Wiring management system and wiring management method

A wiring management system comprising:

• separate service apparatuses configured to provide various communication services to user terminals via a service network;
• a transmission apparatus configured to connect between the service apparatuses through a transmission network with a plurality of communication functional units interposed in the transmission network;
• and
• a transmission network management apparatus configured to identify a wiring abnormality of the connected transmission network, wherein the transmission network management apparatus includes:
• a first database (DB) configured to save endpoint names which are unique names of endpoints as transmitting/receiving ends of the plurality of functional units, opposite endpoint names of the functional units and the service apparatuses on the opposite side of endpoint names, and an opposite endpoint identification (ID) which is an opposite side of each endpoint name among unique endpoint IDs defined for each endpoint of the service apparatuses and each endpoint of the plurality of communication functional units and save only the endpoint names before a wiring connection between the service apparatuses via the plurality of communication functional units is performed, and
• a second database (DB) configured to save each endpoint name in association with each defined endpoint ID for each endpoint corresponding to each of the endpoint names, and upon completing the wiring connection, the transmission network management apparatus is configured to receive an opposite endpoint ID of a corresponding side at the endpoints of the plurality of communication functional units, save the received opposite endpoint ID in association with an endpoint name of the same endpoint in the first DB, searches for the endpoint name of the same endpoint as the endpoint of the saved opposite endpoint ID from the second DB, and save the searched endpoint name in association with an opposite endpoint ID of the same endpoint in the first DB as an opposite endpoint name.

A wiring management method for wiring and connecting between separate service apparatuses that provide various communication services to user terminals via a service network through a transmission network with a plurality of communication functional units interposed in the transmission network and identifying a wiring abnormality in the connected transmission network by a transmission network management apparatus, wherein the transmission network management apparatus includes a database (DB) configured to store information related to the plurality of communication functional units, the method comprising:

• defining endpoint names which are unique names of endpoints as transmitting/receiving ends of the service apparatuses, and endpoint names which are unique names of endpoints as transmitting/receiving ends of the plurality of functional units and saving each of the defined endpoint names in association with an opposite endpoint name which is an endpoint name on an opposite side of the endpoint in the DB,
• defining a unique endpoint identification (ID) for each of the endpoints of the service apparatuses and each of the endpoints of the plurality of communication functional units,
• defining opposite endpoint IDs on the opposite sides of the endpoints as expected values and associating the endpoint names of the endpoints of the plurality of communication functional units with the opposite endpoint IDs and saving the associated endpoint names in pairs with the expected values in the DB, upon completing a wiring connection between the service apparatuses, receiving an opposite endpoint ID on an opposite side of an endpoint in the plurality of communication functional units via a wiring as a received value, receiving an opposite endpoint ID of the service apparatus opposite to a predetermined functional unit among the plurality of communication functional units via a wiring as a received value, and saving the received values in pairs with the expected value of the same opposite endpoint ID in the DB, and determining a wiring abnormality based on the received values and the expected value of the same opposite endpoint ID saved in the DB not matching.
