Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method of managing network element (NE) settings in a communications network. The invention comprises defining a proxy (AC) for the network element (NE) to be managed; loading information on the present settings of said network element (NE) to said proxy (AC); loading information on the new settings of said network element (NE) to said proxy (AC); comparing the new settings of the network element (NE) with its present settings in the proxy (AC); and if the new settings of the network element (NE) differ from its present settings, generating management operations in the proxy (AC) for replacing the present settings with the new settings in the network element (NE); and updating the new settings to the network element (NE) by means of said management operations at the moment determined by the network management element.
