Description

Automatic line numbering recognition method using active patch panels and integrated distribution network systems equipped with them

The present invention relates to an active patch panel, an integrated wiring board network system having the same, and an automatic line recognition method using the active patch panel.

In general, network devices such as hubs, switches, routers, patch panels, 110 blocks, terminal blocks, IP CAMERAs, NVRs, and the like, are electrically connected to each other via a LAN cable. In other words, a local area network (LAN) connects a large number of personal computers, workstations, printers and file servers within a modern office.

The LAN system consists of physically connecting all these devices with copper conductor flexible pair LAN cables. In general, 8-wire cables consisting of four twisted pairs are the most widely used. Some LAN cables include a thin film of flexible foil that acts as an electrostatic shield.

Each end of the cable is connected in a connector according to industry standards. In general, LAN cables are installed through walls, floors, ceilings of buildings, and the like. LAN cable systems also require ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting, as LAN cables and connectors are prone to breakage and also require the movement of offices and equipment, and new equipment is added.

In order to build a LAN system in a building, a LAN cable and network equipment necessary for communication should be provided. Each network device is connected to the LAN cable.

When the LAN cable installation and connection work is completed, the technicians check whether the cable is properly installed and connected, and then install the network device. In other words, technicians check the LAN cable checker (lan cable checker) at both ends of the cable to check whether the LAN cable is operating normally.

Next, when the LAN cable is confirmed, each network device is connected to the LAN cable as previously designed to set parameters of the equipment, and then the overall network operation is checked. Only after all these construction stages can the entire LAN system operate normally.

Since a plurality of LAN cables are connected to the network device as described above, it takes a lot of time to identify the above-mentioned LAN cable lines, line numbers, disconnections, and short circuits during the initial installation or maintenance of the network device and subscriber side communication equipment. It is becoming.

In addition, even after the installation is completed, there are cases in which communication is not performed properly or abnormal operation occurs. In this case, two communication workers must connect LAN cable checkers to both ends of the LAN cable to check whether there is a problem with the LAN cable. However, if the distance between the communication workers are a lot apart, there is an inconvenience to use a separate communication equipment for communication to confirm the abnormality of the cable.

In addition, one communication worker in the terminal and one person in the IDF, respectively, and the line number must be checked manually, and one communication worker is also placed in the IDF and MDF, respectively, there was an inconvenience of manually checking and recording the line manually.

Recently, various technologies have been developed to solve such inconveniences. For example, when there is a connection between the equipment and the patch panel, there is a technology in which a light lamp provided at the front of the patch panel is turned on by a PoE (Power of Ethernet) power provided from the equipment, but to find a line of a terminal (node). There is a limit that cannot function for the purpose of confirming the line number and confirming the path information of the communication link from the terminal (node) to the main wiring board.

In addition, a variety of programs for the management of the station has been proposed, but the conventional programs for the management of the station are merely monitoring the state in which the administrator sets the communication path of the LAN cable in advance, so that frequent replacement of nodes or connection of the communication link is required. There is a limit in that the relationship change and the addition of network devices on the rack are eliminated, and the modification and management of the line number according to the change is not easy.
