Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication networks, and in particular to a system and method for optimizing connection relations of distribution frames based on visual management. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, optical fiber networks have become the main carrier of information transmission.

[0003] In the current communication network environment, the patch panel is a vital component. Its main function is to centrally manage and distribute the connections of various cables (such as optical fiber, copper cable, etc.). The patch panel provides orderly interfaces and layouts, allowing a large number of cables to be connected and distributed in an orderly manner, thus ensuring the stability and scalability of the network.

[0004] However, existing patch panel management solutions do not clearly distinguish between the front-end (usually referring to the part for cable management and access, involving the physical connection and wiring of cables) and the back-end (usually referring to the interface part for end users or devices). Because the front-end and back-end connections are not clearly separated, confusion often occurs during the actual wiring process. For example, cables for different purposes may be mixed together, increasing the complexity of wiring. At the same time, when the network needs to be maintained, it is difficult for technicians to quickly locate the problem due to unclear connection relationships, thereby increasing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance. Furthermore, due to the lack of a clear division between the front and back ends, it is impossible to intuitively display the corresponding relationship between each connection point, which in turn affects the overall manageability and efficiency of the network. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the needs and shortcomings of current technological development, the present invention provides a system and method for optimizing the connection relationship of distribution frames based on visual management, aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of optical fiber network management in environments such as data centers and communication rooms, reduce human errors, and optimize network operation and maintenance processes.

When defining a patch cord model, the connection on the left side of the patch panel is defined as the rear connection, and the connection on the right side of the patch panel is defined as the front connection. When the patch cord is connected to the left side of the patch panel, its Side attribute is automatically set to rear, and when the patch cord is connected to the right side of the patch panel, its Side attribute is automatically set to front.

[0074] S3. When the user double-clicks the board, the hidden connection function is executed to hide the jumper fibers that are not connected to the board.

[0075] When the user double-clicks the board to execute the hidden connection function, it is first distinguished whether the two ends of the jumper are directly or indirectly connected to the terminals on the board, so as to ensure that all jumpers that are neither directly nor indirectly connected to the current board terminals are hidden.
