JPH02202256A - Switchboard containing package storing position information - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the maintenance property of a switchboard, etc., by using a fault processing means which detects a fault package to start a correspondence information conversion processing means and therefore converts the logical expression into the physical package store position information to output this information. CONSTITUTION:When an operator inputs the logical numbers of an equipment to be checked, e.g. a subscriber number and a circuit number via a maintenance terminal 11, a maintenance function control part 24 reads the input information and starts a correspondence information conversion processing part 22 in a logical expression form. The part 22 converts the logical expression into the physical package store position information via a correspondence information data base 30 contained in a switchboard and informs a maintenance engineer of this converted logical information. At the same time, the part 22 is started in a logical expression form of a faulty package in case this package is detected at a fault processing part 23. Then the part 22 converts the logical expression into the physical package store position information via the data base 30, respectively.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a communication device controlled by a storage program.

For example, the present invention relates to an electronic exchange, and particularly to an exchange having built-in package accommodation position information.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, information regarding the housing position of a package built into a switchboard or the like in the switchboard and information indicating the correspondence between the functions of the package exists only in design documents, such as construction drawings.

Then, when adding or removing packages,
Updating construction drawings in this regard is generally performed separately from addition and deletion work.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When a hardware failure occurs in a switch, failure information is output only in a logical expression format, and it is not possible to immediately identify which package is causing the failure.

Furthermore, even if a package is inserted in an incorrect position, the incorrect insertion is not immediately detected, which may cause a problem when the package is used.

In these cases, it is necessary to analyze the cause of the failure by comparing the functions of the package and the housing position of the package.

However, since the correspondence information between the storage location of a package and the functions of that package exists only on the construction drawing, it is necessary to refer to the construction drawing to find out which package is causing the failure. This requires a long time to repair the problem, and when maintenance is performed at multiple locations, it is difficult to refer to and update construction drawings.

Furthermore, when there is a new subscriber, it is necessary to determine the housing location of the related circuit on the package, but it is difficult to search for the housing location on the exchange without construction drawings.

Furthermore, when a package is added or deleted, the construction drawings are not automatically updated, so if the update is neglected, there is a problem that the user may refer to old information and make an incorrect decision.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to improve the disadvantages of the conventional example, and particularly to provide a switching device with built-in package storage position information that can know the storage position of each device's package without referring to construction drawings. do.

[Means to solve the problem]

The switching device with built-in package storage position information of the present invention stores information indicating the correspondence between the storage position information of the package and the functions of the package, and when the logical numbers of nine devices are entered manually, a logical expression is generated using the information. Correspondence information conversion processing means that converts and outputs physical package storage location information, and when a faulty package occurs, detects the faulty package and activates the correspondence information conversion processing means to convert the logical representation of the faulty package into physical information. and a failure processing means for converting the information into package accommodation position information and outputting it. Additionally, add packages.

Corresponding information setting processing means for detecting and updating information on the type of package added or deleted and the package storage position information at the time of deletion, and the information on the type of the inserted package and the package storage position information at the time of package insertion. and erroneous insertion notification processing means for notifying erroneous insertion when it is determined that erroneous insertion has occurred. This aims to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.

[Embodiments of the Invention] In the present invention, an electronic exchange has correspondence information between package accommodation position information and functions possessed by the package.

This correspondence information is provided for each station where an electronic exchange is installed. Failure information at the time of a hardware failure is not only expressed in a logical form, but also physical accommodation position information is notified as failure information by determining package accommodation position information from correspondence information held within the exchange.

This correspondence information is automatically updated when packages are added or deleted. When a package is added, the hardware checks which storage position and what function the package is being stored in and notifies the software, and this information updates the correspondence information inside the exchange.

Furthermore, when a package is inserted, the consistency between the insertion position and the package type is automatically determined based on correspondence information stored within the exchanger.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a specific embodiment of the present invention, in which a package attachment/detachment monitoring device 10. Maintenance terminal 11. Correspondence information setting processing section 20. Consistency foot part 21. Correspondence information conversion processing unit 22. Failure processing unit 23. Maintenance function control unit 24.
Correspondence information database 30. Erroneous insertion notification processing unit 40. A package accommodation position information notification processing section 41 is shown.

Among these, maintenance terminal 11. The fault processing unit 23 and the maintenance function control unit 24 are components of an existing electronic exchange.

Logical number of the device that the operator wants to check now.

For example, when a subscriber telephone number or line number is input from the maintenance terminal 11, the maintenance function control section 24 reads the input information and converts it into a corresponding information conversion processing section 2 in a logical expression format.
Start 2. The correspondence information conversion processing unit 22 converts the logical expression into physical package accommodation position information using the correspondence information database 30 in the exchange and notifies the maintenance person of the information.

Further, when a faulty package is detected in the fault processing unit 23, the correspondence information conversion processing unit 22 is activated based on the logical expression format of the faulty package.

The correspondence information conversion processing unit 22 converts the logical expression into physical package accommodation position information using the correspondence information database 30 and notifies the physical package storage position information.

Information in the correspondence information database 30 is set as follows. That is, when a package is added, the package attachment/detachment monitoring device 10 sends the added package type and package accommodation position information to the correspondence information setting processing unit 20.
Notify. The correspondence information setting processing unit 20, based on the information notified by the package attachment/detachment monitoring device 10,
The compatibility information database 30 is updated, and the compatibility information database 3 is automatically updated in the same way when a package is deleted.
An update of 0 is performed.

Further, the correspondence information setting processing unit 20, when inserting the package,
The consistency determination unit 21 is activated. In the consistency determination unit 21,
Consistency is determined based on the type of inserted package and storage location information.

When it is determined that there is an erroneous insertion, the consistency determination unit 21 activates the erroneous insertion notification processing unit 40, and the erroneous insertion notification processing unit 40 notifies the erroneous insertion.

〔Effect of the invention〕
