- the server device may compare the received identification information and port information with pre-stored reference port information to determine whether or not the connector is mis-coupled. If misconnection is determined, the server device may transmit port information corresponding to the connector to the distribution device. This allows the dispensing device to be guided to insert the connector in the normal insertion position.
- connection accuracy can be greatly improved while significantly reducing the time spent on site by service personnel inspecting and managing the actual dispensing device.
- the above-described embodiments may be implemented in the form of a computer-readable recording medium storing instructions and data executable by a computer. At least one of the instructions and data may be stored in the form of a program code, and when executed by a processor, a predetermined program module may be generated to perform a predetermined operation.
- the step of reading a tag attached to each connector connected to a plurality of ports and detecting the identification information recorded on the tag the step of transmitting the detected identification information to the server device, and the port information of the port to which the connector is connected.
- the program code for sequentially performing the step of transmitting to the server device may be distributed in a state stored in a computer readable recording medium and loaded on a distribution device.
- receiving identification information from the distribution device may be distributed in a state stored in a computer-readable recording medium and loaded into a server device.
- Such computer-readable recording media include read-only memory (ROM), random-access memory (RAM), flash memory, CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD+Rs, CD-RWs, CD+RWs, DVD- ROMs, DVD-Rs, DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+RWs, DVD-RAMs, BD-ROMs, BD-Rs, BD-R LTHs, BD-REs, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, magneto-optical data storage devices , optical data storage devices, hard disks, solid-state disks (SSDs), and the like.
- instructions or software, related data, data files, and data structures may be stored, and instructions or software, related data, data files, and data structures may be provided to a processor or computer so that the processor or computer may execute the instructions.
