Description

Message processing method of T.M.N agency connected with M.S.B.block of M.M.S in electronic exchange

The present invention relates to a telecommunications management network (hereinafter referred to as "TMN") of the electronic switchboard, in particular the TMN management system and M.M.S (Man-Machine Subsystem: Hereinafter, the present invention relates to a method of interworking with a window management and command analysis (MC) block of "MMS".

Typically, the TMN manager system is a system that integrates and manages various exchanges with different non-standardized interfaces. The standardized interface established by the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Has Thus, the TMN manager system must interoperate with the non-standardized management system of each exchange. Accordingly, the conventional exchange includes the TMN manager system and a data communication network outside the exchange as shown in FIG. 1 for interworking with the non-standardized management system of each exchange and the TMN manager system having a standardized interface. It connects to a separate workstation connected by DCN) and performs the function of TMN agency.

However, since the TMN agent of the conventional TMN manager system is implemented as an external type in the exchanger as shown in FIG. 1, there are many problems in the interface and operation of the entire electronic exchange.

For example, if the TMN agency is to be duplicated, such as a conventional exchanger having a redundant structure, it is difficult to physically manage two workstations separately by connecting two workstations to the outside of the exchanger. There were problems such as getting bigger.

As described above, the conventional TMN manager system has a lot of problems in the interface and operation made in the whole electronic exchange because it is implemented externally in the exchange as shown in FIG. For example, if a TMN agency is to be duplicated, such as a conventional exchanger having a redundant structure, it is difficult to physically manage two workstations by connecting two workstations externally to the exchanger. There were problems such as getting bigger.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a message processing method of a TMN agent unit interworking with an MC block of an MMS in an all-electron exchanger having a TMN agent unit as an internal module in order to solve the problems of the interface and the operation made in the entire electronic switch unit. Is in.

Figure 2 is a message processing flow diagram of the TMN agent interworking with the MC block of the MMS in the electronic switch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention for achieving the above object is provided with a TMN agency, which is connected to the outside as a workstation in the conventional electronic switchboard as an internal module as one processor to be interlocked with the switch body and IPC communication, the main body of the electronic switchboard It is driven through the loading from and characterized in that it is operated in conjunction with the command analysis unit of the MMS in the electronic switchboard.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description and in the accompanying drawings to provide a more general understanding of the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. And a detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram of a TMN agent and a human-machine interface (HMI) operating system implemented as an internal module as a processor in an electronic switch according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a block configuration of an HMI operating system that performs management and operation of an electronic switchgear first, the HMI operating system may be referred to as a module that substantially controls the switch and is an HMI client part that supports a graphic user interface. It consists of a Local Console 134 and an HMI Server 132. The HMI server unit 132 is composed of an IPC server 122 and an MMS 124 that distribute switch MMC (Man-Machine Communication) commands and manage the local console 134. The MMS 124 includes commands Syntax & Semantic. Command management unit (126), which executes commands with an exchanger, and an execution control unit (EC) 128 for executing commands with the exchanger, and an MMC command and exchanger. Output control unit (Output Control: OC) 130 for controlling the output of the status message.

Next, looking at the block configuration of the TMN manager system 100, the TMN manager system 100 is composed of a TMN graphical user interface unit 102, TMN-based management unit 104 and TMN agent 108. The TMN agency 108 includes a TMN-based management agency 110, a configuration management matching unit 112, a failure management matching unit 114, a traffic management matching unit 116, and a performance management matching unit 118. . It also has a TMN-based management agency 110, which can be referred to as a practical OMP (Operations and Maintenance Processor) to control the exchange from a standardized perspective. At this time, the command given by the TMN-based management unit 104 is transmitted to the TMN agent 108 using the Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) protocol. The TMN agent 108 receiving the command is transmitted from the TMN-based management unit 104. Convert the output CMIP message into the internal message form of the TMN agent 108 and transmits it to the MC 126 block of the MMS 124 through the IPC server 122, and also the MC 126 of the MMS 124. The internal message received in response to the block is converted into a CMIP message and transmitted to the TMN-based management unit 104 through a data communication network (DCN) 106.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an interworking process between an MC block of an MMS and a TMN agent in an all-electronic exchange having a TMN agent as an internal module, as shown in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, as the TMN agent 108 is now provided as an internal module of the electronic switchboard, when the system power of the electronic switchboard 136 is "on", like the other processors, the electronic switchboard 136 in step 200 is performed. A loading block of (not shown) is driven by loading a program for driving the TMN agent 108 from a disk. The TMN agent 108 reads the system information of the various exchanges 136 from the MC 126 block of the MMS 124 through communication with the main body of the exchange 136 in step 202. In the above, the MMS 124 of the exchange 136 allocates one of 16 ports and four virtual ports as a port for the TMN to unconditionally distribute all messages coming out of the remaining ports to the TMN agent 108. The exchange 136 system information means the messages. Then, the TMN agent 108 proceeds to step 204 and converts the information into a CMIP message and transmits the information to the TMN-based management unit 104, and proceeds to step 206 and the TMN-based management unit of the TMN manager system 100 ( It is checked from 104) whether a request for specific information occurs. At this time, if a message requesting specific information is received, the TMN agent 108 proceeds to step 208 and converts it to an internal message form of the TMN agent 108 to block the MC 124 of the MMS 124. To send. Accordingly, the MC 124 block of the MMS 124 performs an operation on the specific information request message transmitted from the TMN agent 108 and transmits the response message back to the TMN agent 108. Accordingly, the TMN agent 108 receives the response message in step 210, converts the response message into a CMIP message form in step 212, and transmits the response message to the TMN-based management unit 104. Returning to the step, the switch 136 receives system information from the MC 126 block of the MMS 124, and repeats steps 202 to 212.

As described above, according to the present invention, the TMN agent is interlocked with the MC block of the MMS and is implemented as a single processor in the exchange, so that the maintenance of the exchange is improved because the TMN agent is managed like other processors of the exchange integrally with the exchange. .
