Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising performing the method within a duration of n time units, wherein the method further comprises identifying that the one of the data ports and the one of the power supply ports are connected to the same one of the powered devices when the binary sequence is the same as a permutation and combination of the one of the load adjustment manners indicated by the one of the load adjustment indications from the one of the data ports, wherein a jth-bit binary number in the binary sequence indicates an output power change status of the one of the power supply ports in a jth time unit in the n time units, wherein one binary number in the binary sequence indicates that an output power is unchanged, wherein the other binary number in the binary sequence indicates that the output power is changed, wherein the permutation and combination comprises a binary number 0 and a binary number 1, wherein an ith-bit binary number in the permutation and combination indicates a load adjustment status in an ith time unit in the n time units, wherein one binary number in the permutation and combination indicates to not adjust a load, and wherein the other binary number in the permutation and combination of the binary numbers indicates to adjust the load.
