Abstract

A recording system records engineering information of the wiring record of the routing of circuits in a telephone system at a site address (SA). The telephone system has a site computer (SC). An engineering computer (EC) is located at an engineering address (EA) remote from the site address (SA) and the engineering information is stored both on the site computer (SC) and the engineering computer (EC). The engineering information is originated by and can only be changed by access to the engineering computer (EC). The engineering information is transferred from the engineering compuler (EC) to the site computer (SC) only after complete validation of the engineering information at the engineering address. in addition to the engineering information there is also customer information which is held on both the engineering computer (EC) and the site computer (SC) and can be changed by access to the engineering computer or the site computer. <IMAGE>

Description

Recording Systems This invention relates to recording systems for providing a comprehensive wiring record of the routing of circuits together with a record of other customer input information within a telephone system at a site, for example a large office building.
At present, various systems exist for recording the routing of circuits. One known system comprises a card index system in which the routing of each handset of the telephone system is kept on a respective card and any changes in this routing is recorded by amendment of the card.
A problem with the known systems is reliably maintaining and updating the wiring records; in the case of the card index system, cards can be lost and with the complexity of modern telephone sytems, the re-tracing of the routing can be a very time-consuming operation.
Modern telephone systems often utilise a computer, but even recording the wiring records and changes in the wiring records on a database accessible by this computer may not be entirely reliable because the updating process is subject to human error and omission and a complete cross-check of the information fed in can not be effected.
The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforesaid problems of reliability.
According to the present invention there is provided a recording system for recording information (hereinafter called engineering information) of the wiring record of the routing of circuits in a telephone system at a site address, the telephone system having a site computer and the recording system being characterised in that a seconc computer (hereinafter referred to as an engineering computer) is located at an address (hereinafter referred to as the engineering address) remote from the site address and the engineering information is stored both on the site computer and the engineering computer, and the recording system being further characterised in that the engineering information is originated by and can only be changed by access to the engineering computer and the engineering information is transferred from the engineering computer to the site computer only after complete validation of the engineering information at the engineering address.
The whole system can be controlled by specially written software the permanent record of which is kept at the engineering address. Under the control of this software the engineering information can be reliably merged or integrated with appropriate cross-checks to allow access to or to formulate a new master file of engineering information. If the engineering information needs to be changed the amendments can be made at the engineering address or via a telegraphic link (e.g. a modem link) from the site address to the engineering address.
In addition to the engineering information there is other site information (hereafter referred to as customer information) such as location of handset and equipment information. This customer information is originated and can be changed by access to the engineering computer or the site computer and is held on both computers.
One recording system in accordance with the invention is shown in the accompanying annotated diagram.
The system comprises basically a site address SA incorporating a site computer SC associated with the telephone system at the site and an engineering address EA incorporating an engineering computer EC. The two addresses are interconnected by a telegraphic link. If amendment to the engineering information is to be made from the site address the following information exchange as shown by lines 1, 2 and 3 take place across the telegraphic link.
1) Customer information is sent to the engineering address and integrated with the engineerin information.
2) Engineering information is amended in the eng ineering computer via instructions sent from the site address.
3) Updated engineering information is sent back to the site computer to update the engineering information held on the site computer.
The result is that the most recent engineering information and customer information is held simultaneously on both the engineering computer and the site computer at the completion of the information exchange.
Access to the site computer and in particular to the engineering computer can be strictly controlled to prevent any security breach.
It will be appreciated that the engineering computer can be, so to speak, a central computer connected through respective telegraphic links to several site computers at different sites. Hence only one basic software package is needed for several sites.

Claims (1)

1. A recording system for recording engineering information of the wiring record of the routing of circuits in a telephone system at a site address, the telephone system having a site computer and the recording system being characterised in that an engineering computer is located at an engineering address remote from the site address and the engineering information is stored both on the site computer and the engineering computer, and the recording system being further characterised in that the engineering information is originated by and can only be changed by access to the engineering computer and the engineering information is transferred from the engineering computer to the site computer only after complete validation of the engineering information at the engineering address.
