A method for enabling a command interface for a network element to be automatically constructed from a modular command description, such that interlinking command interfaces can be created from a plurality of command descriptions. Since each command description is modular, interfaces for new commands can be easily added and integrated into an existing system of interfaces for interacting with the network element. The method enables a set of interfaces to be more easily constructed and updated for a complex system such as a T::DAX® digital cross-connect. Furthermore, these interfaces present commands grouped in a logical manner, such that each interface only shows the user commands which are available at each stage of the interaction, thereby simplifying the complexity of the management of these commands. Thus, the method enables a set of interfaces to be automatically created and updated, which both simplifies the task of programming these interfaces and of operating the interfaces once they have been created. |
