Method and network element for operating a telecommunications network

摘要

A method for operating a telecommunications network is explained. A network element ( 16 ) at a network node of the telecommunications network is controlled by a control computer ( 36 ). The control computer ( 16 ) is maintained from a service computer ( 24 ). Allomorphy is taken into account in the development of application programs ( 102, 104 ) so that even a service computer ( 24 ) which is not developed can maintain the control computer ( 36 ). Making allowance for allomorphy results in little additional expenditure because an interface program ( 100 ) is used in which essential processing steps are carried out for all the application programs ( 102, 104 ), said processing steps ensuring that allomorphy is taken into consideration.
