Method for configurating a base station network
First Claim
1. A method for configurating a telecommunication network, preparing a network element for operation and for giving an address to a network element, in which telecommunication network every network element has an address of its own, characterized in that the method comprises steps in which each network element is made a subnetwork of its own (301), a common network-wide IP classification is selected (302), an IP address is created for each network element (303), a configuration file is created which comprises at least IP address information in combination with a network element site identifier (304), the said configuration file is stored in a control device (305), and the said configuration file is loaded from the control device into the network element on the basis of the site identifier (306).

Abstract
This invention relates to telecommunication network planning and network control as well as to network installation procedures. In particular the invention relates to a method for configurating a telecommunication network, preparing a network element for operation, and giving an address to a network element, where each network element in the telecommunication network has an address of its own. The method according to the invention comprises the following steps in which each network element is made a subnetwork of its own (301), a common network-wide IP classification is selected (302), an IP address is created for each network element (303), a configuration file is created which comprises at least IP address information in combination with a network element site identifier (304), the said configuration file is stored in a control device (305), and the said configuration file is loaded from the control device into the network element on the basis of the site identifier (306). The invention further relates to a system for configurating a telecommunication network.
