SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATION IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A telecommunications outlet providing location identification in a local area network, the telecommunications outlet comprising:
- a network side connection adapted to be connected to a networking device via horizontal cabling;
a data terminal side connection adapted to be connected to a data terminal equipment;
a control circuitry;
a memory adapted for storage of multi-bit data;
a transmitter in communication with said memory; and
a first switch responsive to said control circuitry, said first switch arranged in a first mode to connect data from said network side connection to said data terminal side connection and in a second mode to connect data from said transmitter to said network side connection and disconnect data from said network side connection to said data terminal side connection.
