2, for the demonstration of many-valued parameter

In input/output module, it is shown as two contrasts to the form of showing.I.e. form configurations shown template parameter, another form shows the configuration parameter of selected equipment.Input/output module can compare automatically to the configuration parameter value of configuration template and equipment, and corresponding alignment of data is presented at same delegation.

3, for the demonstration of relevant parameter

It is shown as two tabulations in input/output module, each tabulation all is the form of a plurality of sub-configuration items of carry below the configuration item icon.A form configurations shown template parameter, another form shows the configuration parameter of selected equipment.Input/output module compares automatically to the data of configuration template and equipment, and corresponding alignment of data is presented at same delegation.

Embodiment five: the editing process of device configuration information.Behind the configuration information that inquires selected equipment or configuration template, can select configuration information, and to its executive editor's operation.

Referring to Fig. 8, be the editing process schematic flow sheet of present device configuration information, concrete steps comprise:

S801, client identify the Configuration Manager that sends to server end according to the operation of user on gui interface with corresponding configuration item sign, edit operation sign and target device sign or configuration template.

Showing the configuration parameter of title, the pairing device name of each configuration item and the equipment that inquires and the corresponding templates of each configuration item on the gui interface of client. the user selects certain parameter in the configuration parameter display list of equipment or template, and select the operation that to carry out, at this moment, client gets access to corresponding configuration item sign, target device or configuration template sign and edit operation sign, and above information is sent to server end.

For different parameter types, also inequality for the edit operation that the user selects.For the monodrome parameter, only provide retouching operation; For many-valued and relevant parameter, provide establishment, deletion and retouching operation.

After distribution sub module in the Configuration Manager of S802, server end receives editor's (create, delete or revise) operation mark, read the inlet file in this distribution sub module, obtain the position of editor's submodule, and configuration item sign, target device or configuration template sign are sent to editor's (create, delete or revise) submodule.

What S803, editor's (create, delete or revise) submodule were judged the target identification correspondence is configuration template or equipment, if configuration template, then execution in step S807; If equipment, then execution in step S804.

S804, editor's (create, delete or revise) submodule judge that compiling objective is an equipment, then send instruction to device interface module, carry target device and identify and edit operation information, and selected configuration parameter.

S805, device interface module structure are sent to the instruction of equipment, carry configuration parameter, the corresponding operation of target device execution (establishment, deletion or modification configuration parameter).

Device interface module is the response message that returns of receiving target equipment also, and sends to editor's (create, deletion or revise) submodule.

S806, editor (create, deletion or revise) submodule judges whether response message is success response message, if execution in step S807 then; If failure response message, then execution in step S808.

S807, editor (create, deletion or revise) after submodule will be edited by memory module target device or the configuration parameter of configuration template be stored in the database.

S808, editor's (create, delete or revise) submodule send the editing and processing object information to input/output module, are shown to the user by input/output module.

Describe as can be known by above flow process, the present invention can realize once the configuration information of one or more equipment is managed and safeguards, improve the operating efficiency of equipment configuration information management and maintenance.

Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification to the present invention and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Like this, if of the present invention these are revised and modification belongs within the scope of claim of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, then the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
