The present invention relates to a network setting method using DSS for setting up a network using DSS (Direct Station Selection) in an Internet key phone system.

The Internet key phone system is to build a key phone and a local area network (LAN) in one system. The Internet Key Phone System is an integrated system of voice and data that enables key phone functions, Internet access, and LAN-to-LAN access to remote nodes.

In other words, the key phone system integrates all communication elements in the existing office such as telephone, fax, data communication equipment, and network equipment for LAN connection.

In the conventional Internet key phone system, since all operations are performed using an IP (Internet Protocol) address, all devices must be assigned an IP address. Thus, all devices can operate as a system only after basic network configuration has been performed.

As an example of the network configuration, the keypad phone can be set up basic network settings or other additional functions using number buttons and program buttons. A method of setting a network in a keypad phone will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

1 is a view showing a network setting method using a conventional key phone.

Referring to FIG. 1, a user receives a program button selection command of a keypad phone (S100). The program button selection command may be a network setting request command. When the program button selection command is received, the mode of the keypad phone is switched to the network setting mode (S110).

Then, the network setting information is received from the user (S120).

The network configuration information may include at least one of IP address information, subnet mask information, gateway information, and gatekeeper information.

That is, the user can set the network by using the number buttons, * buttons, and # buttons of the keypad phone.

Network setting information received from the user is stored (S130). After the network setting information is stored, the program mode may be terminated.

However, in the case of DSS, since there is no program button or number button, network setting is impossible like the key phone. Therefore, in the case of DSS, a method of setting a PC using a medium access control (MAC) address is used. Since only one MAC address is assigned to an Ethernet device worldwide, the network is configured using the MAC address assigned to the DSS.

However, as described above, the DSS alone is not possible to set up a basic network, and there is inconvenience in that it is necessary to obtain help from another device.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a network setting method using a DSS that can set the network using the multi-function button of the DSS without the help of other devices, when setting the basic network of the DSS.

According to an aspect of the present invention to achieve the above object, in a method of setting up a network using a multi-function button of the DSS, receiving a network configuration request command from a user, supplying power to the DSS and the plurality of multi-function By providing a meaning to a button, a network setting method using DSS for receiving network setting information from the user may be provided.

The network setting request command is set in advance, and the meanings of the plurality of multifunction buttons are assigned to the plurality of multifunction buttons from 0 to 9, * command buttons, # command buttons, and IP address input command buttons. , A subnet mask input command button, a gateway input command button, or a gatekeeper input command button may be assigned.

The network setting information may include at least one of IP address information, subnet mask information, gateway information, and gatekeeper information.

Receiving network configuration information from the user may complete network configuration by storing the received network configuration information, receiving a DSS restart command from the user, and restarting the DSS.

The DSS restart command may be set in advance.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a view showing the technical device of the Internet key phone system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the Internet key phone system includes a hub 200, an Internet key phone telephone 210, and a DSS 220. The hub 200 is a device capable of transmitting data transmitted from one port to another connected port. The hub 200 may be a means for connecting all kinds of devices by Ethernet in an Internet key phone system.

The hub 200 may include an Internet keyphone phone port 202 for connecting the Internet keyphone phone 210 and a DSS port 204 for connecting the DSS.

The Internet key phone telephone 210 is a phone capable of making a call using the Internet network, and may be connected to the Internet key phone telephone port 202 of the hub 200.

The DSS 220 is a device having a plurality of multi-function buttons capable of performing additional functions. The DSS 220 may perform a plurality of additional functions in conjunction with a key phone. The DSS 220 may be connected to the DSS port 204 of the hub 200.

Hereinafter, the detailed description of the DSS 220 will refer to FIGS. 3A to 3B.

Figure 3a is a diagram showing a multi-function button of the DSS according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3b is a view showing the meaning of the multi-function button in the network configuration mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the multifunction button of the DSS may have a matrix structure. For example, the multifunction button of the DSS may have a 4 * 12 matrix structure.

In addition, each of the multi-function buttons of the DSS has a red light emitting diode and a green light emitting diode which may represent red, green, and orange.

Here, when the red LED blinks, it may mean that another person is using an additional function corresponding to the blinking button, that is, the blinking button. In addition, when the green light emitting diode is blinking, it may mean that the user himself is using the blinking button, and when the red diode and the green diode are combined and blinking in orange, the ringing sound may be generated. The user may use a plurality of additional functions by using the multi-function button of the DSS, and may identify the additional functions in use.

If the user wants to set up a network using the DSS among the plurality of additional functions of the DSS, the multifunction button of the DSS may be changed to have the same meaning as in FIG. 3B.

Referring to Figure 3b, the multi-function button of the DSS is a numeric command button (300 to 309), * command button 310, # command button 311, IP address input command button 312, subnet mask from 0 to 9 The input command button 313, the gateway input command button 314, and the gatekeeper input command button 315 may be converted into a button having a meaning.

For example, one button of the DSS multifunction button is 1 (300), 13 buttons are 2 (301), 25 buttons are 3 (302), 2 buttons are 4 (303), 14 buttons are 5 (304), 26 Button 6 (305), Button 3 7 (306), Button 15 8 (307), Button 27 9 (308), Button 4 * Command button 310, Button 16 0 (309), 28 Button is # command button 311, 37 button is IP address input command button 312, 38 button is subnet mask input command button 313, 39 button is gateway input command button 314, 40 button is gatekeeper input The meaning may be converted to the command button 315.

The user may set the network by using the button whose meaning is converted as described above. For example, if the user wants to input an IP address, the user may first select an IP address input command button 312 and then select each button corresponding to the IP address in order to set the IP address.

4 is a diagram illustrating a method of setting up a network using DSS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the user is queried whether to switch to the network setting mode (S400).

If the user wants to switch to the network configuration mode, and receives a network configuration request command from the user (S410). The network setting request command is preset by a system developer or an administrator, and may select at least one of the multifunction buttons of the DSS. For example, the network setting request command may be the same as pressing 36 and 48 buttons simultaneously among the multi-function buttons.

When the network setup request command is received from the user, the DSS is supplied with power (S420). When the DSS is converted to the network configuration mode by performing step 420, the multifunction button of the DSS may be given the same meaning as in FIG. 3B (S430).

In this case, the button given the same meaning as in FIG. 3B may be displayed as a red light emitting diode. The user can set a network by operating a button indicated by the red light emitting diode. That is, when the network is set up by the user selecting at least one of the buttons, the user may receive network setting information from the user (S440). The network setting information may include at least one of IP address information, subnet mask information, gateway information, and gatekeeper information.

After storing the received network setting information (S450), a DSS restart command is received from the user (S460). The DSS restart command is set in advance and may select at least one of the multifunction buttons of the DSS. For example, it may be the same as selecting a button corresponding to 41 of the DSS multi-function buttons.

If the DSS is restarted in response to the DSS restart command received from the user, network setting may be completed (S470).

For example, let's look at the network setup when the IP address is 192.168.1.10, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the gateway is 192.168.1.1, and the gatekeeper is 192.168.1.2. Here, the network setup request command button is said to press 36 and 48 simultaneously, the IP address input command button 37, the subnet mask input command button 38, the gateway command input button 39, and the gate The keeper input command button may be 40. Also, 1 button is 1, 13 button is 2, 25 button is 3, 2 button is 4, 14 button is 5, 26 button is 6, 3 button is 7, 15 button is 8, 27 button is 9, 4 button is Assume that the *, 16 buttons have been changed to 0, and the 28 buttons have #.

When the user presses both the 36 and 48 buttons simultaneously, the DSS can be in network configuration mode at the same time that power is applied. When the DSS is operated in the network setting mode as described above, the above-described button may be displayed in red.

When the user wants to set an IP address, the user selects 37 buttons (ie, an IP address input command button) and sequentially selects buttons corresponding to '192 * 168 * 1 * 10'. Then select the # button, the IP address information is stored.

In addition, when the user wants to set a subnet mask, the user selects a 38 button (ie, a subnet mask input command button) and sequentially selects buttons corresponding to '255 * 255 * 255 * 0. Then select the # button, the subnet mask information is stored.

In addition, when the user wants to set the gateway, the user selects 39 buttons (ie, gateway input command buttons) and sequentially selects buttons corresponding to '192 * 168 * 1 * 1'. Then select the # button to save the gateway information.

In addition, when the user wants to set the gatekeeper, the user selects 40 buttons (gatekeeper input command buttons) and sequentially selects buttons corresponding to '192 * 168 * 1 * 2'. Then, select the # button, the gatekeeper information is stored.

When the IP address information, the subnet mask information, the gateway information, and the gatekeeper information are stored as described above, the user selects a button corresponding to 41. If the user selects a button corresponding to 41, DSS may be restarted and network setting may be completed.

If, as a result of step 400, the user does not want to switch to the network setting mode and use other additional functions, power is supplied to the DSS (S480).

Then, the additional function usage information that the user wants to use is received from the user (S490).

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

According to the present invention as described above, when setting the basic network of the DSS, it is possible to provide a network setting method using a DSS that can set the network using the multi-function button of the DSS without the help of other devices.
