摘要:
The invention relates to a telecommunication system provided with resources and with software which controls the individual resources and also the manner in which the resources cooperate mutually at a system level. In accordance with the invention, the software is divided into two parts. The first part, called object logic, comprises a number of object units, each of which represents an individual type of resource. Further, each object unit includes operations for controlling its individual resource. An individual type of resource may be used for a number of different purposes. The second part, called control logic, includes a number of control cases. Each control case, in turn, combines a number of object units in a superordinate fashion, to control the mutual cooperation of corresponding resources irrespective of the manner in which an individual object unit is intended to influence its resource. A control case includes a number of control stages, each of which has only one input, at least a first operation, called control stage operation, and at least one output. The control stages of a control case are mutually connected by links, each of which is designed to connect an output of a preceding control stage with the input of a following control stage. The points at which links are connected to the control stages are called potential connection points to which additional control cases, called control case features, can be connected to the control case in which the control stages are present, called the basic control case, for modification of the basic control case.
摘要:
A network element included in a telecommunication system contains several nodes (1226, 1232, 1234, 1236, 1238) which are included in a system internal to this network element and provides internal network element functions in an internal bearer service network, and internal resources in the form of hardware and software which are used for performing the internal network element functions. The network element can offer an operations system a "white box" view, implying that internal resources are available to this operations system, enabling it to use managed objects representing the internal resources in order to manage the resources according to a second management information model in connection with using them for performing internal network element functions.
摘要:
An arrangement for monitoring operations of advanced intelligent network (AIN) elements of a public switched telephone network by transporting standardized network management messages across a data network. A maintenance and operations console (MOC) sends and receives Simplified Network Management Protocol (SNMP) objects from AIN elements such as an Intelligent Peripheral (IP) via a packet switched network using a standardized transport protocol such as TCP/IP. The IP includes an error monitoring system that collects error messages and generates an error status report. An SNMP agent internal to the IP converts the error status report to SNMP objects outputs the SNMP objects onto the packet switched network. The MOC receives the SNMP objects, assigns an operational priority to the SNMP objects, and displays the operational priority of the received SNMP objects based on object relationships identified by a Management Information Base (MIB). The MOC outputs SNMP objects identifying corrective measures in accordance with user selection inputs and the object relationships identified by the MIB. The MOC of the present invention provides flexible monitoring of AIN elements at different locations based on the use of SNMP object base, and accommodates changes to the AIN based on the received MIB objects.

A multi-network environment comprises a plurality of different digital networks, a network manager associated with each network, a system manager at each customer premises for requesting a desired service, a customer agent for implementing instructions received from the customer agent, and a call processing unit associated with each network for implementing instructions received from a customer agent to route a call through the networks.
摘要:
A data storage device includes a CMIP application component which receives data on network objects using the CMIP protocol from the network manager of a main network. For each attribute of each object, a CMIP/SNMP mapper component converts the CMIP object class name, attribute name and distinguished name of the object into the corresponding SNMP attribute value and this data is stored in an MIB. An SNMP application component receives requests for information from a network manager of a local network. In order to service a valid request, the SNMP application component retrieves the required data from MIB and supplies this data to the network manager for the local network using the SNMP protocol. For changes in the values of certain attributes of certain objects, the SNMP application component issues traps to the manager of the local network.
摘要:
A system and method for supporting and managing telecommunications services in a telecommunications network includes a management information base builder toolkit (66, 110) for specifying object definitions in an object-oriented framework of a plurality of managed objects (112) that model resources (64) within the telecommunications network. The toolkit (66, 110) is used to construct a master management information base (70, 116) for storing the object definitions of the plurality of managed objects (112).

A system and method (10) for commissioning telecommunications services includes an SLP toolkit (13) for building a service logic program (15), and an SPM toolkit (19) for building a service management program (21), where the service management program (21) implements a support service for the service logic program (15). A distribution network node (16) is used to receive and distribute the service logic program (15) and service management program (21) to a service logic execution environment (20, 92) residing in a telecommunications network node (30, 32, 34, 36, 50) for executing the service logic program (15), and to a management logic execution environment (22, 86, 94, 102) for executing the service management program (21).

摘要:
A network element in a telecommunication network providing a number of different types of services, supports several telecommunication network applications (1304, 1306). It furthermore contains system resources and management information software. This software includes application specific management information and management information for system resources common to the applications, and is available to an operations system for managing the system resources when they are to be used. All of said management information is organized, from the point of view of naming, in several application specific management information bases each in the form of a respective hierarchical tree structure (1310, 1312).
