Network elements in telecommunications networks are managed via an operating system which is connected to the network elements. The operating system is formed from a large number of manager applications which communicate with the network elements. In the course of such communication, it is possible to provide for the authentication of a manager application to be checked by means of a network element. According to the invention, this authentication check is carried out centrally in the network element for various communication protocols, with access being made to a central authentication databank

Method for verifying the authentication of a manager application in a telecommunications management network operating system by means of a network element and network element suitable therefor

The invention is directed to a system and a method for the configuration and/or parameterization of diagnostic devices for test objects. The system includes a first data object having a collection of technological test object parameters of the test object and its components, and a second data object having a collection of technological parameters of hardware components of the diagnostic device. The system further includes a first program object containing data sentences for the assignment of at least test object parameters and technological parameters of hardware components, and a second program object for processing the data sentences assigned in the first program object. Via the data and program objects, a knowledge base is created that results in a configuration mainly automatically controlled by the knowledge of the system and/or parameterization of the diagnostic device including the test structure and evaluation. In this manner, the cost of such preparations is significantly reduced.
