[0028] Example

[0029] A detection system for SDN terminal devices is provided for detecting SDN terminal devices, i.e., SDN gateways. The SDN terminal devices are equipped with system upgrade interfaces, optical ports, electrical ports, voice ports, and controller interfaces.

[0030] Corresponding to the functions of the SDN terminal equipment, the detection system includes a detection device and a remote server 7. The detection device includes a housing 24 and a system upgrade component, an optical port detection component 1, an electrical port detection component 2, an SDN analog control component 3, a voice port detection component 4, and a main controller 5, all housed within the housing 24. The system upgrade component is connected to the system upgrade interface, the optical port detection component 1 is connected to the optical port, the electrical port detection component 2 is connected to the electrical port, the SDN analog control component 3 is connected to the controller interface, and the voice port detection component 4 is connected to the voice port. The system upgrade component, the optical port detection component 1, the electrical port detection component 2, the SDN analog control component 3, and the voice port detection component 4 are all connected to the main controller 5. The main controller 5 is connected to the remote server 7, and the detection information acquired by the main controller 5 is stored in the remote server 7 in real time.

[0031] Specifically, the SDN analog control component 3 includes an SDN control output unit 23 and an SDN controller wiring 16. One end of the SDN controller wiring 16 is connected to the SDN control output unit 23, and the other end is connected to the controller interface. The SDN control output unit 23 simulates the output signal of the SDN controller and outputs it to the SDN terminal equipment through the SDN controller wiring 16, thereby realizing the simulated operation of the SDN controller.

[0032] Specifically, the system upgrade component includes a version upgrade cable 18, a version processor 21 for determining the system version of the SDN terminal device, and a first memory 20 for storing system files. The two ends of the version upgrade cable 18 are connected to the system upgrade interface and the version processor 21, respectively. The latest system files are stored in the remote server 7, and the main controller 5 transmits the system files in the remote server 7 to the first memory 20.

[0033] When the version processor 21 detects that the system version of the SDN terminal device is lower than the system version in the first memory 20, it writes the system version from the first memory 20 to the SDN terminal device. The main controller 5 sends the latest system file stored in the remote server 7 to the first memory 20.

[0034] Specifically, the optical port detection component 1 includes an optical port conversion cable 14, an optical port processor 12, and a second memory 11 for storing standard optical port data.

The input end of the electrical port conversion cable 15 is connected to the electrical port, and the output end of the electrical port conversion cable 15 and the third memory 10 are respectively connected to the electrical port processor 13.

[0035] Optical port conversion cable 14 acquires optical port data and transmits it to optical port processor 12. Optical port processor 12 compares the data with standard optical port data in the second memory 11 and obtains optical port fault information, which is then sent to the main controller. Electrical port conversion cable 15 acquires electrical port data and transmits it to electrical port processor 13. Electrical port processor 13 compares the data with standard electrical port data in the third memory 101 and obtains electrical port fault information, which is then sent to the main controller.

[0036] The detection device also includes a voice port detection component 4, which includes a voice port wiring 17 and a DC voltage and current detector 22. The two ends of the voice port wiring 17 are connected to the voice port and the DC voltage and current detector 22, respectively. The DC voltage and current detector 22 is connected to the main controller 5.

[0037] The detection system also includes a QR code generator 25, which is connected to the main controller 5. After the detection is completed, the QR code generator 25 prints out a QR code containing fault information, detection information, detection time and other information and affixes it to the SDN terminal device.

[0038] To facilitate connection between the testing device and the remote server, the testing device also includes a wireless connection module 6, through which the main controller 5 connects to the remote server 7. The wireless connection module 6 can be one of a Wi-Fi connection module, a 4G connection module, or a 5G connection module.
