<p>A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for providing a direct hypertext transfer protocol (http) interface (330) into an IN node (320) containing subscriber and/or network information. The http interface (325) provides a method of remotely administering an IN node (320) that combines the platform independence and manageability of a text interface with the shallow learning curve and useability of a graphical interface. With this direct http interface (325), any computer, workstation, or other web-capable machine (300) connected to the same data network (210) as the IN node (320) can start a web browser (310), e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc., type in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) (308), which is an identification of the IN node (320) the user wishes to access, and access the IN node (320) in order to enter administrative functions from the web browser (310).</p> |
