Method for maintaining communication apparatus

Abstract

The disclosed maintenance method for communication device comprises: generating the operation command set file as pre-set format for maintenance as pure text; loading the file into the communication device; when up to the time pre-set by the command file, analyzing the file to execute the operation command one by one. This invention can save cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method for maintaining communication equipment. Background technique [0002] With the increasingly intensified competition in the communication field, both communication equipment manufacturers and communication operators want to reduce equipment manufacturing and operating costs. For communication operators, manual maintenance of communication equipment undoubtedly consumes a lot of cost. In addition, the operation of communication equipment has A more obvious feature is that the business volume of the equipment is different at different time periods. Generally speaking, the business volume will be relatively large in the daytime and evening hours, and the business volume in the midnight and early morning hours is the smallest. Therefore, equipment operators prefer to use communication equipment Maintenance operations, such as device consistency checks, device error status c...

Problems solved by technology

[0002]With the increasingly intensified competition in the communication field, communication equipment manufacturers and communication operators want to reduce equipment manufacturing and operating costs. For communication operators, manual maintenance Communication equipment undoubtedly consumes a lot of cost. In addition, the operation of communication equipment has a relatively obvious feature, that is, the business volume of the equipment is different at different time periods. The business volume is the smallest, so equipment operators are more inclined to perform maintenance operations on communication equipment, such as equipment consistency checks, device error status cleaning, etc., in midnight and early morning to avoid maintenance operations. The business is adversely affected. However, the maintenance personnel are generally off work at midnight, and the communication equipment cannot automatically initiate and complete the corresponding maintenance operations.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a solution in the prior art is that the communication device formats some system status and event information during operation into fixed-format text information, and then transmits it to the system log through the Syslog protocol. Relay (Syslog Relay) or system log server (SyslogServer), Syslog Server stores the information transmitted from the communication equipment, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically collecting equipment operation information and reduce the cost of manual maintenance of communication equipment, but Syslog log collection The information is the status and event information actively reported by the communication device. Therefore, the Syslog solution can complete the query of device status and events, but some maintenance operations or configuration operations cannot be completed. For example, data storage cannot be completed through the Syslog solution.

[0004] There is also a technical solution in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, third-party operation and maintenance software is developed based on the user interface provided by the communication device. The user interface is such as a command line, Simple Network Management Protocol (Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP) network management, etc., third-party software converts user maintenance instructions and operating rules into device user interfaces, such as command line commands, SNMP messages, etc., and sends them to communication devices, thereby automatically completing maintenance operations on communication devices. This solution requires the development of third-party software, which increases operating costs, especially for the operation and maintenance costs of remote and terminal communication equipment.
