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
