Administration of computer telephony applications that are connected to a private branch exchange via a local network
First Claim
1. A method for importing data into a network having a circuit switched component and a packet switched component comprising:
- establishing a connection from a first terminal to a domain controller having an application programming interface for telephone applications service provider (TSP), the first terminal being connected to an exchange device, the exchange device being connected to the circuit switched component and the packet switched component of the network, and the TSP being connected to the packet switched component of the network, the connection being established via a method comprising;
exchanging a security provision between the first terminal and the exchange device in accordance with an authorization method of the exchange device;
providing access to the exchange device and the TSP; and
importing data to the TSP; and
wherein access to the TSP is provided when access to the exchange device is provided via the authorization method of the exchange device.

Abstract
An administration of telephony applications conventionally using domain controller-based access authorization methods is provided such to eliminate the need for these methods. In a network where terminal devices are connected to time division multiplexed or packet-oriented network components, a terminal device establishes a communication link to a terminal device-specific adaptation for telephony applications via an interface for telephony applications, and the authorization for importing data is verified. Data is imported via the communication link to affected applications or affected services of the network. Any terminal device can be used to import the data and that no special authorizations are required for access as the proprietary/license keys that are exchanged between the terminal device and the exchange and the domain controller provide protection from unauthorized access to the exchange and to the local network connected thereto. For accessing the exchange and the domain controller, only one authorization check method is required.
