Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure generally relates to a network probing apparatus.
Background
In order to detect the state of the network, the currently adopted technical means can be divided into two categories. The first type is physical detection, which determines whether a network line is good or bad by measuring physical characteristics (such as parameters of impedance, transmission attenuation, etc.) of the network line. The second type is protocol detection, which detects the transmission response process of the detection data packet in the network by using the network protocol (such as error control protocol, etc.).
In case of a network failure, the user service will be affected, especially in case of an emergency, causing a significant and immeasurable loss. How to guarantee the network health operation is a pain point for operators and users.
In general, in a network transmission management system of a telecommunication operator, physical detection is usually used to detect the quality of a line to find a problem. When the network failure at the user side causes the interruption of the whole service, the telecom operator may not be able to judge the root of the problem and assist the user to solve the service failure in the first time.
Further, in the case of a user-specific network, due to the security requirements of the user-specific network, the telecommunications carrier cannot initiate detection from the user side using the protocol detection means, and therefore the location of the fault is affected.
For telecommunications operators, it is highly desirable to be able to detect network conditions from the subscriber network side from the subscriber perspective, which facilitates fast fault location.
At present, in the field of network operation and maintenance, a user usually has a network management system of the user in the network, and the network operation condition can be monitored. However, because the intranet of the user is not open to the outside for safety, even if the intranet of the user built by renting the circuit of the telecom operator fails, the telecom operator cannot know the status of the user network in time, thereby affecting the timeliness of the customer service.

That is, the network detecting device 200 can transmit a short message to the network monitoring center 100 and can receive a short message from the network monitoring center 100. However, the short message sending and receiving module of the network detecting device 200 does not have other communication functions besides the short message sending and receiving function. Therefore, the communication between the network detecting device 200 and the network monitoring center 100 is limited to short message communication. As a more preferable example, the short message sending and receiving module is configured to have a short message sending and receiving function only for a preset access number of the network monitoring center 100, so that the short message sending and receiving module can only perform short message communication with the preset network monitoring center 100 and cannot perform short message communication with other numbers. Such a preferred design is particularly advantageous for the case where the user network is a private network, since such a preferred design enables the network probing apparatus 200 according to the present invention to secure the user private network.

For example, the whole network detection device may be packaged in a metal box (not shown), and the external interface includes an antenna interface (not shown) for short message transmission and reception and an RJ45 network port in addition to the 5V dc power plug.
The short message transceiver module 204 may be embedded in the control circuit 201, or may be disposed independently from the control circuit 201. For example, the control circuit 201 may control the short message transceiving module 204 by using the GPIO interface to implement the transceiving operation of the short message. Short messaging module 204 operates according to, for example, CDMA protocols. The short message sending and receiving module communicates with the control circuit 201 according to an RS232 protocol, for example. The antenna interface is used for connecting an antenna.

For example, as a preferred example, the network detection device of the present invention periodically and automatically detects the state of the network, and judges a fault when the detected network fails, and reports the state of the network to the network monitoring center through a short message according to the result of the judgment. Such installation deployment mode is very convenient because the user only needs to connect network interface and switch on, according to the utility model discloses a network detection device of intelligence will automatic operation, need not to maintain equipment to do not basically exert an influence to user network's normal use.
As an alternative example, the network detection apparatus of the present invention detects the state of the network by executing a ping command. Any other suitable command may be used to detect the status of the network.
When a network fault is detected, the control circuit 201 sends a short message containing alarm information to the network monitoring center through the short message transceiver module 204. As a more specific example, the short message includes a status identifier for indicating a status of the network, and the network monitoring center analyzes the received status identifier to know the status of the network. Since the status identifier for indicating the status of the network is predefined between the network detecting device and the network monitoring center according to the present invention, the network monitoring center can correctly analyze the status information of the network represented by the received status identifier.
