1. A transceiver device, comprising:
a chassis;
a transceiver circuit board included in the chassis;
a networking device connector that is included on the transceiver circuit board and that is configured to directly connect to a networking port on a networking device;
a fabric connector that is included on the transceiver circuit board and that is configured to connect to fabric cabling to couple a fabric to the networking device when the networking device connector is directly connected to a networking port on a networking device;
an antenna that is included on the transceiver circuit board; and
a wireless Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device that is included on the transceiver circuit board, that is coupled to the networking device connector and the antenna, and that is configured to:
store first transceiver operating information in at least one first storage element included in the wireless EEPROM device; and
provide, via the antenna in response to a mobile computing device being positioned within a threshold distance of the antenna when the networking device connector is not connected to a networking device, wireless read access to the first transceiver operating information stored in the at least one first storage element in the wireless EEPROM device to the mobile computing device.
