Abstract

The invention pertains to a mobile terminal for servicing a telecommunication system, wherein the telecommunication system comprises a system controller and at least one module and/or at least one interface port (that is externally accessible in the inserted state of the module), wherein the mobile terminal features an identification device in order to identify a module or an interface port. The invention further pertains to a utilization of such a mobile terminal, as well as an arrangement consisting of a telecommunication system and such a mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal for servicing a telecommunication system, wherein the telecommunication system comprises a system controller (9) and at least one module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) and/or at least one interface port (26, 28) (that is externally accessible in the inserted state of the module),

characterized in that

the mobile terminal features an identification device for identifying a module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) or an interface port (26, 28),

the mobile terminal features a communication device (3) in order to communicate with the system controller (9) and to receive module-specific or port-specific data in dependence on the identified module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) or the identified interface port (26, 28), and

the mobile terminal features a display unit (2) for displaying module-specific or port-specific information.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1, characterized in that the mobile terminal is realized in the form of a smartphone (1), a tablet PC, a notebook or a laptop.

3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) or the interface port (26, 28) is provided with at least one identification (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e).

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 3, characterized in that a barcode (1-D, 2-D or 3-D) is used as identification (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e).

5. The mobile terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the identification device features a camera in order to allow the identification of a module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20), an interface port (26, 28) or an identification (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e) by means of image recognition.

6. The mobile terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the module-specific or port-specific data consist of performance data, the alarm history or wiring information of the identified module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) or port (26, 28).

7. A utilization of a mobile terminal according to one of the preceding claims for servicing a telecommunication system, wherein the telecommunication system comprises a system controller (9) and at least one module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) and/or at least one interface port (26, 28).

8. The utilization of a mobile terminal according to claim 7, characterized in that the telecommunication system consists of a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system.

9. An arrangement consisting of a telecommunication system and a mobile terminal according to one of claims 1 to 6.
