Method and apparatus for remote control influencing of ISDN performance features
First Claim
1. A method for remote control influencing of performance features for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) communication terminal equipment in an ISDN communication network respectively connected to ISDN communication systems via an ISDN communication network connection, the method comprising the steps of:
- controlling a call setup in the ISDN communication network for connections between ISDN communication terminals by signaling information communicated via the ISDN communication network connection;
initiating a call setup from a first ISDN communication terminal equipment to a second ISDN communication terminal equipment whose performance features are to be modified;
inserting a user--user information element into the signaling information, the user--user information element communicating at least setting information, that influences a respective service, and activation information to the second ISDN communication terminal equipment;
subsequently ending the call setup; and
automatically initializing, by the activation information, the influencing of a respective performance feature of the respective service in the second ISDN communication terminal equipment corresponding to the communicated setting information.

Abstract
In the method, a call setup in an ISDN communication network (ISDN) is initiated from a further communication terminal equipment (KEX) to a communication terminal equipment (KE) whose performance features are to be influenced. At least one setting information (esi) that influences a performance feature as well as an activation signal (aki) is communicated to the communication terminal equipment (KE) via a user--user information element (uui) that is standardized in the draft prETS 300 286 and inserted into the ISDN signaling information (si), and the call setup is subsequently ended. Initiated by the activation information (aki) and during the set up connection or after the cleardown of the connection, the respective performance feature of a service is automatically influenced in the communication terminal equipment (KE) according to the communicated setting information (esi). A remote control of performance features of services in ISDN communication networks is possible with the method.
