A service interruption manager function, SIMF, receives information that indicates that lawful interception, LI, service interruption associated with an LI task has occurred. Based on the received information, a determination is made of a status regarding the LI service interruption associated with the LI task, for example a determination whether the LI service interruption associated with the LI task has a current status that is any of: terminated, ongoing or initiated. A message is then transmitted, to a delivery function, DF, via an HI2 interface, the message comprising at least the determined status regarding the LI service interruption.

Managing service interrupts in lawful interception

A system () includes a telecommunication network node (), a first unit () configured for sending information () relating to the status of the node (), and a second unit () configured for receiving information () for controlling the node (). A management unit () of the node () is connected with the second unit () and is configured for controlling the node () according to the information () received by the second unit (). The form of the information () sent by the first unit () and/or the information () received by the second unit () either does not include, or includes more than, only text. The invention also relates to use of such a system (), and methods and computer programs implementing the invention. In one embodiment, the first unit includes a camera configured for taking pictures of at least an outer surface of the telecommunication network node. This enables sending information of the telecommunication network node to be controlled, monitored and/or managed, so as to enable the detection, for instance, of any light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which would therefore provide evidence of an abnormal condition within telecommunication network node.
