In order to achieve the above object, the formalized method for drawing the equipment in the integrated network management system according to the present invention comprises: a first step of determining whether the same mounting function has been performed before selecting the equipment to be shown;

A second step of reading and parsing device information from a graphic context and a profile of a selected device in the case of a new performance according to the determination result of the first step;

A third step of generating a shell window and a picture area after the execution of the second step is completed and the initialization of the data information is performed;

After the execution of the third step is completed and the processing routine for window update is registered, periodically register the indicator, stop the predetermined script, initialize the information of the equipment, set the address information of the equipment and then initialize the script. Performing a fourth step;

A fifth step of registering a timer for requesting equipment information after loading the base image in the picture area when the execution of the fourth step is completed, and determining whether the timer period has expired;

After determining whether there is an end request according to the determination result of the fifth step, or after performing an initialization and data format generation operation for communication, parsing the received information to perform color coding according to the indicator, and then determining whether there is an end request. Characterized in that the sixth step of performing the operation accordingly.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary view briefly showing a configuration for applying the present invention, in order to provide a mounting diagram function of various equipment, as shown in the mounting diagram configuration file for each type of equipment is stored, mounting diagram configuration The file has 'dev' as extension, and the specific implementation registers the configuration file information in the topology configuration file according to the device type of each node managed in the topology map of the network management system.

Then, since the nodes are initially shown with their own information when they are loaded on the map topology screen, the nodes are read by the configuration file by performing a function by a standardized method.

That is, the configuration file for each device type has a '.dev' extension and the following information.

The first script specification describes the script file name that defines the panel configuration of the device and the script file name to update the LED city information of the device by polling the device periodically. Equipment type.int.snmp 'and' device type.poll.snmp '.

The second configuration file (LED State Colors) defines the script file. The following lines define the LED state type and color. One color is defined for each line and is indicated by the '%' special character.

The third configuration file (LED State Image Masks) defines an image file to be masked at a specific LED position of the device on a line-by-line basis. The end of the image mask information is indicated by a% character and has a sequence number for each line.

The fourth configuration file (Panel Specification) defines the background image information of the panel and various card and LED location information. Each information set is separated by% character, and one information set is the card image information, LED location information and LED. It consists of kind information.

The fifth configuration file (Device Panel Script) is defined as the script file name in the 'dev' file. It consists of an init script and a poll script. The init script is called only once, and the poll script is called periodically to update its status. do.

Also, the function specified in the init script above includes:

SET_PANEL loads the desktop with the type and location information of the background image. INITALIZE_PANELS initializes all the screens, launches a new init script, and SET_INDICATOR_STATE shows the status information of a specific elite on a particular panel.
