Abstract

PURPOSE:To acquire detailed fault information even at a remote location and to allow the device to take proper countermeasures immediately when a fault of a communication system equipment takes place. CONSTITUTION:Fault information from a print-out of a communication system equipment 5 is received by a fault information input circuit 1 and stored in a fault information storage circuit 2. An automatic dial circuit 3 is connected to a remote monitor information display device 8 via a public network 7. A fault information output circuit 4 sends fault information stored in the fault information storage circuit 2 via a connection line.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fault information transfer device, and more particularly to a fault information transfer device having a fault information storage function and an automatic calling function in a remote monitoring system for communication equipment.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a failure information transfer device for a remote monitoring system for communication equipment has used a public network to transfer only the presence or absence of an alarm signal indicating the occurrence of a failure.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] There has been a problem in that it is not possible to immediately take appropriate measures against a fault because the details of the fault are unclear based only on the presence or absence of an alarm signal.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] A fault information transfer device of the present invention is a fault information input circuit connected to a printout of fault information of the communication system device and inputting the fault information in a remote monitoring system for communication system devices. , a fault information storage circuit that stores the fault information input to the fault information input circuit, and an automatic call originating circuit that automatically calls a public network based on a destination number set in advance corresponding to the information display device. and a fault information output circuit for transmitting the fault information accumulated in the fault information storage circuit to the information display device via the public network connected by the automatic calling circuit.

Further, in the above configuration, the fault information output circuit may output the fault information stored in the fault information storage circuit to the printing device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

The fault information transfer device includes a fault information input circuit 1
, a fault information storage circuit 2 , an automatic calling circuit 3 , and a fault information output circuit 4 .

In this configuration, when a fault occurs in the communication system device 5 and fault information about the fault that has occurred is output from the printout of the communication system device 5, the fault information is input to the fault information input circuit 1. The fault information input circuit 1 stores fault information in the fault information storage circuit 2. Further, at the same time as the fault information is accumulated in the fault information storage circuit 2, the automatic calling circuit 3 automatically calls the public network 7 using the calling number corresponding to the remote monitoring information display device set in advance. . The fault information continuously output from the communication system device 5 is sent to the fault information input circuit 1.
is continuously accumulated in the fault information accumulation circuit 2. When the public network is connected by automatic calling, the fault information output circuit 4 transmits the current time information and the device number of the automatic device to the public network 7.
The information is output to the remote monitoring information display device 8 via. Thereafter, the fault information stored in the fault information storage circuit 2 is outputted to the remote monitoring information display device 8 via the public network 7. The fault information output circuit 4 outputs the fault information to the public network 7 and at the same time prints the fault information on the printing device 6.

[0010] If no fault information is output from the communication system device 5 for a certain period of time, the fault information output circuit 4 disconnects the communication path with the public network 7.

[0011]

As explained above, the present invention has a fault information storage circuit and an automatic call originating circuit, and uses a public network to remotely monitor communication equipment faults. You can also obtain detailed failure information and take appropriate measures immediately.
