The invention discloses a telecommunication equipment upgrading and maintenance method for a telecommunication network
transmission system. The method comprises the following steps of: A10, designing functional instruction sets of each piece of telecommunication equipment to form protocols by using an
extensible markup language (
XML) according to the functions of the telecommunication network
transmission system respectively, and designing corresponding
software for realizing corresponding functional instructions in the protocols on each piece of equipment according to the protocols; A20, saving corresponding protocols and
software supported by the telecommunication equipment on the telecommunication equipment; A30, setting a
synchronizer at a
server in the telecommunication network
transmission system, acquiring the functional instruction sets and the
software on each piece of controlled telecommunication equipment according to the instructions of the
synchronizer, and updating the
server; and A40, selecting a proper opportunity, and upgrading the software of the corresponding telecommunication equipment by utilizing the instruction sets and the software obtained by the step A30. In the method, a
network management system can automatically discover incompatible or temporarily unsupported telecommunication equipment, acquire related resources from the telecommunication equipment and
upgrade own
instruction set, thereby supporting the management of newly added telecommunication equipment.
