Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method and a system for identifying a communication port in a telecommunication network. The technology allows a field network operator to connect a network termination device (NTD) to a network access node (NAN) of the telecommunication network and automatically receive, on a mobile communication device, information related to physical and logical location of the communication port where the NTD is connected.
Claims24
A method for identifying a telecommunication network data port, the method comprising:
- using a network termination device (NTD) connected to an access node (AN) of the telecommunication network to send a signal comprising a NTD unique identifier through the telecommunication network;
- using a network management system (NMS) to receive the signal and provide a data matching module with access to the signal;
- the data matching module receives the signal and matches the unique identifier with a human network operator associated to the NTD;
- and
- when a match is found, a messaging module sends a message to the human operator, the message including identification information of the data port.
A system for identifying a telecommunication network data port, the system comprising:
- a network termination device (NTD) arranged to connect to an access node (AN) of the telecommunication network and send a signal comprising a NTD unique identifier through the optical telecommunication network;
- a network management system (NMS) arranged to receive the signal and provide a network matching module with access to the signal;
- a network matching module arranged to receive the signal and match the unique identifier with a human network operator associated to the NTD;
- and
- a messaging module arranged to forward a message to the human operator, the message including identification information of the data port;
- wherein, in use, the human operator connects the NTD to the AN and automatically receives a message including the identification information NTD.
The system of claim 14, wherein the telecommunication network is an optical telecommunication network and the data port is an optical data port.
