Wiring management system and wiring management method

Abstract

When separate service apparatuses that provide various communication services to users are connected by a wiring with communication functional units interposed, if there is a wiring abnormality, the location of the abnormality is easily identified. When a wiring connection is completed between separated service apparatuses X and Y that provide various communication services to user terminalsandwith communication functional units Aand Binterposed, a wiring management systemA includes a transmission network management apparatusA that identifies a wiring abnormality. The transmission network management apparatusA associates endpoint names of the service apparatuses X and Y and of the functional units Aand Bwith opposite endpoint names on the opposite sides, defines opposite endpoint IDs of the endpoints of the functional units Aand Bas expected values, and saves the end points in association with the opposite endpoint IDs in a DB. Upon completing the wiring connection between the service apparatuses X and Y, an opposite endpoint ID of each of the functional units Aand Band the service apparatuses X and Y opposite to predetermined functional units Aand Bis received as a received value via a wiring, and if the received value does not match the expected value, it is determined that the wiring is abnormal.
