ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a client station and method for controlling a telecommunications system, the telecommunications system including a central station and a server station. The server station is arranged to maintain an object model thereon representing the central station, and is connectable to the central station to send control signals to the central station in accordance with the object model. The client station comprises a communications manager for establishing a connection with the server station to enable communication between the client station and the server station, thereby to manage the object model maintained on the server. The client station has a memory for storing a portion of the object model, and a processor for processing commands received by the client station to determine whether status information associated with each object in the portion of the object model should be altered, and for altering the status information based on said commands.
