METHOD AND DEVICE IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

An address registration means (123; 213) used in a telecommunications network in which subscribers are connected to remote subscriber stages (RSS) (107, 109, 111, 113; 205) is disclosed. Said RSSs are connected to local exchanges (101, 102, 103; 201, 203). The address registration means (123, 213) comprises a first table (125) providing information about the RSS to which each subscriber is connected, and a second table (127) providing information about the local exchange to which each RSS is connected. To move an RSS (107, 109, 111, 113; 205), with all subscribers connected to it, from a local exchange to another, the table entry for this RSS in the second table (127) is changed. The address registration means (213) may be comprised in a supervision node (211) monitoring the state of the local exchanges (201, 203) to move an RSS from one local exchange to another automatically when needed.
