Abstract
A system (10) and method for accessing software applications residing on a telecommunications switch (12) is provided. The system (10) includes a communication server (14) that acts as a gateway between the switch (12) and remote clients (22, 26, 32). The client-server architecture of the system (10) permits concurrent connectivity and off-loads much of the processing demand from the switch (12) to the server (14) and/or clients (22, 26, 32). In addition, the communication server (14) can include a HTTP server (52) that allows a remote client to access switch applications using a conventional web browser.
Claims20
A system for communicating with a telecom switch, comprising:
- a proxy server for managing connectivity between at least one software application residing on the telecom switch and at least one network application;
- wherein said proxy server comprises a gateway permitting client-server communication between said telecom switch and devices running at least one network application, said gateway providing single-point entry to said at least one software application while allowing concurrent connectivity for each of a plurality of application sessions.
A computer-readable memory storing a program for directing a computer to function as a proxy server for managing connectivity between at least one software application residing on a telecom switch and at least one network application residing on a remote client;
- wherein said proxy server comprises a gateway permitting client-server communication between said telecom switch and said remote client, said gateway providing single-point entry to said at least one software application while allowing concurrent connectivity for each of a plurality of application sessions.
A method of communicating with a telecom switch, comprising:
- providing a proxy server for managing connectivity between the telecom switch and a remote client, said proxy server comprising a gateway permitting client-server communication between said telecom switch and said remote client, said gateway providing single-point entry to at least one software application while allowing concurrent connectivity for each of a plurality of application sessions;
- connecting to the proxy server from the remote client;
- and
- communicating with the telecom switch by establishing an application session between the telecom switch and the remote client.
