Abstract
In a system for controlling and monitoring first telecommunication terminal devices coupled to private branch exchanges or second telecommunication terminal devices coupled to long-distance networks, at least one application-related conversion unit is provided together with at least one control information router and protocol conversion unit. The application-related conversion units are used for protocol conversion of data supplied by application programs to a uniform system-internal data format. The function of the control information routers is the reception and forwarding of commands and messages. The protocol conversion units are provided for the conversion of the uniform system-internal data format to domain-specific communication protocols.
