Abstract
A networked device connection system includes a network management system, a first networked device including a first networked device connector, and a second networked device including a second networked device connector. The first networked device connects to a network connection member through the first networked device connector and, in response, retrieves a network connection member identifier that it provides, along with a first networked device connector identifier, to the network management system. The network management system uses the network connection member identifier and the first networked device connector identifier to determine that the network connection member should be connected to the second networked device connector and, in response, sends an instruction to the second networked device that activates a second networked device connector indicator that is associated with the second networked device connector prior to connection of the network connection member to the second networked device connector.
