Abstract
A user interface for a telecommunication exchange in which the user gives control commands via the interface from an external terminal to the telecommunication exchange of which commands at least some are associated with parameters. The user interface includes control software which forwards the control command supplied by the user to the exchange for execution and gives the user instructions relating to the commands. In order that the user interface could more easily be transferred in a changed environment, the data on the types and the allowed value ranges of the parameters of the commands used in the user interface and the alphanumerical data relating to the instructions given to the user are separated from a program code of the control software into a separate database. The control software also includes a server program block communicating with the database block, as a response to a check request it has received, which checks the data the user has supplied to the exchange and as a response to an instruction request, generates instruction to be given to the user at each time.
