Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention: The present invention is a test device and method for a community network system, especially between an Ethernet switch and a central office device in each community. An additional loop test device is added, and the network management system of the central office can use the fiber test device to perform a multi-level back test of the community network system and its method. Prior technology: In recent years, due to the vigorous development of the Internet, especially the World Wide Web (WWW), in addition to providing traditional email transmission services, it also provides a variety of voice, pictures, and dynamic images. The multimedia service enables the general public to easily obtain rich and diverse information services through this channel. Therefore, surfing the Internet at home has become a part of many people's daily activities. Internet companies have also designed based on this trend. Provide all kinds of high-speed network equipment, such as Cable modem (Modem) or ADSL (Asymmetrie Digital Subscriber line) modem, etc., in order to improve the transmission rate of the network, more network operators, in order to increase the network It uses various functions to design a variety of network peripherals, such as: Voice over IP Device (VoIP), etc., to provide users with network line letter services to greatly reduce users ’long-distance calls. And international communications costs. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, it is widely used in various communities in the various network architectures used today. It is a telephone network (UTP) network architecture. In the connection structure of this network system, referring to FIG. 1, the Ethernet card 30 of the client is equipped with an ADSL communication interface (not shown) and a routing control circuit (not shown) The Ethernet control card 30 can benefit the routing control circuit, through the existing unshielded twisted pair (UTP) telephone fiber 31, and the central office 34 (or the network operator). An Ethernet switch (Switch) 32 is connected in the community, and the network switch 32 uses the optical fiber 33 to connect with the Ethernet equipment of the central office 34, and the Ethernet equipment is The optical fiber 33 is connected to the Internet 35 to transmit the packet information of the Ethernet card 30 to the Internet 35, or to receive the packet information transmitted from the Internet 35. In this kind of network architecture, the paper size of the bureau 34 in the community applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 × 297 ^^) 532005 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (Employee Consumption of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs) The network cross leg 32 printed by the cooperative is used to allocate the high-speed fiber of the fiber 33 to a certain number of clients in the community through the existing off-line 31 to enhance the network transmission of each client. In this kind of application structure of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) or Ethernet To The Home (ETTH), due to the network exchanges set up by households in various communities The device 32 has a considerable distance from the central office 34 and cannot be maintained and managed at any time. However, the use of the network for online maintenance management is limited by the simple type of simple network management protocol (SNMP) used by general network management systems. The network management protocol does not allow real-time online maintenance and management of each network switch 32 by the central office 34. When a fault occurs, it is generally performed using the loopback test method. Measure which part is faulty. In this test, refer to Figure 1 again. It is mainly issued by the network management system of the office 34. One or more Ping commands are issued. When the network is set up in the community, When the circuit switch 32 receives the Ping commands, it immediately responds to the Ping commands one by one, and the network management system determines whether the network switch 32 is faulty based on whether it receives a response to the Ping command within a specific time. However, in fact, whenever a fault occurs, the network management system can only issue a Ping command to check whether the network switch is responding normally and determine whether there is a problem with the line. As for the location of the problem, it is the line It ’s unavailable, or the software of the network switch is not activated, it is unknown. In addition, if the network management system wants to get a normal response after issuing a Ping command, in addition to the hardware, there must be no problems. Operation, otherwise, you will not be able to get a normal response, let alone accurately determine the location of the problem. Therefore, traditionally, it is necessary to rely on maintenance personnel to go to the network The establishment of a place for maintenance and management not only causes many problems in management, but also significantly increases the cost of maintenance and management, and causes many negative effects on the quality of network transmission services.
