1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a telephony system, comprising:
- detecting an error condition in a network component, said error condition including an error identifier and an identifier for the network component;
obtaining electronic information corresponding to problem resolution techniques for the error identifier and equipment of a type of the network component;
displaying the electronic information to an administrator in order to facilitate resolution of the error condition; and
executing a computer component to perform the problem resolution techniques by utilizing the identifier for the network component.

Abstract
A method and system for monitoring the statuses of components within a telephony system, especially a cable-based telephony system, and to monitor quality issues within such system. By determining how components with the system are behaving, a network administrator may be able to troubleshoot problems remotely using a known set of problem resolution techniques. Such techniques may be applied stepwise by the administrator or may be automated through computer intervention.
