It will be.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of essential parts of the embodiment of the present invention, in which the connectors 5-1 to 5-n of the input side patch panel 1 are shown.
And a wiring connecting device in which the connectors 6-1 to 6-n of the output side patch panel 2 are connected by the patch cables 3-1 to 3-n, and the patch cables 3-1 to 3-n are 4 respectively. A case is shown in which one signal line S and one connection confirmation line G are provided. The signal lines S of the connectors 5-1 to 5-n are connected to various networks such as a private branch exchange, and the signal lines S of the connectors 6-1 to 6-n are connected to various terminal devices such as a telephone and a personal computer. .

Further, reference numerals 21 and 22 are address decoders which decode the address signal from the management control unit 4 to set a designated output line to a low level and set other output lines to a high level, 23 is a comparison circuit, and 24 is a management circuit. A processor (CPU) of the control unit 4, 25 is a memory (MEM) including a floppy disk, a random access memory, etc., SW1 to SW5 are various switches provided on the front surface of the management control unit 4 in FIG.
1 to L1n are connectors 5-1 to 5-1 of the input side patch panel 1
5-n compatible LED display, L21 to L
2n are connectors 6-1 to 6-n of the output side patch panel 2
It is an indicator using a corresponding light emitting diode.

When the connection information is input to the management control unit 4 by a floppy disk, written in the memory 25, and the new / addition switch SW1 is pressed, the processor 24 of the management control unit 4 reads the connection information from the memory 25, and the connection information The address signal generated based on the above is added to the address decoder 21 of the input side patch panel 1 and the address decoder 22 of the output side patch panel 2. For example, in the case of connection information for connecting the connector 5-1 of the input side patch panel 1 and the connector 6-2 of the output side patch panel 2, the display unit L11 is configured by the low level output of the address decoder 21. A forward voltage is applied to the light emitting diode to emit light, and similarly, a low voltage output of the address decoder 22 causes a forward voltage to be applied to the light emitting diode forming the display L22 to emit light. In this case, the blinking control can be performed in a predetermined cycle according to the control signal from the management control unit 4.

Therefore, the patch cable 3-is provided between the connectors 5-1 and 6-2 corresponding to the indicators L11 and L22 which emit light.
When connected as shown by 1, the connectors 5-1 and 6
-2 signal line S is connected via the signal line S of the patch cable 3-1 and between the decode output line of the address decoder 21 for the display L11 and the input line of the comparison circuit 23,
It will be connected via the connection confirmation line G.

When this connection work is completed, the comparison circuit 23
, A low-level decode output signal (“0111 ... 1)” to the display L11 only from the address decoder 21 is input via the connection confirmation line G of each patch cable 3. , Address decoder 2
Decoded output signals (“1011 ...
1) is input. At that time, since the designated positions are connected by the patch cable 3-1, this patch cable 3-
The low-level position of the decode output signal is changed via the connection confirmation line G of 1. That is, the comparison circuit 23
The decode output signal of the address decoder 21 input to the address decoder becomes "1011 ... 1", and the address decoder 2
It becomes the same as the decoded output signal of No. 2. Therefore, the coincidence detection signal is added from the comparison circuit 23 to the management control unit 4. In this case, the decode output signal of the unconnected connector can be regarded as a high level (non-designated).

In the new / addition mode, the management control unit 4 monitors the coincidence detection signal from the comparison circuit 23, and when this coincidence detection signal is added, it is determined that the designated positions are connected by the patch cable 3. Then, for example, buzzer BZ
When the connection position is displayed by sounding (see Fig. 1) or blinking the display unit, the lighting control is switched to indicate that the specified wiring connection has been made by sound and light. However, the process shifts to the next process after a predetermined time of about several seconds. In that case, the presence or absence of the next connection information is determined, and if there is the next connection information, an address signal indicating the position according to the connection information is added to the address decoders 21 and 22. Therefore, with a relatively simple structure, it is possible to support the wiring connection by the patch cable 3, and it is possible to confirm whether or not the result of the wiring connection work is correct.

When the deletion information is input to the management control unit 4 and written in the memory 25 and the deletion switch SW2 is pressed, the management control unit 4 outputs an address signal according to the deletion information read from the memory 25 to the address decoder 21 ,. 22. For example, when the patch cable 3-1 is deleted, the indicators L11 and L22 are controlled to light or blink. In this case, until the patch cable 3-1 is deleted, the coincidence detection signal is input from the comparison circuit 23 to the management control unit 4, and the management control unit 4 is in the deletion mode. It will be monitored whether there is no.

Indicators L11, L whose lighting or blinking is controlled
When the patch cable 3-1 is removed from the 22 compatible connectors 5-1 and 6-2, the comparison circuit 2 is connected via the connection confirmation line G.
Since the low-level decode output signal input to 3 disappears, the all-high level signal is output to the comparison circuit 23.
Entered in. Therefore, the coincidence detection signal from the comparison circuit 23 disappears. Thereby, the management control unit 4 can confirm that the patch cable 3-1 at the designated position has been deleted.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 described above, the input side patch panel 1 is provided with the address decoder 21 and is connected to the management control unit 4 by the address signal line, and the output side patch panel 2 is connected with the address decoder 22 and the comparison circuit. 23 and
Although the case where the address signal line and the coincidence detection signal line are connected is shown, the comparison circuit 23 may be provided in the input side patch panel 1.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the embodiment of the present invention, in which a new / addition switch SW1 and a deletion switch SW2 are used.
The case where any of and is pressed is shown. First, it is determined whether or not the pressed switch is the new / additional switch SW1 (a), and when the new / additional switch SW1 is not pressed, it is determined whether or not the deletion switch SW2 (h). .

When it is determined that the new / additional switch SW1 has been pressed, blinking control of the LED (light emitting diode) at the location according to the connection information is performed (b). As described with reference to FIG. 3, this is to send the address signal indicating the connection position from the management control unit 4 and control the display to blink according to the decoding result of the address signal. In this case, for example,
The management control unit 4 is configured to add a blinking instruction signal and a clock signal to the address decoders 21 and 22, and outputs a low-level decoded output signal alternately at a high level and a low level at a predetermined cycle synchronized with the clock signal, When there is no blinking instruction signal, a low level decode output signal can be continuously output. For such a control configuration, a known blinking display configuration or the like can be used.

Next, the blinking portions of the LED are connected with a patch cable (c). For example, in FIG. 3, the display unit L is displayed by the decode output signals of the address decoders 21 and 22.
When 1n and L2n are controlled to blink, this display L1n,
The patch cables 3-n connect between the connectors 5-n and 6-n designated by L2n.

Next, the management control unit 4 determines whether or not the end / interruption switch SW4 has been pressed (d). When the end / interruption switch SW4 is pressed, the operation is ended, and when it is not pressed, it is determined. Check the connection (e). This connection confirmation is performed via the connection confirmation line G of the above-mentioned patch cable 3-n, and in FIG. 3, since the low-level signal positions input to the comparison circuit 23 are the same, The coincidence detection signal is added to the management control unit 4 to confirm the connection.

When the connection is confirmed, the buzzer BZ (Fig. 1
(See), and after switching the blinking of the LED to continuous lighting, the process moves to the next connection point (f). That is, the buzzer BZ
Is sounded to enable audible recognition of connection completion, and the transition from blinking to continuous lighting enables visual recognition of connection completion.

Next, the management control unit 4 judges the presence or absence of the next connection information (g), and if there is no next connection information, the process ends, and if there is the next connection information, moves to step (b). . The duration of the buzzer BZ ringing and LED lighting is
A few seconds is usually sufficient so that it can be checked whether the correct connection has been made and preparation for the transition to the next connection work.

Further, when the deletion information is input by a floppy disk or the like and the deletion switch SW2 is pressed, it is determined in step (h) that the deletion switch SW2 is pressed, so that the blinking control of the LED of the portion according to the deletion information is performed. Do (i).
Next, the patch cable 3 between the blinking points of the LED is removed (j). For example, when the patch cable 3-1 in FIG. 3 is deleted, blinking control of the indicators L11 and L22 is performed. As a result, the patch cable 3-1 is removed from the connectors 5-1 and 6-1. Next end /
It is determined whether or not the interruption switch SW4 is pressed (k),
When the end / interruption switch SW4 is pressed, the operation is ended, and when not pressed, deletion confirmation is performed (l). This deletion confirmation is performed through the connection confirmation line G of the patch cable 3. In FIG. 3, the deletion confirmation is performed by detecting the state where the coincidence detection signal is not output from the comparison circuit 23. It can be carried out.

When the deletion confirmation is made, the management control unit 4
The buzzer BZ is sounded, and the blinking of the LED is switched to continuous lighting, and then the operation moves to the next deletion point (m). By moving to this next deletion point, the presence or absence of the next deletion information is judged (n), if there is the next deletion information, the step moves to step (i), and if there is no next deletion information, it ends. To do.

As described above, the position of the connector 5 of the input side patch panel 1 and the connector 6 of the output side patch panel 2 are changed by blinking or lighting the indicator of the connection position or the deletion position according to the connection information or the deletion information. Since the position is designated, connection by the patch cable 3 or deletion of the patch cable can be easily performed without error without referring to a management ledger or the like.

As described above, the connection confirmation line G of the patch cable 3 can be used to confirm the connection between the input side patch panel 1 and the output side patch panel 2 and the deletion confirmation. It is also possible to collect the connection status information in the section 4. It is also possible to point out the error by comparing the given connection information with the actual connection state.

For example, in FIG. 3, the address signal of the input side patch panel 1 applied to the address decoder 21 from the management control unit 4 is fixed, and the address signal of the output side patch panel 2 applied to the address decoder 22 is sequentially advanced. do it,
By storing the address signal when the coincidence detection signal is obtained from the comparison circuit 23 with respect to all the addresses of the input side patch panel 1 and the output side patch panel 2, the input side patch panel The connection status information can be obtained by the correspondence between the addresses of the panel 1 and the output side patch panel 2.

As described above, since the connection status information can be obtained, it is possible to check whether the wiring connection is made according to the setting by collating with the connection information input from the floppy disk or the like. In this case, in the process of obtaining the connection status information, when it is compared with the input connection information and the location where the wiring connection according to the input connection information is not detected is detected, the alarm indicator L5 (see FIG. 1) is displayed. It is possible to turn on the lights and control the lights 7 and 8 at that position.
