Method for managing a telecommunication network and associated devices

A method for managing a telecommunication network, comprising at least one base station in which said at least one base station is located and authenticated through the use of at least one identification parameter for landlines of the telecommunication network to which said at least one base station is connected, comprising the steps of:

• updating a database containing said at least one identification parameter of the landlines of the telecommunication network and a connection point's associated location information,
• receiving a save request from a base station connected to a landline of the telecommunication network,
• identifying said landline of the telecommunication network to which the base station is connected,
• determining a location of the connection point of the identified telecommunication network landline,
• determining a radio configuration of the base station at said location, and
• saving said location of the base station and said at least one identification parameter of the associated landline in a network access database.

A telecommunication network server connected to a plurality of base stations in which locating and authenticating base stations relies on at least one identification parameter for a landline of a network to which one of the base stations is connected, wherein the telecommunication network server comprises at least one processing means configured to:

• receive a save request from a base station connected to a landline of the network,
• identify said landline of the network to which the base station is connected,
• determine a location of a connection point of the identified network landline,
• determine a radio configuration of the base station at said location, and
• save said location of the base station and said at least one identification parameter of the associated landline in a network access database.

A telecommunication network server connected to a plurality of base stations in which locating and authenticating base stations relies on at least one identification parameter for a landline of a telecommunication network to which one of the base stations is connected, wherein the telecommunication network server comprises at least one processing means configured to:

• receive a save request regarding a network landline to which a base station is or will be connected, said request comprising said at least one identification parameter for said network landline,
• determine a location of a connection point of the identified network landline,
• determine a radio configuration of the base station at said location, and
• save said location of the base station and said at least one identification parameter of the associated landline in a network access database.
