Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of network testing equipment structure technology, specifically to a handheld network testing device based on an automatic switching working mode of multiple network port physical link combination status. Background Technology

[0002] In on-site network maintenance, cabling installation, and troubleshooting scenarios, handheld network testing devices are widely used for link status identification, network port testing, network cable testing, and data capture. To meet diverse testing needs, existing handheld testing equipment... They are generally equipped with multiple Ethernet interfaces.

[0003] Existing multi-port handheld testing equipment has the following shortcomings: 1) Switching between working modes relies on manual operation via buttons, menus, or touchscreens, which makes on-site operation cumbersome and inefficient. 2) Mode switching requires manual judgment of the usage scenario, which is prone to misoperation and leads to a mismatch between functions and actual needs; 3) Although some network devices have port status recognition mechanisms, these are mostly used in data forwarding devices such as switches and routers, and are not specifically designed for handheld testing devices. 4) It lacks a complete adaptive scheduling mechanism with a default power-on working mode, single-port self-adaptation, multi-port linkage, and low power consumption without connection, resulting in insufficient ease of use.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies lack a complete technical solution specifically for handheld network testing devices that can automatically switch working modes based on the combined status of multiple network port links without manual intervention. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a handheld network testing device based on automatic switching of working modes using multi-port link combinations. This device is specifically designed for handheld network testing scenarios, does not involve network switching or routing equipment, and can operate based on Ethernet... The number and combination of network interfaces automatically switch working modes without manual configuration, enabling plug-and-play and scenario-adaptive network detection.

[0006] A handheld network testing device based on automatic switching of working modes using multi-port link combination includes at least two Ethernet interfaces, a port status monitoring module, a working mode switching module, a testing execution module, and a display module.

[0007] The network port status monitoring module is connected to each Ethernet interface and monitors the physical link connectivity status of each Ethernet interface in real time to determine whether the interface is connected or disconnected.

[0008] The working mode switching module is connected to the network port status monitoring module. After the device is powered on, it directly enters the default working mode and automatically matches and switches to the corresponding target working mode from a variety of preset working modes based on the number and combination of Ethernet interfaces in a connected state. Standard working mode.

[0009] The detection execution module is connected to the working mode switching module, and performs data processing and information collection operations in the corresponding working mode.

[0010] The display module is used to display the current working mode identifier and the network port identifier that is in a valid connection state in real time.

[0011] Furthermore, the default working mode corresponds to the working state of single network port access.

[0012] Furthermore, when only one Ethernet interface is connected, the device enters the corresponding single-port operating mode.

[0013] Furthermore, when at least two Ethernet interfaces are connected, the device enters the corresponding multi-port linkage working mode.

[0014] Furthermore, when all Ethernet interfaces are disconnected, the device enters a low-power operating mode.

[0015] Furthermore, all operating modes are switched automatically based solely on the physical link status of the Ethernet interface, eliminating the need for manual configuration by the user via buttons, menus, or touchscreens.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1) The protection scope is open and covers at least two Ethernet interfaces, and is compatible with dual-port, triple-port and more port structures. The protection scope is wide and difficult to circumvent. 2) It is strictly limited to handheld network testing devices, clearly distinguishing them from existing network equipment such as switches and routers, and there is no conflict in the scope of protection; 3) It enters the default working mode upon power-up, and its logic is stable and intuitive, completing initialization without waiting for network port access; 4) Fully automatic mode switching is achieved based on the number and combination of network ports, eliminating the need for manual operation and significantly improving on-site operation and maintenance efficiency; 5) Automatically enters low-power mode when there is no network port access, effectively improving the battery life of handheld devices; 6) The overall structure is simple, requires minimal hardware modifications, does not significantly increase costs, and is suitable for mass production and engineering applications. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0018] In this embodiment, the handheld network detection device is a portable integrated structure, powered by an independent battery, and includes at least two Ethernet interfaces, which can be expanded to three or more Ethernet interfaces according to actual needs.

[0019] The overall hardware system of the device includes: an Ethernet interface unit, a network port status monitoring module, a main control unit, a working mode switching module, a detection execution module, a display module, and a power management module.

[0020] Network port status monitoring The network port status monitoring module reads the link status register of the Ethernet physical layer chip to obtain the physical link connectivity status of each Ethernet interface in real time, and updates the status information at millisecond intervals to ensure the real-time performance and response speed of mode switching.

[0021] Power-on default mode Each time the device is powered on or the system is reset, the working mode switching module directly configures the device to the default working mode, which corresponds to the working state of single network port access, and initialization can be completed without network port access.

[0022] Working mode switching logic 1) Single network port connectivity status When only one Ethernet interface is in a valid connection state, the device automatically enters the corresponding single-port working mode and performs data processing and information acquisition operations that match the single-port test.

[0023] 2) Multi-port connectivity status When at least two Ethernet interfaces are in a valid connected state at the same time, the device automatically enters the corresponding multi-port linkage working mode and performs data processing and information acquisition operations that match the multi-port collaborative test.

[0024] 3) No network port connectivity When all Ethernet interfaces are disconnected, the device automatically enters a low-power operating mode, extending battery life by reducing system operating frequency, shutting down or reducing peripheral power consumption; when any Ethernet interface is reconnected and becomes active again, the device... Set to automatically wake up and switch to the corresponding working mode.

[0025] Mode switching rules Switching between all operating modes is done automatically based solely on the connectivity or disconnection status of the physical Ethernet interface link. No manual selection or configuration by the user is required via buttons, menus, or touchscreens, achieving true plug-and-play functionality.

[0026] Display and Interaction The display module outputs the current working mode name, the number of the validly connected Ethernet interface, and core operating status information in real time, providing users with an intuitive status display without the need for additional manual interaction.
