Gateway uplink mode switching method, gateway device and communication system

Abstract

The invention provides a gateway uplink mode switching method, gateway equipment and a communication system. The gateway uplink mode switching method comprises the following steps of: monitoring a gateway uplink chain in a first uplink mode, and acquiring a connecting state of the gateway uplink chain in the first uplink mode; and if acquiring that the connecting state is of an open-circuited state, switching the gateway uplink chain in the first uplink mode into a gateway uplink chain in a second uplink mode. According to the invention, the problem that two gateway equipment are not compatible in the prior art is solved, and the purpose of automatically switching one uplink mode into another uplink mode when the gateway uplink chain of the gateway equipment under the one uplink mode has the fault is achieved. As for a network operator, the gateway uplink mode switching method, the gateway equipment and the communication system can ensure that a network of the network operator can be installed more conveniently and rapidly. As for users who adopt two uplink modes simultaneously, the gateway uplink mode switching method, the gateway equipment and the communication system can ensure that the users can use another uplink mode to continuously use the network without the need of waiting the gateway uplink chain in the current uplink mode to restore to be normal from the fault.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a gateway uplink mode switching method, gateway equipment and a communication system. Background technique [0002] According to the different uplink modes of the gateway uplink, home gateways are mainly divided into ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line, asymmetrical digital subscriber line) uplink mode gateway and LAN (Local Area Network, local area network) uplink mode gateway. Due to the difference of the uplink ports, these two kinds of home gateways cannot be used in common use with each other. At present, the home gateways used by users are either ADSL uplink mode gateways or LAN uplink mode gateways. [0003] When the network operator installs the network, because these two gateway devices cannot be used in common, the network operator needs to accurately determine the quantity of these two gateways, and it is very easy to affect the network due to insufficien...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] When the network operator installs the network, because these two gateway devices cannot be used in common, the network operator needs to accurately determine the quantity of these two gateways, and it is very easy to affect the network due to insufficient purchase of ADSL uplink mode gateways or LAN uplink mode gateways. Problems with the installation progress

In addition, for those users who can use ADSL uplink mode and LAN uplink mode at the same time, because the home gateway used by the user can only be one of these two gateway devices, and these two gateway devices cannot be used in common, so when ADSL When the ADSL uplink fails, the gateway in uplink mode can only wait for recovery before continuing to surf the Internet; similarly, when the LAN uplink mode gateway fails, it can only wait for recovery before continuing to surf the Internet.
