Abstract

The present invention relates to a front panel for networking practice of schools and other educational institutions, and connects a network equipment port and a rear part of the front panel with a cable, and forms a cable insert at the front panel of the front panel, thereby directly consoles the network equipment. The present invention relates to a front panel that can indirectly connect a console cable and a serial cable to a front panel without connecting a cable and a serial cable.

The present invention configured as described above reduces the failure rate of the console and the serial port due to the continuous use of the network equipment for training, the longer the life of the training network equipment, as well as the cost savings.

Front panel for port protection of network equipment {A FRONT PANEL FOR PROTECTING NETWORK EQUIPMENT PORT}

The present invention relates to a front panel installed for protecting a port of a network training equipment, and connects a network equipment and a rear part of the front panel by a cable, and forms a cable inserting part in the front panel of the front panel, so that the console cable and The present invention relates to a front panel that can protect ports of equipment by indirectly connecting a console cable and a serial cable to the front panel without connecting a serial cable.

It is a panel that connects the cable jack to the console port and serial communication port of the separately manufactured front panel without connecting the console cable and serial communication cable directly to the network equipment.

In general, a network switch hub and a router are installed in a separate rack for a network training, and then the training is performed.

In order to practice communication using network switch hubs and routers, the practitioner connects a dedicated cable to the console port or serial port of the switch hub and router, and the number of times of attaching and detaching a cable to the port increases. Frequently, problems such as a lot of port errors or a need to repair a port occur frequently.

To solve this problem, install a separate transparent acrylic panel on the front of the network equipment, but connect the console port and serial port of the network switch hub and router with the same type of port and cable on the rear panel of the separately manufactured panel. At the same time, by forming the same type of port on the front panel, if the user directly connects to the panel manufactured indirectly without directly connecting the network cable to the equipment, the port failure rate of the network equipment can be reduced.

The present invention was devised to solve the high failure rate due to the frequent use of the port of the network equipment. It is connected to a port made of a separate panel board without directly connecting the console cable and the serial cable to the network equipment, The aim is to reduce equipment replacement rates.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention manufactures a front panel with a separate transparent acrylic plate and connects the console and serial cable of the network equipment to the rear part of the manufactured panel, and then the practitioner (operator) directly equips the equipment. We want to reduce the port failure rate of the equipment by eliminating the plugging and unplugging operation and connecting the cable to the front panel.

In fact, the equipment for network practice is often more difficult to use due to a large number of failures in the port portion where the cables are physically connected rather than the failure due to old use.

In addition, the price of equipment is often imported, so that a very expensive product is used. Since it is an imported product, after-sales service is not easily possible, and even if it is possible, the time limit is long, which causes considerable difficulty in practice.

In order to solve this problem, a separate adapter may be used to connect the network device and the computer. In the case of the adapter, it is difficult to protect the port of the device by directly connecting and removing the cable to the device. The adapter is a small device and the loss rate is very high, which causes additional problems.

Therefore, as in the present invention, it is installed in the front of the network equipment or in a separate location. If you make a separate panel that is directly connected to the equipment by cable and perform cable detachment only on the port of the panel, you can reduce the failure rate such as the port being loose because the human hands do not directly touch the equipment.

In addition, if a separate panel is manufactured to make a connection port, even if a defect occurs in the port, only the port part in the panel part needs to be replaced, resulting in a very low management cost and trouble shooting.

The present invention produces a separate panel containing the port configuration of the network equipment, such as switch hub or router equipment for network practice, by eliminating the act of directly connecting and disconnecting cables to the ports of the equipment, There is a remarkable effect of reducing the failure rate of the equipment by eliminating port defects that account for most of the equipment failure.

In addition, even if a failure occurs, only the port of the panel needs to be replaced, so it is easy to reduce and manage operating costs for equipment operation, and it can also solve the difficulty of practice due to equipment failure.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and the scope does not depart from the technical gist of the present invention. Various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within.

1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention, which shows network equipment such as a switch hub or a router, a front panel, and a computer.
Form a front panel of a transparent acrylic material including the configuration of the port 100 of the switch hub or router, the connection between the port 100 and the back of the panel corresponding to the port of the same type with an extension cable, The practice cable of the computer is connected to the same type of port formed on the front of the panel to which the extension cable is connected, that is, the expansion console port 101 or the expansion serial communication port 102.

2 is an example in which the console port is disposed at the front and at the rear of the network device because of the characteristics of each network device, the cable port between the panel and the device can be easily connected at the rear or the front by only changing the cable length between the panel and the device.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a form in which a regular training equipment is mounted on a rack and a practice is performed by fixing a panel according to a screw groove of a rack on a equipment installed in the rack as shown in the figure.

1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention, a diagram showing an example of connecting to a cable by making a panel on the front of the network switch hub or router.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a console port and a serial port are located at a rear side or a front side depending on a network switch hub and a router, and thus connecting network equipment and a panel in both cases.

Figure 3 shows the type installed and operating in the rack.
