PORT MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A port monitoring system, comprising:
- a networking device that includes a device port, wherein the networking device is configured to capture port indicator data that is associated with the operation of the device port, timestamp the port indicator data, and wirelessly transmit the port indicator data; and
a monitoring device that includes a display, wherein the monitoring device is configured to wirelessly receive the port indicator data from the networking device, determine that the timestamp on the port indicator data satisfies a timing requirement for displaying a port indication and, in response, provide a graphical user interface on the display that includes a graphical port indicator that operates according to the port indicator data.

Abstract
A port monitoring system includes a networking device that includes a device port and a monitoring device that includes a display. The networking device captures port indicator data that is associated with the operation of the device port, timestamps the port indicator data, and wirelessly transmits the port indicator data to the monitoring device. The monitoring device wirelessly receives the port indicator data from the networking device and determines whether the timestamp on the port indicator data satisfies a timing requirement for displaying a port indication. If the timestamp satisfies the timing requirement, the monitoring device provides a graphical user interface on the display that includes a graphical port indicator that operates according to the port indicator data. As such, real-time isochronous port indicator data may be wirelessly transmitted and displayed graphically on a monitoring device that allows a user to easily monitor port indicators on networking devices.
