: I feel sure this is what it means: they have been 'muddled up' — though that would not be correct technical EN!

perturbé
Port de communication perturbé ou absent
la communication ne se fait pas normalement, il peut y avoir des courants forts à proximité, des champs magnétiques variables (moteurs, bobines), des mauvais contacts etc.

: oui, ça a un sens au moins....Port de communication perturbé ou absent. Perturbé est le seul sens possible ici....100%juste. Je retire ma réponse comme c'est identique...

: 'muddled' wouldn't be a logical mistake for 'jammed' ('brouillé'), nor for 'interfered with'

S'il y avait plusieurs ports de communication à connecteurs identiques (ça fait beaucoup de SI), la déteciton d'une erreur de branchement est d'habitude la même que l'absence de branchement, c'est mon hypothèse face à un terme source douteux

Discussion
I do not believe that 'muddled' could refer to any kind of jamming or interference. I suspect they simply mean that the ports have been 'muddled up' (like « s'emmêler les pinceaux » !) — the wrong ones connected to the wrong ones. The person who plugged them in got them confused... If there were only 2 ports, we might say that had been 'inverted' or 'reversed'; the use of 'muddled' here might suggest there are more than 2 ports, and the writer was at a lost to know how best to express the notion!
Note too that 'muddled' is applied to 'ports' (i.e. a physical connection point) rather than to (e.g.) incoming signals — you can't really 'jam' or 'interfere with' a 'port', only with the signal going into it.
