Method for an improved and simplified operation of a central office point of delivery

A telecommunications network for operation of a central office point of delivery, wherein the telecommunications network comprises:

• the central office point of delivery, wherein the central office point of delivery comprises at least one control node and a plurality of line termination nodes wherein each line termination node of the plurality of line termination nodes comprises a number of access node ports, wherein each access node port of the plurality of line termination nodes is configured to receive or to-be connected to one of a plurality of pluggable interface modules;
• wherein a specific pluggable interface module is plugged into an access node port of a line termination node;
• wherein the line termination node is configured to transmit a request message to a control node, wherein the request message comprises interface module information related to the pluggable interface module, and wherein an activation clearance is requested, via the request message, from the control node;
• wherein the line termination node is configured to receive, from the control node an acknowledgement message related to the activation clearance requested by the request message, wherein the acknowledgement message corresponds to a verification operation and/or an activation clearance operation having been successful;
• and
• wherein the line termination node and/or the access node port is configured to activate the pluggable interface module.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for operation of a central office point of delivery, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

• in response to a pluggable interface module being plugged into an access node port of a line termination node of the central office point of delivery, transmitting, by the line termination node, a request message to a control node of the central office point of delivery, wherein the central office point of delivery comprises at least one control node and a plurality of line termination nodes, wherein each line termination node of the plurality of line termination nodes comprises a number of access node ports, wherein each access node port of the plurality of access node ports is configured to receive or be connected to one of a plurality of pluggable interface modules, wherein the request message comprises interface module information related to the pluggable interface module, and wherein an activation clearance is requested, via the request message, from the control node;
• receiving, by the line termination node, from the control node, an acknowledgement message related to the activation clearance requested by the request message, wherein the acknowledgement message corresponds to a verification operation and/or activation clearance operation having been successful;
• and
• activating, by the line termination node and/or by the access port node, the pluggable interface module.
