Method and system for batch online recovery and software online upgrading

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for batch online recovery and software online upgrading. The system includes a centralized control device and a plurality of remote devices connected through an RS 485 bus; the centralized control device generates upgraded mirror image documents with different device types and different software editions through processing an upgraded software encoding format, issues a software online upgrading command and a data frame of through a communication protocol, and controls the online upgrading process of all remote devices; the centralized control device recovers the software of the remote device to a previous edition through directly issuing the software online recovery command. The remote device automatically completes the software downloading, detection, storage, verification, backup and update processes and is not influenced by power down; the remote device is failed in upgrading, and still able to automatically recover the original edition software and recover the device working state to maintain the normal running; through obtaining the edition information of all devices, the centralized control device judges if the upgrading is successful or not. The method and the system can realize the batch upgrading and recovery on the software of a plurality of remote devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication control, in particular to a method and system capable of batch software online recovery and software online upgrade. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of the communication industry has led to a wide variety of application scenarios and complexity. Equipment maintenance and replacement costs are rising steadily, which puts high demands on background operations. Therefore, it is particularly important to realize program updating and maintenance of remote communication equipment through remote upgrading. [0003] There are application scenarios for remote deployment and batch deployment of equipment in the communication industry. For example, a steel tower erected in the wilderness will have multiple antenna control devices installed on it at the same time. The traditional upgrade must go to the bottom of the tower, or even climb to the tower, and then use special tools to u...

Problems solved by technology

However, the above-mentioned remote upgrade method still has great disadvantages. For example, it must be upgraded one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. Once the upgrade fails, the program cannot be restored and run, and it must be upgraded through the traditional upgrade method.
