Description

Method of Reflecting Operational Results of HM of Communication Management Network Using Local Management of Asynchronous Transfer Mode Switch

The present invention relates to a method of interworking a human-machine interface (HMI) operating system and a telecommunications management network (TMN) operating system, which is an operation system of an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) exchange, and in particular, the results of the HMI system to a TMN-based management system. It is about how to reflect.

In general, HMI operating systems share the same non-standardized interface. Therefore, the transition to a standardized management system necessarily requires interoperation with non-standardized management systems. As shown in the example of FIG. 1, in the current operating system, there is a non-standardized operating system including an HMI operating system HMI server 101 and an HMI client 113 (or HMI GUI). As described above, in the non-standard operating system environment, the method of applying the TMN-based management system 112, which is a standardized operating system, is usually a proxy management structure using an existing MHI management system. Accordingly, the TMN-based management system 112 necessarily uses the services of the HMI operating system to control the ATM switch, which is the actual managed system. However, in the related art, the result message of the HMI operating system is not properly reflected in the TMN-based management system 112, and thus it is impossible to accurately reflect and operate the exchange. In addition, the operation results of the system between the operators performed locally in each regional country may not be reflected in the TMN-based management system 112 in the NMC of the network operator, and thus may not properly reflect the state of the system. Defining the structure of the system that actually allows for reflection is something that has never been before. It is therefore essential to provide a practical solution for this.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of properly reflecting the result message of the HMI operating system by local management for interworking between the two systems according to the influence of standardization of the independent HMI operating system and TMN management system.

Therefore, a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The present invention is a method of using the local management unit 201 by connecting the management unit 201 to the system 119, communication network-based management agency 114 of the communication network agent 101 to reflect the result message of the HMI operating system. While having the same function as that of the local manager 201, the local manager 201 performs the same function as the HMI client 113 or the TMN-based manager 112 in terms of functionality. In FIG. 2, for the HMI using the local manager 201, there is an HMI system that is a local console that manages and operates an ATM switch. The HMI system as the local console is composed of an HMI server 102 and an HMI client 113. The HMI client unit 113 may be regarded as a GUI system, and the HMI system may be referred to as a module that substantially controls the exchanger. The HMI server system 102 distributes the switch MMC command and performs a command with the switch, a server matching unit 121 in charge of managing the HMI client unit 113, a command analysis unit 122 for analyzing command syntax & semantic, and a switch. There is a command execution unit 123 in charge. In addition, there are first and second output controllers 124 and 125 that output control MMC commands and status messages of the exchange. According to a function of the first and second output controllers 124 and 125, the first output controller 124 controls the output of the MMC, and the second output controller 125 has switch state message output control. The TMN-based management unit 112 is connected to the TMN graphical user interface unit 111 for the operator and the TMN agency 101 for network operation management, there are a number of modules inside the TMN agency 101. Inside the TMN agent 101, TMN-based management agent 114 of the various modules 114 may be referred to as the actual OMP (Operations and Maintenance Processor) to control the exchange from a standardized perspective. The TMN-based management unit 112 Command is transmitted to the TMN agent system 101 using the CMIP protocol. The TMN agent system 101 receiving the command performs an appropriate Management Instance Tree (MIT) / Management Information Base (MITB) operation for each m-operation issued by each TMN-based management unit 112 and, if necessary, the HMI server. Through 102, it uses man-machine communication (MMC), which is an operation command of an ATM switch. In this case, a connection interface between the TMN agent 101 and the HMI server 102 is called a CASS (Connector for Agent and ATM Switching System) 118, and the CASS 118 performs a message conversion function. 2 refers to a client process for the HMI server 102 connection function and a processor for processing a response message. Looking at the overall flow of the HMI results using the local management unit 201 shown in FIG. The TMN-based agent 114 receiving the command performs an appropriate Management Megt Instance Tree (MIT) / Management Information Base (MIB) operation for each m-operation issued by each TMN agent 101, and, if necessary, HMI The server 102 uses man-machine communication (MMC), which is an operation command of an ATM switch. At this time, since the TMN agent 101 operates as an HMI client 113 when using the HMI service, all HMI commands issued by the TMN agent 101 are assigned a TMN client ID.

In contrast, the transmitted command is also assigned a client ID. That is, every HMI client 113 has its own unique identifier (client id), and the client ID is included in every command issued by it. Therefore, the reflection of the MMC result message transmitted by the HMI client 113 is transmitted to the local management unit 201 through a system module in the CASS (Connector for Agent and ATM Switching System) (118). The CASS 118 may identify a classification between a command issued by the CASS 118 and a command generated in another system through a client ID. 3 illustrates a flow performed by the process of the CASS 118. (3a) responds to the command and analyzes the message. (3b) extracts and analyzes the client ID, and if it is not the client ID, it performs the normal routine in the TMN client and (3e) process in (3d). If it is not the client ID, check whether the command of the range is reflected through the transfer of the HMI client of step (3f) and the system of step (3g), and when it is applicable, generate the TMN GUI command in step (3i) and (3j). Transfer from local to

Local management unit 201 received the message from the system reflects this to the TMN agency 101 through the appropriate CMIP operation. In the TMN agency 101 system, it is possible to distinguish between the normal manager and the local manager 201 that generated the CMIP operation. In other words, the local management unit 201 gives identification values of all MOs used by the local management unit 201 so as to distinguish them in the TMN agency 101. Therefore, the overall flow as shown in FIG. Receive the graphic user interface command in the process (4a), execute the CMIP command using the specific management element RDN in the process (4b), implement it in the process (4c) and (4d), and send it to the CMIP. Check whether the TMN agent 101 receives. The TMN agent 101 performs the routine of the normal TMN based management unit 112 as it is. However, in the case of a reflection message of another HMI command, the message does not need to be sent down the HMI MMC command. Control is required. The necessary flow is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the M-operation is received in step 5a to analyze the RDN of the management element R1 in step 5b, and check whether the command is from the local manager 201 in step 5c. In case of the corresponding instruction, MIT / MIB processing is performed in (5d), and MIT / MIB processing is performed in (5e), and if it is necessary, check whether it is necessary to transfer HMI instruction in (5f) (5g). In the process, HMI MMC process is used to execute process (5i). If not, process (5i) is also executed, and the response / instruction is transmitted to the TMN-based manager.

As described above, according to the influence of standardization of the independent HMI operating system and the TMN management system, there is an advantage that the result message of the HMI operating system can be properly reflected by local management for interworking between the two systems.
