Components recognition - and management system for networks, in particular for optical networks, plug with conductor cable and coupling bush as well as a method for setting up of a cable specific network factory map

摘要

The invention relates to a component-recognition and management system for optical networks for establishing a network configuration with the following characteristics: a) readers (39, 41, 79, 79') are arranged in the area of every coupling sleeve (23, 24, 35, 35') of a distribution element (38, 38', 38", 61, 67, 68) such as patchbox or patchpanel, and by means of which, once a plug-in connection has been established, a data carrier (26, 32) positioned at a plug (20, 55) plugged into the corresponding coupling sleeve can be read out; b) to each distribution element (38, 38', 38", 61, 67, 68) is assigned an analyzing unit (21, 22) which is coupled via a data bus to the readers (39, 41, 79, 79') at the coupling sleeves of the distribution element, and which, via the readers (39, 41, 79, 79'), can read-out the data carriers (26, 31, 32) of plugs plugged into the corresponding coupling sleeves and assign them to the coupling; c) an analyzing unit (21, 22) consists of a master electronic unit (49, 49', 49", 50, 50', 50") and at least one slave electronic unit (51, 52, 53, 54, 51", 51', 52', 53', 54'), each slave electronic unit being assigned to a group of distribution elements, for example all distribution elements arranged in a distribution box, and one or more slave electronic units being managed by the corresponding master electronic unit (49, 49', 49", 50, 50', 50") so that the local network status can be established and checked from a master electronic unit.
