Abstract

Systems and methods for cabling verification may include one or more operations including, but not limited to: receiving floor plan data representing a floor plan of a premises; receiving at least one user input specifying a location of at least one cabling endpoint relative to the floor plan; receiving at least one user input selecting at least one cabling verification test for the at least one cabling endpoint; receiving one or more cabling verification test results for the at least one cabling endpoint obtained by at least one testing device; and updating at least one database element associated with the at least one cabling endpoint and maintained by the cloud-based server.

Claims (35)

1. A system for cabling verification comprising:

at least one testing device operably couplable to a first port;

a second testing device operably couplable to a second port;

one or more instructions implemented in the at least one testing device configuring the testing device for:

performing at least one cabling verification test for a cable connecting the first port and the second port, the performing at least one cabling verification test for a cable connecting the first port and the second port including creating a time stamp associated with the at least one cable verification test;

a mobile device operably couplable to the at least one testing device;

one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device configuring the mobile device for:

wirelessly transmitting one or more cabling verification test control signals to the at least one testing device;

wirelessly receiving one or more cabling verification test results obtained by the at least one testing device; and

transmitting cabling test results obtained by the at least one testing device to at least one cloud-based server device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device operably couplable to the at least one testing device includes:

a mobile device wirelessly couplable to the at least one testing device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device further configuring the mobile device for:

receiving data indicative of at least one cabling test specified for the first port from a cloud-based server device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device further configure the mobile device for:

displaying at least one indicator indicative of the one or more cabling verification test results obtained by the at least one testing device.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the displaying at least one indicator indicative of the one or more cabling verification test results obtained by the at least one testing device includes:

displaying at least a portion of a wiring schematic associated with a detected test failure.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device further configuring the mobile device for:

receiving at least one text-based user input corresponding to the at least one cabling verification test; and

transmitting the at least one text-based user input corresponding to the at least one cabling verification test to at least one cloud-based server device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device further configuring the mobile device for:

capturing at least one image corresponding to the at least one cabling verification test; and

transmitting the at least one image corresponding to the at least one cabling verification test to at least one cloud-based server device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more instructions implemented in the at least one testing device configuring the testing device for:

receiving a globally unique identifier associated with the second testing device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein one or more instructions implemented in the at least one testing device configuring the testing device for:

receiving a globally unique identifier associated with the second testing device via a voltage modulated serial communication.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein one or more instructions implemented in the at least one testing device configuring the testing device for:

performing at least one cabling verification test for a second cable simultaneously as performing at least one cabling verification test for the cable connecting the first port and the second port.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one testing device and the second testing device include multiple ports configured to couple with ports associated with the second cable.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device configuring the mobile device for:

determining a location associated with the at least one cabling verification test and correlating the location to the cabling verification test results.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein one or more instructions implemented in the mobile device configuring the mobile device for:

determining a location associated with the at least one cabling verification test and correlating the location to the cabling verification test results via real time location services.
