Abstract

A UPC circuit fault diagnosis system for diagnosing a failure in a UPC circuit controls cell traffic volume on the basis of prescribed information about cell traffic. Failure diagnosis of a UPC circuit is provided by a usage parameter determination of at least one kind of cell, using more than one system and comparing determination results. The diagnosis system has an operating UPC circuit for controlling a total of m kinds of cells, and a standby UPC circuit for controlling a total of n kinds of cells. The system also has a total of q bridge memories for keeping a chronological record of the prescribed information of arriving cells. A fault diagnosis of the bridge memories is provided by comparing the contents of the bridge memories, using more than one system.
