Network management server
First Claim
1. Method for supporting the management of a communication network (KN1), characterized in that the setting-up of a communication connection between a mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) of a subscriber (A, B, C) of the communication network (KN1) and a network management server (NMS1) of the communication network (KN1) is initiated by the mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3), that the network management server (NMS1) communicates with the mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) via the initiated communication connection by means of a WAP protocol, that the network management server (NMS1) determines the identity of the subscriber (A, B, C) and checks the authorisation of the ascertained subscriber (A, B, C) by means of an authorisation procedure, that with satisfactory authorisation the network management server (NMS1) allows and facilitates access by means of the WAP protocol for the mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) to data assigned to the ascertained subscriber (A, B, C), of a subscriber management database (SMDB) of the network management system (NMS) of the communication network (KN1), in which the type of services within the communication network subscribed to by the subscriber, and respective assigned parameters for the management of the communication network, are specified by the network management system.

Abstract
The invention concerns a process for supporting the management of a communication network (KN1) and a network management server for implementing the process. The setting-up of a communication connection between a mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) of a subscriber (A, B, C) of the communication network (KN1) and a network management server (NMS) of the communication network (KN1) is initiated by the mobile terminal (TE1 to TE3). The network management server (NMS) communicates with the mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) via the initiated communication connection by means of a WAP protocol. The network management server (NMS1) determines the identity of the subscriber (A, B, C) and checks the authorisation of the ascertained subscriber (A, B, C) by means of an authorisation procedure. With satisfactory authorisation, the network management server (NMS1) allows and facilitates for the mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) access by means of the WAP protocol to data assigned to the ascertained subscriber (A, B, C), in a subscriber management database (SMDB) of the network management system (NMS) of the communication network (KN1), in which the type of services subscribed to by the subscriber within the communication network, and respective assigned parameters for the management of the communication network, are specified by the network management system.

- 8. Network management server (NMS1) for supporting the management of a communication network (KN1), characterised in that the network management server (NMS1) is provided with an interface unit (INT) for communication with mobile radio terminals (TE1 to TE3) of subscribers (A, B, C) of the communication network (KN1) by means of a WAP protocol, that the network management server (NMS1) is provided with a control unit (AU) that is configured so that when the setting-up of a communication connection from a mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) of a subscriber (A, B, C) of the communication network (KN1) to the network management server (NMS1) is initiated, the control unit determines the identity of the subscriber (A, B, C) and checks the authorisation of the ascertained subscriber (A, B, C) by means of an authorisation procedure, and that the control unit is further configured so that, with satisfactory authorisation it allows and facilitates access by means of a WAP protocol for the mobile radio terminal (TE1 to TE3) initiating the communication connection to data assigned to the ascertained subscriber (A, B, C), of a subscriber management database (SMDB) of the network management system (NMS) of the communication network (KN1), in which subscriber management database the type of services within the communication network subscribed to by the subscriber, and respective assigned parameters for the management of the communication network, are specified by the network management system.
