Abstract
The following description is directed to cable-based configuration. In one example, a method can include determining a first end of a cable is connected to a first device and a second end of the cable is connected to a second device. The first device can be configured to perform a first function when it is determined the first end of the cable is connected to the first device. The second device can be configured to perform a second function when it is determined the second end of the cable is connected to the second device. The second function can be different from the first function, such that the first device and the second device are configured differently based on which end of the cable is connected to the respective device.
