Abstract
In a method for loading software in communication systems with non-redundant, decentralized equipment so that the availability of a communication system for the connected subscribers remains assured during the loading process of programs and data, there is a requirement to maintain switching operations during the loading process. Given the presence of V5.2 interfaces, the loading occurs such that the V5.2 communication channels are first rerouted onto the redundant system half. During this time, the new software can then be loaded into the other system half. When the loading into this system half is concluded, then it is placed in operation and all V5.2 communication channels are routed onto this system half. The new software can then be loaded into the remaining system half.
