Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operating facility of the title control method by adding a part to a software program to store the edition number of the software itself together with a processing function which reads the edition number out of the firmware of each device to check and store said edition number. CONSTITUTION:An on-line program 1 and a firmware 6 always store their own edition numbers respectively. These edition numbers are read out by the program 1 through a firmware mounting circuit 5 and a firmware access circuit 4 when said edition numbers are changed regardless of the initialization, extension and change. The matching state is checked between the edition number of software and that of each firmware and stored in a memory 2. This matching check result is automatically displayed on a display terminal 3. At the same time, a maintenance operator can always know the system edition number via the terminal 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for managing the version number of an exchange, and particularly to a method for managing the version number when a device having firmware is changed or added.

Conventionally, when managing switching program versions, the software version and firmware version were managed separately, and the firmware version was not managed on the actual machine, but a label was attached to the device itself. .

In the conventional version management described above, the software version is managed by online software, but the firmware version is not managed by online software (it cannot be read by online software). The disadvantage is that you cannot check the version problems online, and you can check the software version on the display terminal, but you cannot see the firmware version, so you have to go directly to the switch and check the label. be.

The method of managing the system version of an exchange according to the present invention includes a part on the software program that stores the version of the software itself, and a processing function that reads the version of the firmware from the firmware of each device, checks it, and stores it. Furthermore, the firmware of each device stores the version number so that it can be read from software. The system has a circuit that can freely read out the firmware version number using online software, and also has a way for maintenance personnel to view the software and firmware version numbers through a display terminal.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The online program 1 and firmware 6 always store their own version numbers. When the versions of the online program 1 and firmware 6 change, regardless of initial, expansion, or modification, the online program 1 reads out the versions of all firmware through the firmware loading circuit 5 and the firmware access circuit 4, and updates the software version. The firmware version number is checked for consistency with the version number of each firmware, and the firmware is stored in the memory 2. The matching results are automatically displayed on the display terminal 3. Also, the maintenance person can know the version number of the system through the display terminal 3 at any time.

As explained above, according to the present invention, both the software program and the firmware program have a circuit that stores their own version number and the version number of each firmware from the software program, and a program that stores the version number in the memory. However, by having a program that checks version consistency and displaying the results, it is possible to prevent version problems and prevent adverse effects on the system, and it is possible to know the system version number from a remote display terminal. This improves the ease of operation.
