Abstract
The present disclosure refers to a system for providing a sequence of nodes in a single pair network, like a PoDL network. The nodes of the network are connected in series by a single pair cable comprising two conductors, and the nodes comprise means for providing a short circuit to the two conductors. The system comprises a unit for sending a short circuit signal to a node causing the node to provide the short circuit, a unit for receiving a sequence determination signal from the node providing the short circuit, wherein the signal is indicative of a position of the node, and a unit for determining a sequence of a plurality of nodes based on the signals of the plurality of nodes. Accordingly, the system allows to determine the sequence accurately in an easy manner.
