Abstract
A generic information model for configuration, control and management of auxiliary resources within a telecommunication network. The information mode comprises a hierarchical structure of objects classes: a network object class, a managed element class, and a fabric object class. The network object class represents the telecommunication network. The managed element object class describes the physical sites of fabric within the telecommunication network. The fabric object class describes the physical exchanges used for switching in the telecommunication network, as well as devices connected to individual exchanges. The information model is applied to a switched telecommunication network to provide an auxiliary resource pool class and an auxiliary resource connection termination point object class to allow for dynamic handling of auxiliary resources within the switched network. Centralized handling of the auxiliary resources is also completed by the invention.
