Abstract
Some aspects of this disclosure relate to system and methods for discovering a power connection between a power supply device and a network device. An application server transmits a message to a first network device to cause the first network device to consume power according to pattern information and timing information of the message. The application server receives power usage data of network work devices from power supply devices and compares the power usage data with pattern data defined by the pattern information and the timing information, and identifies usage data that matches the pattern data. The application server further identifies a power supply device connecting to the first network device based on the usage data that matches the pattern data.
