Abstract
A communications device control method comprises obtaining, by the communications device control apparatus, a first parameter in response to a trigger condition, and quickly controlling, by the communications device control apparatus using the first parameter, a transceiver to be powered on such that the first device exits the warm backup state and process service traffic that is received. The first parameter is a working parameter that is used to start the transceiver and that is pre-stored by the communications device control apparatus.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, in a warm backup state, a first parameter in response to a trigger condition, wherein the first parameter includes a startup parameter that instructs a transceiver of a communications device to be started from a low-power power-off state, wherein the startup parameter comprises at least one of a gain of an amplifier in the transceiver or a filtering parameter in the transceiver, wherein the warm backup state indicates that the communications device is in a power-on state and the transceiver is in the low-power power-off state before occurrence of the trigger condition, wherein the low-power power-off state indicates that the transceiver cannot receive and transmit network traffic, wherein the trigger condition indicates that an active switchover or a standby switchover is to be performed between a second communications device that is faulty and the communications device, wherein the second communications device is an active device and the communications device is a backup device, and wherein the first parameter indicates that the transceiver is to run based on the startup parameter;
- and
- instructing the transceiver to be powered on using the first parameter to cause the communications device to exit the warm backup state.
A communications device control apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the communications device control apparatus to:
- obtain a first parameter in response to a trigger condition of a communications device in a warm backup state, wherein the first parameter includes a startup parameter that instructs a transceiver of the communications device to be started from a low-power power-off state, wherein the startup parameter comprises at least one of a gain of an amplifier in the transceiver or a filtering parameter in the transceiver, wherein the warm backup state indicates that the communications device is in a power-on state and the transceiver of the communications device is in the low-power power-off state before occurrence of the trigger condition, wherein the low-power power-off state indicates that the transceiver cannot receive and transmit network traffic, wherein the trigger condition indicates that an active switchover or a standby switchover is to be performed between a second communications device that is faulty and the communications device, wherein the second communications device is an active device and the communications device is a backup device, wherein the communications device control apparatus comprises the transceiver, and wherein the first parameter indicates that the transceiver is to run based on the startup parameter;
- and
- instruct, using the first parameter, the transceiver to be powered on to cause the communications device to exit the warm backup state.
3 more elements
A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause a communications device control apparatus to:
- obtain, in a warm backup state, a first parameter in response to a trigger condition, wherein the first parameter includes a startup parameter that instructs a transceiver of a communications device to be started from a low-power power-off state, wherein the startup parameter comprises at least one of a gain of an amplifier in the transceiver or a filtering parameter in the transceiver, wherein the trigger condition indicates an active switchover or a standby switchover is to be performed between a second communications device that is faulty and the communications device, wherein the second communications device is an active device and the communications device is a backup device, wherein the warm backup state indicates that the communications device is in a power-on state and the transceiver is in the low-power power-off state before occurrence of the trigger condition, wherein the low-power power-off state indicates that the transceiver cannot receive and transmit network traffic, wherein the communications device comprises the transceiver, and wherein the first parameter indicates the transceiver is to run based on the startup parameter;
- and
- instruct the transceiver to be powered on using the first parameter to cause the communications device to exit the warm backup state.
