System for controlling a telecommunication network node, method and computer program therefor

摘要

A system (10) includes a telecommunication network node (12), a first unit (14) configured for sending information (15i) relating to the status of the node (12), and a second unit (16) configured for receiving information (16i) for controlling the node (12). A management unit (18) of the node (12) is connected with the second unit (16) and is configured for controlling the node (12) according to the information (16i) received by the second unit (16). The form of the information (14i) sent by the first unit (14) and/or the information (16i) received by the second unit (16) either does not include, or includes more than, only text. The invention also relates to use of such a system (10), and methods and computer programs implementing the invention. In one embodiment, the first unit includes a camera configured for taking pictures of at least an outer surface of the telecommunication network node. This enables sending information of the telecommunication network node to be controlled, monitored and/or managed, so as to enable the detection, for instance, of any light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which would therefore provide evidence of an abnormal condition within telecommunication network node.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a telecommunication network node; a first hardware unit configured for sending information relating to the status of the telecommunication network node; and a second hardware unit configured for receiving information for controlling the telecommunication network node; wherein the telecommunication network node includes a management hardware unit connected with the second hardware unit and configured for controlling the telecommunication network node according to the information received by the second hardware unit; the form of at least one of the information sent by the first hardware unit and the information received by the second hardware unit includes at least one of audio data, still image data, video data, and email; the second hardware unit is included in the telecommunication network node; and the telecommunication network node is implemented as one or more blades of a blade system and the first hardware unit is implemented as one blade of the blade system; wherein the first hardware unit and the second hardware unit include a common hardware unit as a front end hardware unit configured for: sending information relating to the status of the telecommunication network node; receiving information for controlling the telecommunication network node; and maintaining session information for supporting the interaction between the front end hardware unit and an external management node.
