Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ISDN terminal adapter capable of connecting a terminal having no interface with an ISDN line to the ISDN line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when setting parameter values such as communication speed and synchronization method of an ISDN terminal adapter,
I went to the place where the ISDN terminal adapter is installed and set it. However, recently, an ISDN terminal adapter having a function of setting a parameter value of a remote ISDN terminal adapter through an ISDN line (hereinafter referred to as a remote configuration function) has been used.

[0003]

By the way, in ISDN terminal adapters that transmit and receive data to and from each other through an ISDN line, it is necessary to set the parameter values to be almost the same, and the difference is that there are several types of subaddresses and abbreviated numbers. Only the parameter value. However, in the above ISDN terminal adapter, each parameter value had to be set one by one. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to set many parameter values of the ISDN terminal adapter.

In consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention significantly reduces the time required for setting a large number of parameter values and minimizes the setting error.
The purpose is to provide a terminal adapter.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides all parameter values or subaddresses, abbreviated numbers, etc. of ISDN terminal adapters on the side of setting parameter values (hereinafter referred to as local side). Means for sending out all parameter values except the parameter values of. Further, the ISDN terminal adapter on the side where parameter values are set (hereinafter referred to as remote side) is provided with means for setting all remote side parameter values according to the received all local side parameter values.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the I side on the local side is realized by the above means.
The parameter value of the SDN terminal adapter and the parameter value of the ISDN terminal adapter on the remote side can be the same. If multiple parameter values to be set are set in the local ISDN terminal adapter, each parameter value in the remote ISDN terminal adapter will be almost set, and several types of parameters such as subaddress and abbreviated number will be set. Only the value needs to be set. Therefore, even when a large number of parameter values of the ISDN terminal adapter are set, the time required for the setting can be greatly reduced and the setting error can be minimized.

An ISDN communication control device that controls connection, data transmission / reception, and disconnection.

With respect to the ISDN terminal adapter of this embodiment constituted by the above-mentioned respective constituent elements, the relation and operation of the respective constituent elements will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4. FIG. 3 shows a connection state of an ISDN terminal adapter with an ISDN network and a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a personal computer). 31, 35 are personal computers, 32, 34
ISDN terminal adapter, 33 ISDN network, 3
6 is an RS232C cable and 37 is an ISDN line.

Normally, when data is transmitted from the personal computer 31 to the personal computer 35, a call is made from the personal computer 31 to the personal computer 35 and the line is connected before the data transmission. When the parameter value of the ISDN terminal adapter 34 is set from the personal computer 31 side, that is, when the parameter value of the remote ISDN terminal adapter is set by using the remote configuration function, the personal computer 31 calls the ISDN terminal adapter 34. At some times, the data indicating that the remote configuration mode is set is added to the calling data. With the ISDN terminal adapter 34,
When the incoming call is received, it is determined whether or not the data indicating the remote configuration mode is present, and the remote configuration mode or the normal communication mode is determined.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a series of processing relating to remote configuration. In step 1, it is determined whether or not an incoming call has been received. If there is an incoming call, proceed to step 21, otherwise, proceed to step 2.
Go ahead.

The processing on the calling side will be described below. In step 2, it is determined whether or not a call is made. If no call is made, the process returns to step 1 and if a call is made, the process proceeds to step 3. In step 3, line connection processing is performed, and the process proceeds to step 4. In step 4, it is judged whether or not the remote configuration mode is set. If it is not in the remote configuration mode, the process proceeds to normal communication processing, data transmission / reception and line disconnection are performed, and the process returns to step 1. In remote configuration mode, proceed to step 5. Step 5
Then, it is determined whether or not there is data input from the personal computer 31, and if there is input, the process proceeds to step 6. In step 6, it is determined whether or not the input data indicates the end of the remote configuration mode. If it is the end, the process proceeds to step 11, and if it is not the end, the process proceeds to step 7. In step 11, the remote configuration mode is released and the line is disconnected, and the process returns to step 1. In step 7, it is judged whether or not the input data designates transmission of all parameters. If designated, proceed to step 8; otherwise, proceed to step 9. In step 8, all parameter setting commands and all parameter values are set in the sending storage area, and the process proceeds to step 10. In step 9, the parameters and values designated by the input data are set in the sending storage area, and the process proceeds to step 10. In step 10, the data set in the transmission storage area is transmitted, and the process returns to step 1.

Next, the processing on the called side will be described. In step 21, line connection processing is performed, and the flow advances to step 22. In step 22, it is judged whether or not the data indicating the remote configuration mode is included in the incoming call data. If it is included, the process proceeds to step 23, and if it is not included, the process proceeds to the normal communication mode to transmit / receive the data and the line. Cut and return to step 1. Step 23
Then, it is determined whether or not there is received data, and the process proceeds to step 24 only when there is received data. In step 24, it is determined whether or not the received data indicates the end of the remote configuration mode. If it indicates the end, the process proceeds to step 11; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 25. In step 11, the remote configuration mode is released and the line is disconnected, and the process returns to step 1. In step 25, the received data is set in the received data analysis area, the received data is analyzed, and the process proceeds to step 26.
In step 26, it is determined whether or not the analyzed result is the parameter reception mode. If the parameter reception mode is the all parameters reception mode, the process proceeds to step 27. If the specified parameter is set, the process proceeds to step 28. In step 27, all parameter values of the ISDN terminal adapter 34 are set with the parameter values in the analyzed received data, and the process returns to step 23. In step 28, the parameter value of the designated ISDN terminal adapter 34 is set by the received parameter value, and the process returns to step 23.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the parameter value of the ISDN terminal adapter on the local side and the parameter value of the ISDN terminal adapter on the remote side can be made the same. If a plurality of parameter values to be set are set in the ISDN terminal adapter on the local side, each parameter value will be almost set by using the above invention on the ISDN terminal adapter on the remote side. It suffices to set only several types of parameter values such as.
