Method and device for the management of different configurations and different levels of functionalities in equipment for telecommunications networks

摘要

A method for managing different configurations and different levels of functionalities in equipment for telecommunications networks is described. The method calls for the following phases: definition of one or more licences, each licence being associated with corresponding configurations and/or levels of functions; provision of a semi-permanent equipment memory; provision of a software program to be loaded in the equipment to enable its normal operation; and preset of the semi-permanent equipment memory by storing indicative information referred to a licence so that the equipment software program will learn the licence on the basis of the information that is stored and make only those functions that are associated with the licence available
