Display system and method for status information of data equipment

Abstract

A display system of data device state information consists of state mode switching unit for generating state mode information , signal processing unit for generating state display command , port state display element with two display effects for displaying port state , port state display control unit for switching display effect according to state display command sent from signal processing unit . A displaying method is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a display technology of the operating state of a data device and its port, in particular to a display system and method for the state information of the data device. Background technique [0002] With the development of data communication technology, the types and quantities of data communication product ports are increasing, and the functions are becoming more and more complex. This requires data communication products to be able to display the operating status of the device to meet the needs of users for various functions and operating status of the device. View, monitor, maintain. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the display system for the status information of the current Ethernet switch. Such as figure 1 As shown, the display system includes a mode button 120, an A / L indicator light 130, a D / S indicator light 140, port status indicators 150 and 160 located on the front panel of the display system; a centra...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The current display system can only display a small amount of information such as port speed and port single / duplex status, and the displayed information is not comprehensive. Especially when the switch fails, users cannot judge the cause of the failure through the current operating status in time, which is not conducive to Operation and maintenance, which increases the maintenance cost of equipment;

[0007] Due to the increasing number and types of ports and the increasingly complex functions, the display system is required to display as many operating states of the equipment as possible. However, in the current display system, each indicator light can only display one state information, so The purpose of displaying more information can only be achieved by adding the number of indicator lights. However, with the increase in the number of LEDs (Light-emitting Diodes, light-emitting diodes), it will not only increase the manufacturing cost of the Ethernet switch, but may also increase the number of Ethernet switches. volume of

On the other hand, since the LED signal line is a high-frequency noise source in the Ethernet switch, the high-frequency noise on the LED signal line is brought out through the network port, and the increase in the number of LEDs will increase the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility, electromagnetic Compatibility) Design is difficult, and EMC cannot meet the standards required by communication equipment for EMC
