Loading error restoring apparatus and method of exchange
First Claim
1. A loading error restoring apparatus, comprising:
- an exchange that provides a prescribed switching function based on a program;
a loading server that stores the program related to the exchange; and
a network that communicatively couples the loading server and the exchange,wherein the exchange is configured to transmit a load request signal to the load server which includes program information related to a loading error, wherein the exchange requests a specific program selected from a plurality of general programs from the loading server in the load request signal, and to receive a non-erroneous version of the program from the loading server if the exchange determines that the loading error has occurred at least a predetermined number of times during a local loading of the program.

Abstract
A loading error restoring apparatus and method of an exchange are disclosed. A client processor loads a specific program related to a switching system and checks whether a loading error occurs more than a predetermined number of times in the loading process. If so, the client processor transmits a load request signal identifying a requested program to a loading server. In response, the loading server transmits a load reply signal containing the requested program, if it is available. Thereafter, the client processor checks whether the requested program exists in the transmitted load reply signal and loads the transmitted program to an associated disk and memory if the requested program exists.

8. A loading error restoring apparatus, comprising:
-
a disk that stores a program used in an exchange; a memory; a client that controls a program loading operation from the disk to the memory and transmits a load request signal which includes program information related to a loading error to an external server if the loading error occurs while loading the program; and a network that communicatively couples the external server, the client, and a loading server, wherein the external server has access to a plurality of general programs, and wherein the client selects a program from the plurality of general programs available through the load server, and the loading server transmits a requested program to the client through the network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A loading error restoring method, comprising:
-
loading a specific program related to a switching system into an exchange; checking whether a loading error occurs more than a predetermined number of times in loading the specific program; and transmitting a load request signal which includes program information related to the loading error to a loading server and receiving a corresponding program from the loading server if the loading error occurs more than the predetermined number of times, comprising; transmitting a load request signal from the exchange to the loading server; transmitting a load reply signal from the loading server to the exchange in response to the load request signal; checking, with the exchange, whether the corresponding program exists in the transmitted load reply signal, and discarding the load reply signal, with the exchange, if a program total size value of the load reply signal is ‘
0’
bytes; andloading the corresponding program in a disk and in a memory of the exchange. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A loading error restoring method, comprising:
-
loading a specific program related to a switching system into an exchange; checking whether loading errors occur more than a predetermined number of times while loading the specific program; transmitting a load request signal from the exchange to a loading server which includes program information related to the loading errors if the loading errors occur more than the predetermined number of times; transmitting a load reply signal from the loading server to the exchange in response to the load request signal; checking, with the exchange, whether a requested program identified in the load request signal exists in the transmitted load reply signal; loading the requested program on a disk and in a memory of the exchange if the requested program exists; and communicating the requested program from a common database to the loading server for subsequent communication to the exchange, wherein the common database is accessible by multiple exchanges, through the loading server, and stores a plurality of generally used switching system programs. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

30. A loading error restoring method, comprising:
-
loading a specific program related to a switching system into an exchange; checking whether loading errors occur more than a predetermined number of times while loading the specific program; transmitting a load request signal from the exchange to a loading server which includes program information related to the loading errors if the loading errors occur more than the predetermined number of times; transmitting a load reply signal from the loading server to the exchange in response to the load request signal; checking, with the exchange, whether a requested program identified in the load request signal exists in the transmitted load reply signal; and loading the requested program on a disk and in a memory of the exchange if the requested program exists, wherein the exchange directly transmits the load request signal to the loading server if the loading server has been designated and transmits the load request signal in a broadcast form if no loading server has been designated.
