A method, and apparatus for, mediating between a telecommunications network management centre (NMC) (10) and a telecommunications network element manager (NEM) (4) over an interface (15) defined by a standard, the NMC (10) using a first version of the standard and the NEM (4) using a second version of the standard. For example, this may be used for different versions of the north bound interface (NBI) of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Management standard. A mediator (21) is provided that converts a request received from e.g. an Integration Reference Point (IRP) manager (23) of an NMC (10) under the first version of the standard to a corresponding request under the second version of the standard which it sends to e.g. an IRP agent (27) of an NEM (4); receives back a response under the second version of the standard; converts the response to a corresponding response under the first version of the standard; and sends the converted response under the first version of the standard to the IRP manager (23). |
