System for administration and management of network from remote or central station through an operator interface which prepares and stores the management orders for execution
First Claim
1. A method for forming administration order program modules in a network management central that is connected to an operating control and which is connectable to communication systems for a remote control administration via a communication network, comprising the steps of:
- storing an operator task list, including allocated prepared administration program modules and representing different operator tasks, in the network management central;
selecting an operator task under control of a user interface, said operator task being selected from the operator task list visualized at the operating control using an interrogation routine implemented in the operating control, and interrogating operator-prescribable administration and maintenance parameters and job-associated information for the communication systems to be administered under control of the user interface and entering said parameters and said job-associated information into a respective prepared administration program module for forming an administration order program module;
said job-associated information consisting of at least communication system information identifying the communication system to be administered, job information defining the respective operator task, and type of job information determining the type of the administration order, and being stored in a job library file;
storing the allocated administration order program module, in a job file memory of the network management central;
due to the job library file entry of a job management routine, informing the allocated administration order program module that the administration order program modules are transmitted using the job management routine to the communication systems identified by the communication system information, that the administration and maintenance instructions of the administration order program modules are supplied to the administration program modules in the appertaining communication systems that interpret and process the administration and maintenance instructions; and
communicating results of the processing via the communication network to the network management central and storing the communicating results in the network management central.

Abstract
In a network management central (NMZ), which is connected to communication systems (KS) for remote control administration via a communication network (KM), prepared administration program modules (APM'"'"') are selected under the control of the user interface with the assistance of an interrogation routine (AFR). Operator-prescribable administration and maintenance parameters (p) as well as job-associated information (ksi, afi, ati) for the communication systems (KS) to be administered are interrogated under the control of the user interface and are entered into the prepared administration program module (APM'"'"') for the purpose of forming an administration order program module (APM). With the assistance of a job management routine (AVR), the administration order program modules (APM) formed in this fashion are communicated via the communication network (KN) to the communication systems (KS) to be administered and are processed in this communication system.
