However, the wireless base station apparatus performs periodic status monitoring (means 107 and 109) by the status monitoring instruction 325 of the wireless base station apparatus and the wireless base station 1 by the registration status confirmation instruction 314 of the apparatus configuration management apparatus 4. The method is, for example, TCP / I.
An inter-network control message protocol (Internet control meme in a network configured by P
This can be realized by using a function provided by a protocol that configures the network 2, such as an echo request / response function (ping command) of a message protocol (ICMP). Similarly, in the means 108, the response signal 208 or 210 is, for example, 1
It starts when the reception is not possible even after waiting once or a fixed number of times.

In the case of the above embodiment, the radio base stations 1 and 3
Since the connection to the network 2 (installation and removal) can be carried out in easy means, response from the wireless base station 1 and 3
If the response signal 208 does not exist, even if it is automatically determined that the device has been removed, it does not affect the operation of the entire communication system.
It is possible for the device configuration management device 4 to automatically determine that the wireless base stations 1 and 3 are treated as removed. Further, when it is judged that the own station is removed, the automatic restoration can be performed by autonomously starting the automatic registration procedure starting from the means 100.

[0050]

As described above, according to the present invention, the automatic registration means activated by the installation, the device connection state monitoring means, the definition of the condition for removing the device as a result of the monitoring, and the removal means are clearly described. Since the system can be defined and automatically processed mechanically, the amount of work can be reduced by the system of the present invention substituting the work conventionally performed by the maintainer by the automatic processing. Therefore, there is an effect that the management data maintenance work related to the wireless base station from the installation to the removal of the wireless base station can be simplified.

Further, the difference from the conventional technique of the present invention is concealed in the radio base station and the device configuration management device, and the constituent elements to which the present invention is applied are limited. Therefore, it is possible to use the conventional device or system for the components other than the wireless base station device and the device configuration management device that employ the automatic registration method of the present invention.
