Network Management Method, a System and a Device
First Claim
1. A method of managing an equipment by a management device in a communications network, said management device managing a management information base in the form of referenced objects conforming to a reference specification, said equipment exchanging management data in the form of data structures indicated by patterns each of which corresponds to a respective referenced object and is assigned a respective identifier, wherein, for managing a given object, the management device and the equipment store same synchronization information associating the reference of the given object and the identifier of the corresponding pattern, said method comprising the following steps for managing the given object:
- sending from the equipment to the management device the corresponding pattern to which the respective identifier is assigned and a data ticket having a structure indicated by said pattern and assigned said identifier;
translating the pattern received by the management device into the respective referenced object as a function of said synchronization information and then, on the basis of the translation, storing the data of the received ticket in the management information base of the device.

Abstract
A device manages a management database in the form of objects to be managed that are referenced according to a reference specification. Equipment exchanges management data in the form of data structures indicated by patterns each corresponding to a respective referenced object and being assigned a respective identifier. In order to manage a given object, the device and the equipment store synchronization information associating the reference of the given object and the corresponding pattern identifier. In order to manage a given object, the equipment sends the corresponding pattern assigned the respective identifier and a data ticket which has a structure indicated by said pattern and is assigned said identifier. The device translates the pattern into the respective referenced object as a function of the identifier of said pattern and the synchronization information, and then stores the data from the received ticket in the management database.
