Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an automatic address allocation system for an intelligent distribution frame. Background Art

[0002] With the development of communications, optical fiber and network cable resources are used in every corner of society. With the subsequent emergence of intelligent patch panels, a large number of port resources and cable resources have been effectively managed, solving the pain point of dumb resources. However, with the increase in intelligent patching equipment, address allocation has become a pain point, requiring manual allocation of addresses for each device, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] At present, intelligent patch panels are all one host with multiple slaves. At any time, only one node can be in the sending state, the manager unit polls, and other intelligent patch panel devices respond to complete the communication. This requires other intelligent patch panel devices to set the address in advance and only respond to the polling message for their own address. In addition, the address is generally set at the near end by dialing, software configuration, etc., and the setting is successful before access to the bus and communication can begin. This method is very inconvenient and prone to errors, especially when the configuration methods of various devices are different, which causes many obstacles to device access. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a method, device and system for automatically allocating addresses of an intelligent patch panel frame, which has the advantage of being able to detect the status of multiple input patch panel ports and flexibly control the power supply of multiple loads; at the same time, remote management of the above functions can be achieved through a network module.

[0005] The above-mentioned object of the present application is achieved through the following technical scheme, a method for automatically allocating addresses of intelligent distribution frame frames, characterized in that it includes the following steps: Configuration Manager Unit; The manager unit defines the address of the first intelligent patch panel connected to the output port of the manager unit as the first address; When multiple intelligent patch panel devices are added in sequence, the definition address of the first access manager unit output port is the first address. After the manager unit receives the access signal of other devices, it allocates addresses to other devices in sequence.

[0006] Furthermore, when multiple intelligent patch panel devices are added in sequence, the definition address of the first access manager unit output port is the first address. After the manager unit receives the access signal of other devices, it allocates addresses to other devices in sequence according to the order of the manager unit output ports.

[0007] The manager unit detects the port position information and occupancy status of the intelligent patch panel and reports it to a separate upper-level manager; the port position information and occupancy status are detected by a micro switch or infrared sensor arranged at the port, and the manager unit encodes the micro switch and infrared sensor one by one to determine the position of the micro switch or infrared sensor; The manager unit receives an intelligent patch panel power supply instruction issued by a separate upper-level manager, and the manager unit controls the corresponding intelligent patch panel to be powered off or powered on according to the intelligent patch panel power supply instruction.

[0008] Furthermore, when the intelligent patch panel device accesses the manager unit, it returns a first response message carrying the device identity to the manager unit. The manager unit sends a first address allocation message carrying the device identity and the assigned device address to the intelligent patch panel device based on the first response message. After the intelligent patch panel device receives the first address allocation message, the device address carried in the first address allocation message takes effect.

[0009] Furthermore, between the step of returning a first response message carrying the device identity to the manager unit and the step of the manager unit sending a first address allocation message carrying the device identity and the allocated device address to the intelligent distribution frame device according to the first response message, the method further includes: When the manager unit finds a new device, it automatically determines the address of the new device according to the output port of the manager unit.

[0010] Furthermore, after the step of making the device address carried in the first address allocation message effective, the method further includes: The manager unit broadcasts a discovery incremental query message; when the newly added other intelligent distribution frame devices that are not configured with the device address receive the device discovery incremental query message, they return a second response message carrying the device address corresponding to the newly added other intelligent distribution frame devices; according to the second response message, a second address allocation message carrying the device address and the newly allocated device address is sent to each of the newly added other intelligent distribution frame devices corresponding to the second response message in turn; when the newly added other intelligent distribution frame devices receive the second address allocation message, they determine whether the device address carried in the second address allocation message is consistent with their own, and if they are consistent, they set the device address carried in the second address allocation message to take effect, and the newly added other intelligent distribution frame devices that set the newly allocated device address to take effect return an address success response message.

[0011] Furthermore, when the manager unit receives at least two response messages simultaneously, it is determined whether the message verification at the manager unit end is abnormal, and if the verification is abnormal, the at least two response messages received simultaneously are discarded.

[0012] Furthermore, when other intelligent distribution frame devices that have been assigned the device address receive the device discovery full query message, they return a first response message carrying the device address corresponding to the other intelligent distribution frame devices; when at least two of the multiple first response messages received by the manager unit carry the same device address, an alarm is reported, or the device address is reallocated to the other intelligent distribution frame devices.

[0013] Furthermore, based on the first response message received within the first response receiving cycle, the mapping relationship between the other intelligent distribution frame devices and the device address is determined, and based on the mapping relationship, the idle device addresses are allocated to the other intelligent distribution frame devices that are not configured with the device address in turn, and the first address allocation message carrying the device address is sent to the other intelligent distribution frame devices that are not configured with the device address.

[0014] On the other hand, the present application provides a device for allocating addresses to intelligent distribution frame equipment, comprising: A manager unit module, applied to the manager unit device discovery full query message; An address allocation unit is used for other intelligent patch panel devices that are not configured with the device address to return a first response message carrying the device address corresponding to the other intelligent patch panel devices when receiving the device discovery full query message; and is used for sending a first address allocation message carrying the device address and the newly allocated device address to each of the other intelligent patch panel devices corresponding to the first response message in turn according to the first response message; and is used for the other intelligent patch panel devices to determine whether the device address carried in the first address allocation message is consistent with the device itself when receiving the first address allocation message, and if consistent, to set the device address carried in the first address allocation message to take effect; A detection unit is used to detect the port position information and occupancy status of the intelligent patch panel and report it to a separate upper-level manager; the port position information and occupancy status are detected by a micro switch or infrared sensor arranged at the port, and the manager unit encodes the micro switch and infrared sensor one by one to determine the position of the micro switch or infrared sensor; And a communication unit is used for communication connection with a separately provided upper-level manager.

[0015] On the other hand, the present application provides a system for allocating addresses for intelligent patch panel devices, including a manager unit and at least two other intelligent patch panel devices, wherein the manager unit and the other intelligent patch panel devices are used to execute the various steps in the method for automatically allocating addresses of intelligent patch panel frames as described above.

[0016] To sum up, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: in the present invention, the manager unit automatically defines the address of the first intelligent patch panel accessing the output port of the manager unit as the first address; when multiple intelligent patch panel devices are added successively, the defined address of the output port of the first access manager unit is the first address, and after the intelligent patch panel manager unit receives the access signal of other devices, the other devices will automatically allocate addresses in sequence to avoid address conflicts.
