Abstract
In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method, which may include sending, by a user equipment, a first predetermined test pattern to a first accessory including a first connector, when the first accessory is in a first mode of operation; determining, by the user equipment, a configuration of the first accessory in the first mode by at least measuring a first time for the first predetermined test pattern to return from the first connector and a data loop at the first accessory; sending, by the user equipment, a second predetermined test pattern via at least the first connector; and determining, by the user equipment, a presence of a data loop extension, by at least measuring a second time for the second predetermined test pattern to return from the first connector and at least one of the data loop at the first accessory or the data loop extension.
