The invention relates to logical to physical mapping of wireless network components. According to the invention, a system for evaluating a physical location of a node in a network comprising a multi-axis accelerometer installed in proximity to the node and in a deterministic spacial orientation, and/or a controller configured to receive an acceleration vector associated with the multi-axis accelerometer and to evaluate the orientation of the node based on the received acceleration vector in comparison to a reference acceleration vector known to the controller and a look-up table in memory configured to contain the logical function and a node location identifier for each spatial orientation. The node may comprise a system component.
