Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for enabling use of a pluggable module in a host system, regardless of the type of pluggable module used in view of the module ports of the host system, which is realized using an adaptation device. The disclosure also relates to corresponding devices; adaptation devices and host systems. The methods comprise inserting a pluggable module in a module port of a host system, obtaining information indicating an electrical interface of pluggable module and setting a mode of operation of the adaptation device for re-routing and adapting signals to/from the pluggable module towards one or more controlling entities of the host system based on the electrical interface of the pluggable module.
