[0034] Each of the aforementioned data collectors includes a Bluetooth communication interface. When the data collector receives the data collection command, the Bluetooth communication interface is used to collect operation and maintenance data of the network device.

[0035] Specifically, the data management module can send data acquisition commands to the data collector.

After receiving the data acquisition command, the data collector can collect the network device's operation and maintenance data based on the network device's device type, data acquisition protocol, and preset data acquisition template. Specifically, the network device's operation and maintenance data is collected via the Bluetooth communication interface.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the Bluetooth control port connector is located on the network device. For example, the Bluetooth control port connector can be connected to the control port of the network device. The Bluetooth control port connector communicates with the Bluetooth communication interface, thus realizing the Bluetooth connection between the data acquisition device and the network device. The Bluetooth communication interface can collect the operation and maintenance data of the network device through the Bluetooth control port connector located on the network device.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the data acquisition device further includes a Bluetooth control port connector, which is disposed on the network device and is communicatively connected to the Bluetooth communication interface.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the data acquisition unit also includes a processor 123, a memory 124, and a bus 125;

[0049] The processor, the memory, and the Bluetooth communication interface are connected via the bus;

[0050] The memory is used to store the Bluetooth driver;

[0051] The processor is used to send a data acquisition signal to the Bluetooth communication interface based on the Bluetooth driver when it receives the data acquisition instruction.

[0052] The Bluetooth communication interface is used to collect the operation and maintenance data of the network device based on the data acquisition signal.

[0053] Specifically, the processor, memory, and Bluetooth communication interface are all connected to a bus, enabling interconnection. The memory stores the Bluetooth driver and can also store automated maintenance programs and data manipulation programs. After receiving a data acquisition command from the data management module, the processor can read the Bluetooth driver from the memory and send a data acquisition signal to the Bluetooth communication interface based on the driver. Upon receiving the data acquisition signal, the Bluetooth communication interface can collect maintenance data from the network devices.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the data acquisition unit also includes a processor, a memory, and a bus.

[0056] Specifically, the data acquisition unit also includes a wired communication interface that connects to a bus. It is easy to understand that the wired communication interface can communicate with other parts of the data acquisition unit through the bus.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the data acquisition device also includes a wired communication interface, which is connected to a bus, enabling the data acquisition device to acquire data via a wired network.

[0058] In one embodiment, the wired communication interface is an Ethernet interface, and the processor is further configured to send a data acquisition signal to the Ethernet interface upon receiving the data acquisition instruction; the processor is further configured to send a data acquisition signal to the Bluetooth communication interface if the Ethernet interface returns a data acquisition failure signal.

[0059] Specifically, the wired communication interface is an Ethernet interface, such as an RJ-45 (Registered Jack-45) network port or an SC (Subscriber Connector) fiber optic interface. Upon receiving a data acquisition command, the processor can first send a data acquisition signal to the Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interface can perform a preset number of maintenance data acquisitions. If the acquisition is successful, the data acquisition unit can send the acquired maintenance data to the data storage module. If the Ethernet interface fails to acquire data during the preset number of acquisitions, it can send a failure signal back to the processor. After receiving the failure signal from the Ethernet interface, the processor can then send a data acquisition signal to the Bluetooth communication interface.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the wired communication interface is an Ethernet interface, which can be used to collect network device operation and maintenance data. That is, the network device operation and maintenance data can be collected through the wired network. If the wired network cannot be used to collect the data, the Bluetooth communication interface can be used instead.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the data acquisition device also includes a power module 127; the power module is connected to the bus; the power module is used to supply power to the processor, the memory, the wired communication interface and the Bluetooth communication interface.

[0064] In one embodiment, the Bluetooth control port connector includes an independent power supply for powering the Bluetooth control port connector.

[0065] Specifically, the Bluetooth control port connector includes an independent power supply. Since the Bluetooth control port connector is located in a network device, it cannot be powered by a power module via a bus. Therefore, by setting an independent power supply in the Bluetooth control port connector, the independent power supply can power the Bluetooth control port connector.

[0066] In the above embodiments, the Bluetooth control port connector includes an independent power supply, which powers the Bluetooth control port connector and ensures its normal operation.

[0067] In one embodiment, the data management module further includes a display;

[0069] Specifically, the data management module may also include a display. This display can show the name of the network device, the target maintenance data corresponding to the network device, the alarm information corresponding to the target maintenance data, and can also display the data acquisition status of the wired communication interface or Bluetooth communication interface. The data acquisition status is fed back to the data management module by the data collector. It is easy to understand that when displaying the above data, the display can show it in a numerical / tabular format, or in a graphical format such as a pie chart or bar chart; this embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the data management module also includes a display, which is used to display the name of the network device, target operation and maintenance data and alarm information, as well as the data collection status of the wired communication interface or Bluetooth communication interface, so as to facilitate the user's attention to and monitoring of the above data.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
