A data module reads a data packet associated with a peripheral device over each of the one or more communication bus cables. Each data packet includes an identifier for a location where the peripheral device is installed. A topology module determines a cable connection configuration for the one or more communication bus cables and the one or more peripheral devices based on the installation location identifier received from each of the data packets associated with the one or more peripheral devices.
