Abstract
An embodiment of the invention comprises a testing device selecting at least one power port for testing. The testing device enables at least one power port to output power, where the power may be used by a corresponding remote device that may be present. The testing device may then determine whether a corresponding remote device may be communicatively coupled to it. After the determination, the power port may be disabled from outputting power.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- selecting by a testing device one or more power ports for testing;
- enabling by the testing device at least one of the power ports to output power;
- determining whether a corresponding remote device is communicatively coupled to the testing device;
- and
- disabling the at least one of the power ports from outputting power after the determining.
A system comprising:
- a testing device configurable to select one or more power ports for testing;
- and
- one or more remote devices where at least one of each corresponds to one of the power ports,
- wherein the testing device is configurable to enable at least one of the power ports to output power and to disable output power, and the testing device is configurable to determine whether the corresponding remote device is communicatively coupled to the testing device.
A machine-readable storage having stored thereon a computer program having at least one code section executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:
- selecting one or more power ports for testing;
- enabling at least one of the power ports to output power;
- determining whether a corresponding remote device is communicatively coupled to the testing device;
- and
- disabling the at least one of the power ports from outputting power after the determining.
