Utility server
First Claim
1. Process to support the installation of first program codes on network elements of one or more telecommunication networks, where in the process a utility server central for two or more network management systems stores a set of first program codes intended to be integrated in second program codes installed on network elements, the utility server restricts access to the set of first program codes and after performance of an authentication procedure allows the two or more network management systems access to first program codes of the set of first codes, one of the two or more network management systems on access selects a first program code from the set of first program codes, the utility server then transmits this selected first program code to a network management server of this network management system, and the selected first program code is transmitted to one or more network elements of the telecommunication network of this network management system and is integrated in the second program code installed on the respective network element.

Abstract
The invention relates to a process to support the installation of first program codes on network elements of one or more telecommunication networks, and a utility server and a network management server of a network management system for performance of the process. The utility server stores a set of first program codes intended to be integrated in second program codes installed on network elements. The utility server restricts access to the set of first program codes and allows the two or more network management systems access to first program codes of the set of first program codes after performance of an authentication procedure. One of the network management systems on access selects a first program code from the set of first program codes. The utility server transmits the selected first program code to the network management server of this network management system. The selected first program code is transmitted by the network management server to one or more network elements of the telecommunication network of this network management system and integrated in the second program code installed on the network element concerned.

5. Utility server to support the installation of first program codes on network elements of a telecommunication network, where
the utility server is equipped with a first memory unit in which is stored a set of first program codes intended to be integrated in second program codes installed on network elements, the utility server is fitted with a control unit designed to restrict access to the set of first program codes and after performance of an authentication procedure allows one or more network management systems access to first program codes of the set of first program codes, the control unit is further designed so that on access it allows the one or more network management systems to select a first program code from the set of first program codes, and the control unit is further designed so that it sends the selected first program code to a network management server of this network management system which is suitable for transmitting the selected first program code to one or more network elements of the telecommunication network of the network management system for integration in the second program code installed on the network element concerned.

14. Network management server of a network management system of a telecommunication network to support the installation of first program codes on network elements of the telecommunication network, where the network management server is fitted with a control unit designed to contact a utility server on which is stored a set of first program codes intended to be integrated in second program codes installed on the network elements, and that it performs an authentication procedure on access to the first program code of the set of first program codes,
the control unit is further designed so that on access to the utility server it selects a first program code from the set of first program codes, the control unit is further designed that from the utility server it receives the first selected program code and stores this in a memory unit of the network management server, and the control unit is further designed so that it transmits the selected first program code to one or more network elements of the telecommunication network for integration in the second program code installed on the respective network element.
