Abstract

Apparatus and method including a starting file storing portion for matching a large amount of configuration data between an exchanger and an initialized TMN repeater, and a modified file storing portion for storing modified information of configuration data managed by the exchanger, and outputting stored modified information to the TMN repeater after initialization, and if an operator stores exchanger configuration data into the starting file storing portion and stores modified configuration data into the modified file storing portion when initialization, the TMN repeater reads exchanger configuration data stored in the starting file storing portion, and updates corresponding managed object with read date. Then, the TMN repeater reads modified configuration data stored in the modified file-storing portion, and updates corresponding managed object with read data.

Claims

1. An apparatus for matching an exchanger and TMN repeater in CDMA system in which said CDMA system comprising:

an operator input portion for inputting command by an operator;

an exchanger for managing configuration data in accordance with operator command output from said operator input portion;

a TMN center for designating specific processors mounted in said exchanger to standardized managed objects, storing configuration data managed by said specific processors into corresponding managed object, and managing stored configuration data; and

a TMN repeater made up of an interface portion and a state information processing portion and which interfaces said exchanger and said TMN center,

said apparatus comprising;

a start file storing portion for storing configuration data of said exchanger required by said TMN repeater in accordance with said operator input, and outputting stored data to said TMN repeater when initialization is performed; and

a modified file storing portion for storing modified information of configuration data managed by said exchanger, and outputting stored modified information to said TMN repeater when initialization is performed.

2. A method of matching a large amount of configuration data between an exchanger and TMN repeater in CDMA system, said method comprising:

a first step of storing configuration data of said exchanger required by said TMN repeater into a start file storing portion when an operator performs an initialization, and storing a modified configuration data into a modified file storing portion;

a second step of reading by said TMN repeater configuration data stored in said start file storing portion and updating corresponding managed object with read data, and reading modified configuration data stored in said modified file storing portion and updating corresponding managed object with read data;

a third step of determining whether a time period predetermined by said TMN repeater is elapsed or not;

a fourth step of requesting said TMN repeater to transmit said modified configuration data to said exchanger, when the time period is determined as elapsed in said third step;

a fifth step of determining whether a flag of database of a plurality of processors mounted in said exchanger is “

TRUE”

or not;

a sixth step of reading said modified configuration data stored in said database at said fifth step, transmitting read data to said TMN repeater, and setting flag of said database to “

FALSE”

;

a seventh step of receiving said modified configuration data from said TMN repeater, updating corresponding managed object with received modified data, and storing the modified configuration data into said modified file storing portion;

an eighth step of determining whether a configuration data processing command is input to said database at said fifth step, and performing said third step if it is determined that the configuration data processing command is not input; and

a ninth step of modifying state of said configuration data in response to said configuration data processing command which is input at said eighth step, storing modified configuration data into said database, setting said flag of the database to “

TRUE”

, and performing said third step.
