Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily recognize a fault and its content of an exchange in a monitor room by providing a signal detector detecting a signal on a data line, an alarm display panel and a display device to a remote monitor equipment. CONSTITUTION:When a fault takes place in an exchange 2, the data is instantly reported to an operation management equipment 3. The management equipment 3 controls an interface circuit connecting to a data line 8 and transfers information onto the circuit 8. The information is outputted as it is on a display device 7 in the remote monitor equipment 1. A monitor personnel in a monitor room can immediately recognize the content of a faulty state of an exchange 2 depending on the content of the output. On the other hand, when a signal detector 5 detects the presence of a signal on the line 8, the alarm display panels 6 connected to the detector 5 is started and the presence of message output is displayed. The monitor personnel can find out the fault easily by the fault report of the exchange 2 displayed on the display panel 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to switching equipment, and more particularly to a remote monitoring device for switching equipment.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 2(a), a conventional remote monitoring system for a switching system involves installing an operation management device 11 connected to the switching system 10 via a data line 14 in a monitoring room. One method is to monitor and operate the exchange in a monitoring room, and the other is to install an alarm display panel 15 connected to the alarm output boat of the exchange 10 by a signal line 16 in the monitoring room, as shown in Fig. 2(b). There were 10 monitoring methods. Note that 12 is a typewriter, and 13 is a display device such as a printer or a display.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among the conventional remote monitoring methods mentioned above, in the former method, the operation management device 11 itself is installed in the monitoring room, so there is a situation where installation is impossible due to the size of the monitoring room. In addition, there are disadvantages in that it is necessary to prepare power supply equipment and the like for installing the operation management device 11. Furthermore, since the exchange 10 is usually installed in a machine room, there is anxiety associated with operating the exchange 10 without being able to see its operational status.

The latter method has the disadvantage that only the alarm display panel 15 is installed in the monitoring room, so that only the presence or absence of alarms from the exchange 10 can be monitored, and the contents of the alarms cannot be known in detail.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A remote monitoring device for an exchange according to the present invention, which solves the above conventional problems, is connected to an operation management device that performs operation and maintenance of the exchange through a data line, and receives messages from the operation management device. a display device that outputs a message, a signal detection device that detects a signal on the data line, and an alarm display panel that indicates when a message is being output by detecting the signal of the signal detection device, and the display device detects the signal on the data line, and the alarm display panel detects the signal of the signal detection device and indicates that a message is being output. The system is configured to monitor remotely.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a remote monitoring device for an exchange according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a remote monitoring device of the present invention, which is connected to an exchange 2 by a data line 8.
It is comprised of a signal detection device 5, an alarm display panel 6, and a display device 7 consisting of a printer or a display.

An operation management device 3 is connected to the exchange 2, and this operation management device 3 is connected to a signal detection device 5 of the remote monitoring device 1 via a data line 8. An alarm display panel 6 and a display device 7 are connected to the signal detection device 5, respectively. Further, a typewriter 4 is connected to the operation management device 3.

The switching device 2, in which the remote monitoring device 1 monitors the operation status via the operation management device 3, also monitors the operation status of the operation management device by inputting a command from the typewriter 4 connected to the operation management device 3. It is operated and maintained by 3.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, if any abnormality occurs in the exchange 2, the data is immediately reported to the operation management device 3. The operation management device 3 is a typewriter 4
It outputs a message to the server and stores failure information in a file device within the operation management device 3.

At the same time, the operation management device 3 controls the interface circuit to which the data line 8 is connected, and transfers information onto the data line 8. The information is directly outputted to the display device 7 in the remote monitoring device 1, and the monitoring personnel in the monitoring room can immediately know the contents of the abnormal state of the exchange 2 from the output contents. On the other hand, when the signal detection device 5 detects the presence of a signal on the data line 8, the signal detection device 5 activates the connected alarm display panel 6 and displays that a message is being output. The supervisor can easily discover an abnormality by the abnormality warning of the exchange 2 displayed on the alarm display panel 6.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, there is provided a display device that is connected to an operation management device that performs switchboard operation and maintenance through a data line, and that outputs messages from the operation management device, and a It is equipped with a signal detection device that detects a signal, and an alarm display panel that indicates when a message is being output by detecting the signal of the signal detection device, and remotely monitors the operating status of the exchange. This has the effect of being able to easily and immediately discover an abnormality in a switching equipment in a monitoring room without having to permanently station a person in a machine room, and to know the content and extent of the abnormality and take appropriate measures.
