Communication system, communication method, server equipment, and communication equipment

摘要

A communication equipment notifies a server equipment of a communication port to which a communication cable is connected. If another communication port as a connection partner of the notified communication port is not yet connected to the communication cable, the server equipment transmits a first notification instruction to another communication equipment having the said another communication port. The said another communication equipment indicates, in a viewable manner, a communication port corresponding to the first notification instruction as a communication port to which the communication cable is required to be connected.
