Abstract

PURPOSE: An address allocating method using MMC(Man Machine Communication) in an exchange having a LAN(Local Area Network) apparatus is provided to allocate an address to the LAN apparatus by using a key set telephone. CONSTITUTION: A control unit checks over whether an MMC signal for allocating an MMC address is inputted from the key set in an MMC mode(201). When the MMC signal for allocating the MMC address is inputted, the control unit transmits a signal for requesting an address and an initial value of the address to the key set(207). When an address is inputted from the key set in response to the address input request, the address is stored to a memory(211). Thereafter, the address is allocated to the LAN apparatus(213).

Description

METHODS FOR INPUTTING MAC ADDRESS USING MMC IN KEY PHONE SYSTEM HAVING A LAN DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a key phone or private switching system having a local area network device, and more particularly to a method for setting an address in the local area network device.

Currently, the administrator is provided with a local area network (hereinafter referred to as "LAN") device in a key phone system or a private exchange system (hereinafter referred to as "exchange" collectively referred to as the key phone system and private exchange system). It is possible to carry out maintenance and repair of the exchanger. In order for the administrator to manage the exchange online through the LAN device of the exchange, the LAN device sets an Internet Protocol (hereinafter referred to as "IP") address and a Media Access Control (hereinafter referred to as "MAC") address. Should be doing.

A computer must be used to set an IP address and a MAC address in the LAN device mounted at the exchange. That is, in order to set an IP address and a MAC address in the LAN device, the switch and the computer must be connected. In order to connect the exchanger and the computer, the exchanger has a serial input out (hereinafter referred to as "SIO") and is connected to the computer through the SIO.

As described above, in order to set an address in a LAN device mounted in the exchanger, an ISO interface unit must be provided inside the exchanger, and a separate external device, that is, a computer, must be used, which causes a lot of time and increases in manufacturing cost. .

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an address setting method using M-M C in an exchange having a local area network device capable of setting an address in the local area network device using a keyset telephone in an exchange having a local area network device.

The present invention to achieve the above object; In the address setting method using MMC in an exchange having a local area network device, a process of checking whether an MCM signal for MMB address setting is input from a keyset in an MMC mode. And outputting a signal for requesting input of an address initial value and an address to the keyset when the M / M signal for setting the M / M address is input, and in response to the address input request, When an address is input from a keyset, the method includes storing the address in a memory, and setting the address in the local area network device after storing the address.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a key phone system applied to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for inputting an address into the local area network device using MMC in a keyphone system having a local area network device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

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

First, in adding the reference numerals to the components of each drawing, the same components have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. In describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an exchange system to which the present invention is applied. Hereinafter, the configuration of an exchange system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 100 is an exchange, 130 is a keyset, and 140 is a computer. Since the computer 140 is not used in the present invention, only the connection relationship is shown in FIG. 1, and functions and operations related to the computer 140 will not be described.

The keyset 130 includes a plurality of numeric keys and function keys, and is connected to the switch 100 through a voice line and a control line. In FIG. 1, only one keyset 130 is shown for convenience of description, but a plurality of keysets 130 are connected. The switch 100 includes a control unit 101, a switching unit 109, a subscriber unit 103, and a LAN device 110. The subscriber section 103 processes the signals input to / from the connected keysets 103. The switching unit 109 switches the signals input from the other exchange or from the subscriber unit 103 and outputs the signals to the subscriber unit 103 or the other exchange. The control unit 101 includes a memory including a ROM for storing a program for controlling the operation of the exchange 100 and a RAM for storing data generated during the operation, and the exchange 100 Control the overall operation of the control panel). The LAN device 110 includes a LAN controller 111 that controls the overall operation of the LAN device 110 and a port 113 for connecting with another LAN network or the Internet network. The LAN controller 111 must set an IP address and a MAC address in order to connect with another network. The LAN device 110 may not include the LAN controller 111. In this case, the controller 101 should set an IP address and a MAC address. The port 113 is an RJ-45 port.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for inputting an address into the local area network device using MMC in a key phone system having a local area network device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an operation according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The controller 101 checks whether a code for entering the MMC mode is input from the keyset 130 through the subscriber unit 103 in step 201. When a code for entering the MMC mode is input in step 201, the controller 101 displays MMC menu item information on the keyset 130 from memory in step 203. If the keyset 130 does not have a display it will be ignored. After the transmission of the MMC menu item, the controller 101 determines whether an address setting MMC is input in step 205. As in the above example, when the keyset 130 does not have a display device, the administrator must input a code for setting the address by a combination of the keys of the keyset. When the administrator selects a code or menu for address setting through the keyset 130, the controller 101 receives a signal corresponding to a code or menu for address setting through the subscriber unit 103 in step 205. Proceed to step. In step 207, the control unit 101 transmits to the keyset 130 a signal requesting to input the initial values of the IP address and the MAC address and the IP address and the MAC address. The keyset 130 receiving the initial value and the input request of the IP address and the MAC address is displayed as shown in Table 1 below when the display device has a display device.

ENTER IP ADDRESS & MAC ADDRESSIP: 00-00-00-00: _ MAC: 00-00-00-00:

The controller 101 checks whether an address is input from the keyset 130 in step 209 after the request for input of the address. When the keyset 130 inputs the IP address and the MAC address in response to the request, the controller 101 proceeds to step 211 and receives the input IP address and the MAC address through the subscriber unit 103 and then stores them in the memory. Save it. After storing the IP address and the MAC address, the controller 101 stores the IP address and the MAC address in the IP address register and the MAC address register of the LAN apparatus 110 to set the IP address and the MAC address. However, as shown in FIG. 1, when the LAN apparatus 110 has the LAN controller 111, the controller 101 outputs the input IP address and MAC address to the LAN controller 111. The LAN controller 111 then stores the IP address and the MAC address in the IP address register and the MAC address register, respectively, to set addresses for online management.

As described above, the present invention can save time and money by setting an IP address and a MAC address through a keyset without connecting an external device such as a computer.
