JPH06284139A - Unitary management system for mtp level-3 processor in multi-processor type signal station having plural signal station numbers - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of processors by allowing a management processor to recognize a signal station number and allowing the one management processor to process plural signal station number thereby using the management processor in common. CONSTITUTION:The system has level-3 processors 1-4 mounted with MTP protocols in pair for each imparted signal station number thereon, and a management processor 11 managing the level-3 processors 1-4, and the management processor 11 identifies a signal station number to process plural signal station numbers. The management processor 11 recognizes which signal station number is given to each of the level-3 processor 1-4. For example, when a conversion table is indexed by using the processor numbers of the level-3 processor (xsi0) 1 and the level-3 processor (xsi1) 2, the numbers corresponding to the same signal station numbers are referenced and when the conversion table is indexed by using the processor numbers of the level-3 processors (#2, 3) 3, 4, the numbers corresponding to the different signal station numbers are referenced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a multi-signal station number (P
The present invention relates to a signal station of a multiprocessor type system having C), and more particularly to a unified management system of an MTP level 3 processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a signaling station (switching station) of a multiprocessor type system to which a plurality of signaling station numbers in the MTP protocol are assigned, each group of level 3 processors to which the same signaling station number is assigned is assigned. Corresponding to one management processor.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional management system of this type, one management processor is associated with each set of level 3 processors to which the same signal station number is assigned. However, there is a drawback in that as many management processors are required as the number of signal station numbers that the station has.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional art and to recognize a signal station number by a management processor. One management processor enables processing for a plurality of signal station numbers, and the number of processors can be reduced by sharing the management processor, which originally had to be provided for each signal station number.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the unified management system of the MTP level 3 processor in a multiprocessor type signaling station having a plurality of signaling station numbers according to the present invention is provided for each assigned signaling station number. Paired MT
A level 3 processor equipped with the P protocol and a management processor that manages these level 3 processors are provided. By identifying the signaling station number in this management processor, processing relating to a plurality of signaling station numbers is enabled. Is characterized by.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to the accompanying drawings.

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

Referring to FIG. 1, reference numerals 1, 2, 3,
4 is a level 3 processor # 0, # 1, # 2, #
3, reference numeral 11 is a management processor. One signal station number (P) for level 3 processors (# 0, # 1) 1 and 2
C) is added to form a first same signaling point number assigning processor set (# 0), and level 3 processors (# 2, #
3) A second signal station number (PC) is added to 3 and 4
The same signal station number assignment processor group (# 1) is formed. The management processor 11 controls these two sets of level 3 processors, respectively.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a conversion table for recognizing a plurality of signal stations in the management processor.

In FIG. 2, the management processor 11 can recognize from the table 21 which signal station number each level 3 processor is assigned. For example, when the table 21 is subtracted with the processor numbers of the level 3 processor (# 0) 1 and the level 3 processor (# 1) 2, the same own signal station number corresponding number is referred to. Subtracting by the processor number refers to a different number corresponding to the own signal station number.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a signal sequence of the level 3 processor and the management processor.

Referring to FIG. 3, for example, when the level 3 processor (# 0) 1 receives a network management signal from another station, this signal is notified to the management processor 11. The management processor 11 processes this signal reception, and if the level 3 processor of this signal receiving station needs to change its state, the same signal number as that of the level 3 processor (# 0) 1 which is the transmission source of the signal is used. Other assigned level 3 processors (in this case the level 3 processor (#
1) Find 2) and make a status change request. Since the signal station numbers are different for the level 3 processors (# 2) and (# 3) 3 and 4, the status change request is not issued.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention,
In a multi-processor type signal station with multiple signal station numbers, one management processor enables processing related to multiple signal station numbers by recognizing the signal station number by the management processor, and it must be provided for each signal station number. By sharing the management processor that has not become available, it is possible to reduce the number of processors.
