A telecommunications switch management system which contains a system manager building block in communication with a remote computer. The system manager building block is also in communication with a system management interface building block, which contains a command interpreter building block and a system command interface building block. The command interpreter building block is in communication with the system manager building block and the system command interface building block. The system command interface building block contains at least one client building block. The client building blocks located in the system command interface building block are each in communication with a corresponding server building block, each of which in turn is in communication with the telecommunications switching system. The system manager building block provides communication between the remote computer and the system management interface building block. The system management interface building block provides communication between the system manager building block and the one or more servers which are in communication with the telecommunications switching system.

Telecommunications switch management system

A graphic user interface launcher for providing graphic displays for enabling one or more users to access a telecommunications switching system for any desired purpose, such as to monitor, control or reconfigure the telecommunications switching system. Users may access the telecommunications switching system from any remote location using a standard remote computer having a browser. The remote computer uses the browser and a communications link to access a remote server which contains the application program necessary for a user of the remote computer to remotely access the telecommunications switching system. The remote server then provides a copy of the application program to the remote computer, typically in the form of a Java Applet. The remote computer runs the application program, typically in a stand-alone capacity, and accesses a system manager building block via a second communications link. The system manager building block is part of an overall telecommunications switch management system, of which the GUI launcher is also a part. The system manager building block is also in communication with another portion of the telecommunications switch management system, namely a system management interface software building block, which implements communication between the remote computer and the telecommunications switching system.

Graphic user interface system for a telecommunications switch management system

A full group privileges access mechanism which provides security protection for a telecommunications switching system which is accessible by users using a computer. The full group privileges access mechanism contains storage files which store information related to authorized users, a system manager building block which is in communication with the computer, a system security manager client building block which is in communication with the system manager building block, and a system security manager server building block which is in communication with the system security manager client building block. The system manager building block in combination with the system security manager client building block and the system security manager server building block are in communication with the storage files which contain information related to the authorized users. The system manager building block in combination with the system security manager client building block and the system security manager server building block can access the storage file information related to the authorized users in order to determine whether, and to what extent, users can access the telecommunications switching system.

Full group privileges access system providing user access security protection for a telecommunications switching system

A method for providing a graphical shelf navigator user interface which provides a combination of graphical displays and menus which enable users to easily and conveniently perform functions on a telecommunications switching system. The graphical shelf navigator displays on a computer a first display which has menus and/or graphics that contain different image portions. The different image portions can be selected by the user, and correspond to the portions of the telecommunications switching system which the user can select to perform functions on. The first display also has menus and/or graphics containing additional image portions which can be selected by the user, and which correspond to the functions that can be performed on the selected portions of the telecommunications switching system. The graphical shelf navigator then displays on a computer a second display which contains one or more configuration lines that the user can configure as desired, in order to implement the function selected to be performed on the selected portion of the telecommunications switching system.
