Method and system for updating software version automatically

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for updating a software version automatically. The basic technical scheme is as follows: when determining the current software version information of customer premise equipment (CPE) is inconsistent with the pre-stored software version information, local side network element equipment sends a software version updating operation request and a pre-stored software version to the CPE; and the CPE updates the software version according to the software version updating operation request and the software version which are sent by the local side network element equipment. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the automatic software version updating of the CPE is realized on the basis of the local side network element equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a telecommunication equipment management system, in particular to a method and system for automatically updating software versions. Background technique [0002] In the current telecommunications equipment management system, the functions of customer premises equipment (CPE, Customer Premises Equipment) are relatively complex. Generally, CPE itself has its own operating system and working software on which to run. The working software of CPE is called CPE software. Version. With the continuous improvement of CPE functions, general CPE can support remote software version update; with the continuous improvement of CPE business functions, the software version of CPE also needs to be continuously updated to meet customer business needs. [0003] In the existing technical means, the software version of the CPE is generally updated manually or automatically updated based on an Element Management System (EMS, Element Management Syste...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The defect of the first method is: in actual application, when there are a large number of CPEs that need to update the software version, the manual software version update needs to be manually selected for each CPE, so the work efficiency is low; in addition , because the software version of the CPE is usually updated at night, so it is necessary to manually update the software version of the CPE at a certain time at night, which will inevitably consume a lot of manpower

The defect of the second method is: when the software version of the CPE is automatically updated based on the EMS, the update operation of the EMS judges whether to start the automatic update according to whether the message of the network element device at the central office is received, because the EMS and the network element at the central office Messages are transmitted between devices through the SNMP interface and the network, so it cannot be guaranteed that the EMS can receive the messages from the network element devices at the central office in real time, which will affect the stability of the automatic update operation and reduce the efficiency; in addition, if the EMS server is closed or Restarting does not guarantee the normal operation of automatically updating the software version of the CPE based on EMS, which affects efficiency; moreover, since the EMS server must continuously process the messages sent by the online CPE, the method of automatically updating the software version of the CPE based on EMS will inevitably consume EMS server resources affect efficiency and reduce performance; if there is a power outage in a certain area, when power is restored, a large number of CPE messages will be reported to the EMS server at the same time, and the server's processing will become a bottleneck
