During establishing a communication or power characteristics, an idle state is activated such that a communication terminal is at least temporarily unattainable. The idle state results in reducing electric power consumption in the communication terminal for which switchings off such as Always-on-Device are not provided.

Device and method for energy-saving operation of a communication terminal

A connection addressed via a directory number is set up to a terminal by setting up a partial connection to a communication device, with determined additional information being conveyed to the communication device as part of the partial connection. As a result of said partial connection and depending on the additional information conveyed, the partial connection is further switched to the terminal by the communication device.

Method for setting up a connection to a terminal via a communication device, and a terminal and a communication device for implementing the method

The invention relates to a method for the automatic configuration of a communications device using a reserved identification number, at least one network node device, which administers an associated subnetwork of a network, at least one virtual network, with which the communications device is associated, whereby data packets exchanged within the virtual network are tagged with the reserved identification number. According to the inventive method, a network address of the subnetwork is determined by a network element arranged in the network. A configuration message adjusted with the network address of the subnetwork as the target address is transmitted by the network element to the network node device, which message is transmitted by the network node device to the virtual network as a broadcast message tagged with the reserved identification number. The broadcast message is received by the communications device and the communications device is configured using the identification number.

Method for the automatic configuration of a communications device

A method for providing absence information in a telecommunication system comprising several subscribers, wherein the absence information is produced and captured by a first subscriber terminal. The presence information is transmitted to a switching node and stored therein. The switching node transmits the absence information to a second subscriber terminal such that the absence information is continuously available. Known absence text and station guarding services are used to produce and store absence information.
