In one embodiment, a system for providing port occupancy management for a network connected device that includes a plurality of ports comprises: at least one port status input panel that comprises a plurality of manually operable port occupancy status selector switches, wherein each of the selector switches are associated with one or more of the ports; a control circuit coupled to the port status input panel, wherein the control circuit determines a port occupancy status for each of the ports based on signals initiated by the selector switches; a gateway coupled to the control circuit and configured to aggregate port occupancy status data for the network connected device based on the port occupancy status for each of the ports determined by the control circuit. The gateway executes at least one interface configured to provide the port occupancy status data to a remote system.
