Estimating the term…
A device (1) is dedicated to the control of management data for equipment (5) in a communications network comprising a network management system for managing the equipment (5) in the network using loaded management data modules, associated with the said equipment and stored in a memory (9). This device (1) comprises control means (10) capable, when the system makes a request to take over at least one new item of equipment (5), to extract from the memory (9) the management data module which is associated with each new item of equipment, and then loading into the system each new management data module extracted, dynamically, so that the management by the system of the other equipment in the network is not interrupted.
A device (1) for controlling equipment management data (5) in a communications network comprising a network management system capable of managing the said equipment using previously loaded management data modules, associated with the said equipment and stored in a memory (9), characterised in that it comprises control means (10) arranged, when there is a request by the said system to take over at least one new item of equipment (5) in the said network, to extract from the said memory (9) the management data module associated with each new item of equipment, and then to load into the said system each new management data module extracted, dynamically, so that the management by the said system of the other items of equipment (5) in the said network is not interrupted.
A method of controlling equipment management data (5) in a communications network, in which the said network equipment is managed using loaded management data modules, associated with the said network equipment (5), characterised in that, in the case of a request to take over at least one new item of equipment (5) in the said network, each new management data module associated with a new item of equipment (5) is loaded dynamically so that the management of the other equipment (5) in the said network is not interrupted.
