Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While many specific details are set forth in the following description and in the accompanying drawings, to provide a more general understanding of the invention, these specific details are illustrated for the purpose of illustrating the invention and are not meant to limit the invention thereto. And a detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

Typically, the transmission system is composed of a plurality of transmission equipment, and also the transmission equipment is also composed of a plurality of units, in the present invention by using this hierarchical structure, the user can conveniently search for the location where the alarm occurred. Hereinafter, a part where an alarm occurs is referred to as a node, and a hierarchical representation of the structure of nodes in which the alarm occurs is called an alarm generation node tree.

Referring to FIG. 1, which shows a configuration diagram of a workstation 100 to which a network management system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applicable, the controller 102 controls the workstation 100 as a whole. Of course, the processing program according to the alarm guidance method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The input device 104 is for an interface between the operator and the control unit 102 and a keyboard or a mouse may be employed. The display unit 106 displays various types of information according to the control of the controller 102 and guides the user. The memory unit 108 stores an operating system, various programs, and information of the control unit 102. In particular, the memory unit 108 stores alarm information and various search setting information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The transmitter connection unit 110 connects the workstation and the transmitter, and accordingly, the controller 102 may receive various alarm information from the transmitter.

The operation of the network management system applicable to the workstation will now be described.

First, referring to FIG. 2, which shows a flowchart of a method of processing alarm information provided from a transmission device, in step 200, the controller 102 searches whether the alarm information is provided from the transmission device. At this time, if the alarm information is provided from the transmission device, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 204, otherwise proceeds to step 202 to perform a corresponding operation. In step 204, the control unit 102 searches whether the node where the alarm has occurred has been registered in the alarm generation node tree because the alarm has already occurred before. At this time, the controller 102 proceeds to step 208 if the node where the alarm has occurred is already registered in the alarm generation node tree, otherwise proceeds to step 206. In step 206, the controller 102 registers the node where the alarm has occurred in the alarm generation tree, and then proceeds to step 208. In step 208, the control unit 102 stores the alarm information in the memory unit 108.

Referring to the operation of the control unit 102, the control unit 102 registers the node in which the alarm information occurs in the alarm generation node tree only when the alarm information is provided from the transmission system. In other words, the alarm generation node tree is not fixed in advance according to the structure of the transmission system, but is changed flexibly according to the occurrence of alarm information. As a result, an alarm generation node tree can be generated appropriately for the transmission system even in a transmission system having a different structure.

In this state in which the alarm information is stored, the user can search for an alarm through the alarm manager window, and FIG. 3 shows the alarm management window.

As shown in Fig. 3 and 8, the alarm management window (AM) is largely alarm information is provided as soon as the alarm is provided to the current alarm information window (RA) and the stored alarm information to guide the user in real time (Real Time) immediately. It consists of a history information window (AH).

A method of guiding a user in real time as soon as alarm information is provided through the current alarm guide window will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4. In operation 300, the controller 102 searches whether the current alarm guide window RA is activated as the user commands the activation of the current alarm guide window RA through the input device 104. At this time, if the current alarm guidance window (RA) is activated, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 304, otherwise proceeds to step 302 to perform the operation. In step 304, the control unit 102 searches whether new alarm information is provided from the transmission device. At this time, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 306 when the new alarm information is provided, otherwise proceeds to step 314. In step 306, the control unit 102 searches whether the provided alarm information corresponds to the search condition displayed in the search condition window SC. The search condition window SC displays a search condition setting button for setting a search condition such as a security, a type of an alarm, a node, and a node, which is a condition of an alarm to be displayed. have.

In step 306, the controller 102 proceeds to step 308 if the provided alarm information corresponds to the search condition, and otherwise proceeds to step 314. In step 308, the control unit 102 searches whether the number of alarm information displayed on the alarm information display window AD is a predetermined number. In this case, when the number of alarm information displayed on the alarm information display window AD is a predetermined number, the controller 102 proceeds to step 310 and deletes the oldest alarm information among the alarm information displayed on the alarm information display window (step 312). Proceed to step 312 otherwise. In step 312, the controller 102 displays the provided alarm information on the alarm information display window AD, and then proceeds to step 314.

In step 314, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs a print command through the print button at the bottom of the alarm manager window AM. At this time, if the user does not input a print command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 318 as it is, otherwise proceeds to step 316 and prints the displayed alarm information to step 318. In step 318, the control unit 102 searches whether the user commands the closing of the alarm manager window AM through the close button located at the bottom of the alarm manager window AM. At this time, if the user does not input the close command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 304 again, otherwise proceeds to step 320 and deletes the alarm manager window AM and ends.

Referring to the operation of the control unit 102, when the alarm information is provided in the current alarm information window (RA), the control unit 102 searches whether the alarm information corresponds to a predetermined search condition, and the user determines in advance. When corresponding to the search condition, the alarm information is guided.

A method of setting a search condition of the current alarm guide window RA will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. In step 400, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs a search condition setting command through the search condition setting button in the current alarm guide window RA. At this time, if the user inputs a search condition setting command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 404, otherwise proceeds to step 402 to perform a corresponding operation. In step 404, the control unit 102 displays the search condition setting and alarm generation node tree window ST as shown in FIG. The search condition setting and alarm generation node tree window (ST) is for setting an alarm generation node tree window (AT) for displaying an alarm generation node tree in which nodes which have generated an alarm so far and the security of the alarm to be searched. It consists of security setting window (SS), type setting window (TS) for setting the type of alarm to search, and search time window (TMS) for setting the search time, and setting the search condition in the current alarm information window (RA). In this case, the search time window (TMS) is inactivated to disable the user's operation.

After displaying the search condition setting and the alarm generating node tree window ST, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 406 and the user inputs the search condition through the search condition setting and the alarm generating node tree window ST. Search for At this time, if the user inputs a search condition through the search condition setting and alarm generation node tree window ST, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 408, otherwise proceeds to step 410. In step 408, the controller 102 stores the search condition input by the user, and then proceeds to step 410. In step 410, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs an application command through the application button located at the bottom of the search condition setting and alarm generation node tree window ST. At this time, the control unit 102 is configured to apply the stored search condition to the current alarm guidance when the user enters the application command, and the set search condition to the search condition window (RA) of the current alarm guide window (RA) of the alarm manager window (AM) SC), and proceeds to step 414. In step 414, the control unit 102 activates the alarm manager window AM after deleting the search condition setting and deleting the alarm generation node tree window ST.

If the application command is input in step 410, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 416 and the user cancels the command through the cancel button located at the bottom of the search condition setting and alarm generation node tree window ST. Search for input. At this time, if the user inputs a cancel button, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 418, otherwise proceeds to step 406. In step 418, the controller 102 deletes the stored search condition, and then proceeds to step 414 to set the search condition and delete the alarm generating node tree window ST, and then activates the alarm manager window AM. do.

Various search conditions can be set through the search condition setting and the alarm generation node tree window ST as described above, and the user can hierarchically search the position of the node where the alarm has occurred.

A method of guiding the stored alarm information through the alarm history window AH of the alarm manager window AM will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7. In operation 500, the controller 102 searches whether the alarm history guide window AH is activated as the user commands the activation of the alarm history guide window AH through the input device 104. At this time, if the alarm history information window (AH) is activated, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 504, otherwise proceeds to step 502 to perform the operation. In step 504, the controller 102 searches for alarm information corresponding to a search condition of the search condition window SC among the stored alarm information, and then proceeds to step 506. The search condition window SC of the alarm history information window AH further includes a search start time and a search end time as shown in FIG. 8. In step 506, the controller 102 displays all alarm information corresponding to the search condition among the stored alarm information in the alarm information window AD, and then proceeds to step 508. In step 508, the control unit 102 searches whether the user commands printing through the print button located at the bottom of the alarm manager window AM. At this time, if the user commands printing, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 510 and prints the displayed alarm information, and then proceeds to step 512, otherwise proceeds to step 512. In step 512, the controller 102 searches whether the user inputs a close command through the close button. At this time, if the control unit 102 inputs a close command, the controller 102 proceeds to step 514 to delete the alarm manager window AM.

Thus, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user can search only the alarm information of the desired condition among the stored alarm information.

A method of inputting a search condition desired by the user among the alarm information stored in this way will be described with reference to FIG. 9. In step 600, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs a search condition setting command through the search condition setting button in the alarm history guide window AH. At this time, if the user inputs a search condition setting command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 604, otherwise proceeds to step 602 to perform a corresponding operation. In step 604, the controller 102 displays the search condition setting and the alarm generation node tree window, and then proceeds to step 606. FIG. At this time, the search condition setting in the alarm history information window AH and the time setting button are activated in the alarm generation node tree window ST. In step 606, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs a time setting command through the time setting button. At this time, if the user inputs a time setting command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 608, otherwise proceeds to step 622. In step 608, the control unit 102 displays the calendar window C as shown in FIG. The calendar window (C) is a window (C2) having a window (C1) for selecting the month, day, a button for selecting the search time and search end time, and a window for inputting hours, minutes, seconds ( C3).

After displaying the calendar window C, the controller 102 searches whether the user inputs a search time consisting of a search start time and a search end time through the windows C1, C2, and C3 of the calendar window C. . In this case, when the user inputs a search time, the controller 102 proceeds to step 612 and stores the input time information, and then proceeds to step 614. In step 614, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs an application command through an application button located at the bottom of the calendar window C. In this case, when the user inputs an application command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 634 to apply the stored search time to the alarm history guide, and sets the set alarm time window AH and the search condition. The alarm occurrence node is displayed on the tree window (ST). If the user does not input the application command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 616 and searches whether the user inputs the cancellation command through the cancel button. At this time, if the user inputs a cancel command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 618 and deletes the stored search time and then proceeds to step 620. The controller 102 sets a search time according to an application command or deletes the search time stored according to a cancel command, and then proceeds to step 620 to delete the calendar window C, and then sets a search condition and generates an alarm. After activating the node tree window ST, the flow proceeds to step 622.

In step 622, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs a search condition. In this case, when the user inputs a search condition, the controller 102 proceeds to step 624 and stores the entered search condition and then proceeds to step 626. In step 626, the control unit 102 searches whether the user inputs an application command through the application button. In this case, if the user does not input the application command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 628 and searches whether the user inputs the cancellation command through the cancel button. In this case, when the user inputs a cancel command, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 630 and deletes the stored search condition and search time and then proceeds to step 632.

When the user inputs an application command in step 626, the control unit 102 proceeds to step 636 to set the stored search condition to apply the alarm history guidance, and sets the set search condition in the alarm history guide window AH. After that, the process proceeds to step 632. In step 632, the control unit 102 terminates after setting the search condition and deleting the alarm generation node tree window ST and activating the alarm manager window AM.

As described above, the present invention configures a node in which an alarm occurs in a tree in a hierarchical form to easily track an alarm location where an alarm occurs in a network management system, so that a user does not know the entire structure of an optical transmission system. Even if the alarm position can be pinpointed.

In addition, the present invention enables the user to search the alarm information conveniently because the user can search the alarm information according to the user's desired search conditions.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage of easily tracking an alarm position in a network management system.
