Abstract:
1. An adapter channel mapping system for mapping channels of a network, comprising: a memory component operable to communicate with the network and having a first memory portion and a second memory portion, the first memory portion operable to communicate with a first physical channel of the network corresponding to at least a first cabling wire and the second memory portion operable to communicate with a second physical channel of the network corresponding to at least a second cabling wire; a mapping component operable to map each one of the first and second memory portions to one of the first and second physical channels based on a first configuration of the network and further operable to map each one of the first and second memory portions to one of the first and second physical channels based on a second configuration of the network; and a selector component in communication with the mapping component and operable in a first selection mode to cause the mapping component to map based on the first map and operable in a second selection mode to map based on the second map, wherein the selector component is further defined as a user interface operable for a user to select one of the first and second modes associated with one of the first and second network configurations, the user interface coupled to communicate the selection to the mapping component.
