Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain quick coping on the maintenance and operation of an exchange by abandoning an unnecessary message in messages outputted from the exchange to a maintenance operation device. SOLUTION: An unnecessary message registration data storage section 25 of an exchange 20 stores input information given from an input output device 12 of a maintenance operation device 10, through a function 13 that registers unnecessary messages of the exchange. On the occurrence of a message in the exchange, whether or not the message is registered in a storage section 25 storing unnecessary message registration data is retrieved, and when it is not registered, the message is transmitted as it is to the maintenance operation device 10, and when registered, the message is abandoned.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a maintenance and operation system for an exchange, and more particularly to a method for processing a message output from the exchange to a maintenance and operation device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An exchange operation and maintenance device processes various messages output from an exchange and performs control operations for maintenance and operation such as exchange maintenance, line maintenance, traffic measurement and control, and service management.

[0003] Among these various messages, in addition to important messages output from the exchanges in the operating state, a large amount of unnecessary messages generated when the exchanges are regularly maintained are included. Therefore, the maintenance and operation apparatus normally processes all output messages as messages from the exchanges in the operating state.

[0004]

As described above, since the maintenance and operation equipment processes all messages input from the exchange as equivalent messages, it is possible to immediately judge an important message output from the exchange in operation. However, there is a problem that the processing may be delayed due to the maintenance operation of the exchange.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a function for selecting messages output from a switching system to a maintenance and operation device based on an instruction from the maintenance and operation device, thereby enabling quick response in maintenance and operation of the switching device. Is to do.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention discards unnecessary messages out of the messages output from the exchange to the maintenance and operation equipment, thereby enabling quick response in the maintenance and operation of the exchange. Features.

More specifically, a function for registering information of an unnecessary message inside the exchange, and referring to the information of the registered unnecessary message when the message is output from the exchange to the maintenance operation device, If it is determined that the output message is a message registered as an unnecessary message, a function of discarding the message is provided. On the other hand, a request for registration / cancellation of the unnecessary message is sent to the maintenance and operation equipment side by the exchange. And transmitting only important messages from the messages output by the exchange to the maintenance and operation device.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The maintenance operation device (10) includes a processing device (11) and an input / output device (12). The processing device (11) includes a function (13) for registering an unnecessary message to the exchange. ing.

On the side of the exchange (20), a message control unit (21) is provided. The message control unit (21) includes a storage unit (25) for storing registration data of unnecessary messages, A function (22 and 24) for registering data to be registered as an unnecessary message input from the maintenance operation device (10) in the storage unit (25), and a function for storing the message when sending the message to the maintenance operation device (10). Part (2
A function (23) for referring to the registration data of the unnecessary message registered in 5) and discarding the corresponding message is included.

The input / output device (1) of the maintenance operation device (10)
The input information provided from 2) passes through a function (13) for registering an unnecessary message to the exchange, and an unnecessary message registration data storage section (25) of the exchange (20).
When a message occurs in the exchange, the message is stored in an unnecessary message registration data storage unit (2).
A search is performed to determine whether the message is registered in 5). If the message is not registered, the message is directly sent to the maintenance operation device (10). If the message is registered, the message is discarded.

FIG. 2 shows an operation of registering unnecessary messages in the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows an example of unnecessary message registration data stored in the storage unit (25).

The operation of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

First, message data (for example, the message number and the accommodation location information of the message source) that may not be required to be transmitted to the maintenance operation device from the input / output device (12) of the maintenance operation device (10). Is sent to the exchange through the function (13) for registering an unnecessary message. This operation is repeated for the number of data to be registered as unnecessary messages.

On the exchange (20) side, this data is received by the data registration function (22) and stored in the unnecessary message registration data storage section (25). In the storage unit (25),
As shown in FIG. 3, unnecessary message registration data including a registration data valid / invalid flag, the number of registered unnecessary messages, and unnecessary message data arranged for the number of registered messages is stored.

If the exchange (20) can discard unnecessary messages in the regular maintenance when the maintenance operation device (10) performs the maintenance operation of the exchange, the input / output of the maintenance operation device (10) is performed. An unnecessary message registration data (25) of the message processing function unit of the exchange (20) is set from an apparatus (12) through a function (13) for registering an unnecessary message. The function (24) performs an instruction that the registered data is valid. The function (24) of setting a flag that receives this instruction writes a valid flag in the registration data valid / invalid flag area of unnecessary message registration data stored in the storage unit (25).

When a message occurs, the exchange (10) refers to the registration data of the unnecessary message stored in the storage unit (25), and furthermore, if the registration data valid / invalid flag is a valid flag. The registered messages are searched, and if the generated message is not registered as an unnecessary message, the maintenance operation device (10)
If the generated message is registered as an unnecessary message, the message discard function (2
The generated message is discarded by 3).

Also, even if the data is registered in the storage unit (25) as an unnecessary message, when the data becomes necessary on the maintenance operation device side thereafter, the function of setting the flag on the exchange side (24) ), An instruction that the registration data is invalid is issued, and a function (24) for setting a flag that has received the instruction causes the unnecessary message registration data stored in the storage unit (25) to be stored. Since an invalid flag is written in the registration data valid / invalid flag area, even a message that has been discarded until then is sent to the maintenance and operation device without being discarded thereafter.

Therefore, once the information about the message output from the exchange is written and stored in the storage unit (25), after that, the renewal of the registered data valid / invalid flag is performed as necessary, and the exchange operates the maintenance operation device. Can be appropriately selected and output according to the purpose.

[0019]

According to the present invention, it is possible to discard unnecessary messages out of messages output from the exchange and output only necessary messages to the maintenance and operation equipment.
It is possible to quickly respond to the maintenance and operation of the exchange.
