[0005] It has proven to be a disadvantage in different installations that the service of monitoring the status of subscribers within a communication network is limited to the subscribers on a single communication device or to the users of a small number of communication devices comprised in a network, respectively

Embodiment Construction

[0018] All components B1-B6, C1-C6, D1-D6 of the communication network are interconnected via a packet-switched network (IP network). The network is here a hybrid of ring and star connections. In principle, other mesh connections are also possible, as long as it is ensured that the components B1 - B6 , C1 - C6 , D1 - D6 can exchange data with each other either directly or indirectly, that is to say via intermediate connections of other components. In the figures, the line segments between components B1-B6, C1-C6, D1-D6 represent data connections. The components B1-B6 configured as servers can provide switching functions in the communication network. This function is also called the gatekeeper function. In the gatekeeper, a direct dial number, which is also known in circuit-switched telephony, is assigned to a network address (IP address). That is to say, a gatekeeper, for example component B1, is used to establish a communication link between two components C6, D1. However...

Abstract

In a communications network, one component at a time can be monitored by at least one other component. To this end, a monitoring task is issued by a monitoring component, whereby this monitoring task contains the address of said component. Each component, which can be monitored and which monitors, is provided with communications means for carrying out direct data exchange. The monitoring component transmits the monitoring task directly to the component, which is to be monitored and which comprises both storage means for storing the addresses contained in the monitoring tasks as well as monitoring means for monitoring the state. A communications means is used to directly transmit a state to be monitored to the monitoring component at least in the event of a state change.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for monitoring components in a communication network. Background technique [0002] It is known that in modern communication networks it is necessary to monitor, for example, the switching status of other users of the same communication device. Therefore, it is displayed for each user on the seat of the communication device by means of an assigned light control panel or by means of a PC application whether he is free or occupied or in a call state. [0003] In addition, terminals on the communication device are often equipped with direct call keys, with which other users of the same communication device can be called by pressing a button. Most of these direct call buttons are equipped with LEDs or other display elements, whereby the switching status of the relevant subscriber is displayed by lighting up or flashing the LEDs. [0004] If several PC applications are running on a communication device, the information ab...
