To read the hexadecimal port diagrams, they must be converted into binary notation. Each hexadecimal value represents four binary values. Each hexadecimal value is converted into a group of four binary values that represent four ports as follows:

Hex value = Binary value

0 = 0000

1 = 0001

2 = 0010

3 = 0011

4 = 0100

5 = 0101

6 = 0110

7 = 0111

8 = 1000

9 = 1001

A = 1010

B = 1011

C = 1100

D = 1101

E = 1110

F = 1111
