First Claim
1. An apparatus for automatically notifying a network administrator of a mismatch between a current software version level in a telecommunications switch and a corresponding entry in a database, comprising:
- a computer for querying the telecommunications switch for the current software version level of the switch and for querying the database, wherein the database is associated with a switch translation system and the database includes at least one table comprising a plurality of fields for storing an entry, the entry identifying a software version level of the switch; and
wherein the computer compares the current software version level of the switch with the stored database entry identifying the software version level of the switch.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium for automatically notifying a network administrator of a mismatch between a current software version level in a telecommunications switch and a corresponding entry in a database. The apparatus includes a computer for querying the telecommunications switch for the current software version level of the switch and for querying the database, wherein the database is associated with a switch translation system and the database includes an entry associated with the software version level of the switch. The computer compares the current software version level of the switch with the database entry associated with the software version level of the switch. The method and the computer readable medium include establishing communication between a host computer and a telecommunications switch; querying the switch for the current software version level of the switch; establishing communications between the host computer and a switch translation system; querying a database associated with the switch translation system for a corresponding entry in the database associated with the software version level of the switch; storing the current software version level of the switch in a data store associated with the host computer; and storing the database entry in a data store associated with the host computer.

20. A computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a computer to perform a method of automatically notifying a network administrator of a mismatch between a current software version level in a telecommunications switch and a corresponding entry in a database, the method comprising:
-
establishing communication between a host computer and the telecommunications switch querying the switch for the current software version level of the switch; establishing communications between the host computer and a switch translation system; querying a database associated with the switch translation system for a corresponding entry in the database for identifying the software version level of the switch, wherein the database includes atleast one table comprising a plurality of fields for storing the entry; storing the current software version level of the switch in a data store associated with the host computer; and storing the database entry in a data store associated with the host computer.
