The present invention also can be used for the physical link accuracy verification of hfc plant, because hfc plant might be because workmen's mistake causes the link of real network not conform to design drawing in work progress, can verify its construction results by this method, thereby the time of artificial Network Search fault has been saved in pinpointing the problems, dealing with problems early.
The problem that this method need solve is as follows:
1, owing to the signal that transmits in the hfc plant all transmits by the frequency division mode, so will solve the transmission channel problem of topological data.
2,,, guarantee that the flow direction of data is correct so will solve the problem that flows to of data-signal because hfc plant is branch type and star-like mixed network structure.
3, how to make all hfc plant equipment all know own position relation in hfc plant.
The method that the present invention deals with problems is as follows:
1, about the structure problem of transmission channel: because the hfc plant management system begins to be applied in radio, TV and film industries gradually, so down going channel and data feedback channel are reached an agreement in whole industry substantially, the down going channel frequency is chosen between 108MHz～112MHz, and the data feedback channel frequency is chosen between 5MHz～20MHz.
Because a certain hfc plant equipment in this scheme in the network will be informed the topological data information of his all subordinate equipments oneself, so the present invention will be in Fig. 2 is built a down going channel on each equipment (as optical receiver, trunk amplifier, two-way addressable hub, digital receiver) in the frame of broken lines of end " 3 " outer net of cable tv network system management system, in order to save cost, this passage is consistent with the data modulator frequency of front end, time-sharing multiplex.
2, data flow problem: because hfc plant belongs to branch type structure, the topological data of a certain node will be informed this all devices below node in this structure, so the flow direction of topological data should be to transmit downwards in the mode of broadcasting at this node.The front-end network management computer will determine whether the topological data of this node disposes on request, so this node will be in up sendaisle sends it back topological data the front-end network management computer, front-end network management computer data according to this determines that the topological data of this node finishes.
3, determine the position relation of the network equipment in hfc plant: because a hfc plant system is huge, data volume is just very big, in order to raise the efficiency fast, the present invention is specified the topological data of pressing broadcast mode transmission oneself as the equipment of a certain address in optical receiver, trunk amplifier, two-way addressable hub, the digital receiver by the front-end network management computer, when certain equipment is received the forwarding topology data command that the front-end network management computer sends, on the down going channel of this machine equipment, send the topological data of oneself by the mode of broadcasting.Simultaneously the data feedback channel at this machine equipment sends identical data, and the front-end network management computer is received that the topological data of confirming certain equipment after these data has been transmitted and finished, can carry out the topological data of next hfc plant equipment and transmit.
This equipment is after down going channel sends data, all subordinate equipments that are connected to this equipment all can be received these data, all equipment of these data of receiving all deposits these data in the net list of oneself in, in order to improve accuracy, higher level equipment can multiple continuously a few secondary data, correctly receive for subordinate equipment, in the net list of can not restoring during all existing identical data in the net list of subordinate equipment.
Whole process repeats, the forwarding of the topological data of all devices in finishing hfc plant, in the net list of all devices that this moment is online the net list of oneself finishing is arranged all, by front end the net list of all on-line apparatus is regained and carried out analyzing and processing, form the topological structure of hfc plant.
In order to improve the speed that whole topology generates, raise the efficiency fast, when topological data is transmitted, can save the topology of the last grade network equipment and transmit, because the last grade equipment has not had subordinate equipment.
How is the last grade equipment determined in network?
Because front end has only the address of each equipment, does not have topological diagram again, how to know which equipment is final stage device, fortunately in the hfc plant equipment various types of equipment are arranged, in complete hfc plant, the last level is hub or set-top box, so can distinguish final stage device easily by type.Because hub or set-top box almost account for 90% of hfc plant in the whole hfc plant, so when the practical topology data forwarding, can hub or set-top box not operated, can save a large amount of time.
Data uplink in the hfc plant, down going channel Close All after finishing each transmission.
