1. A method comprising:
- providing a computer system including a first connection and a second connection, one of the connections being a wireless connection;
providing a testing system for testing hardware and software configurations in the computer system, the testing system having a first connection and a second connection;
setting a first switching device coupled to the respective first connections to cause a first one of a first plurality of devices to be coupled to a computer system;
setting a second switching device coupled to the respective second connections to cause a first one of a second plurality of devices to be coupled to the computer system;
coupling a control module to the first and second switching devices, to an additional switching device and to a third plurality of devices;
booting the computer system;
detecting the first one of the first plurality of devices using the computer system; and
detecting the first one of the second plurality of devices using the computer system.

9. A system comprising:
-
a computer system that includes a first connection and a second connection, one of the connections being a wireless connection;
a testing system for testing hardware and software configurations in the computer system, the testing system having a first connection and a second connection;
a coupling interconnecting the respective first and second connections of the computer system and the testing system;
a first switching device coupled to the respective first connections;
a first plurality of devices coupled to the first switching device;
a second switching device coupled to the respective second connections;
a second plurality of devices coupled to the second switching device;
the first switching device being able to be set to cause a first one of the first plurality of devices to be coupled to the computer system;
the second switching device being able to be set to cause a first one of the second plurality of devices to be coupled to the computer system;
a control module coupled to the first and second switching devices, to an additional switching device and to a third plurality of devices; and
the computer system configured to detect the first one of the first plurality of devices and the first one of the second plurality of devices in response to a) the first switching device being set to cause the first one of the first plurality of devices to be coupled to the computer system and b) the second switching device being set to cause the first one of the second plurality of devices to be coupled to the computer system, and in response to being booted. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
