus and receiving, at the controller via the bus, at least one of the first interface information or the second interface information;
- and
- diagnosing a line connection between the first device and the second device based on a comparison of the first interface information and the second interface information to preset line layout information.
A line diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a first device connected to a first interface and configured to:
- determine first interface information of the first interface, the first interface being configured to be connected to a second interface of a second device, the first interface information including interface number information or serial number information of each contact corresponding to the first interface;
- in a situation that the first interface is connected to the second interface, obtain, via a data bus, second interface information of the second interface determined by the second device, the second interface information including interface number information or serial number information of each contact corresponding to the second interface;
- and
- diagnose a line connection between the first device and the second device based on a comparison of the first interface information and the second interface information to preset line layout information,
- wherein the first device includes a processing circuit connected to the first interface and an information acquisition circuit, the information acquisition circuit includes the data bus and a management controller connected to the data bus, the data bus is connected to the processing circuit or the second device, and the management controller is configured to send an instruction to the processing circuit and the second device through the data bus, to instruct the processing circuit and the second device to obtain the first interface information and the second interface information, respectively.
