ABSTRACT:
A plurality of access ports in a serial communication network are bracketed by a pair of adapters each of which is connected to a programmed processor. The adapters have unique identities and take part in a polling sequence with any active connected devices each of which have unique network identities. The processor maintains active port status information and correlates the identities of the devices received between the identities of the adapters in a polling sequence to the active port status information which indicates the specific port to which each active device is attached.
