Re: Interesting problem - Identifying ports and cables

If the dish is aimed you need 3 trials at the most for the first cable , 2 trials at the most for the second cable and the last is what is left.

If the dish is not aimed you need to hook only one cable at a time at the dish side, and check for signal at the other end on each cable, until identifing and marking all 3 at both ends.
