Abstract:
1. A method for determining deviations of a part of an end-system message of modular structure generated in a hierarchically-structured end system of a telecommunications device structured and based on an OSI reference model by comparison with a reference message comprising the steps of: reading in a reference message, reading in an end-system message containing information of different layers according to the OSI reference model generated in the end system, performing a message-structure analysis of the reference message, performing a message-structure analysis of the generated end-system message, displaying both structural units of the reference message and structural units of the generated end-system message, selecting a displayed structural unit of the reference message, selecting a displayed structural unit of the end-system message, determining deviations of the selected structural unit of the end-system message by comparison with the selected structural unit of the reference message, after the respective selections of the respective structural units, based on a structure and values for parameters of structural units, and outputting of individual structural units of the selected structural unit of the end-system message deviating from the selected structural unit of the reference message indicating values of parameters of the respective individual structural units of the selected structural unit of the end-system message generated in the end system in a first region of a screen display, wherein, in a second area of the screen display, the structural units of the end-system message are shown giving details for all structural units of the end-system message in the form of a table, and, in a third area of the screen display, the structural units of the reference message are shown giving details for all structural units of the end-system message in the form of a table, and wherein, in the second area and the third area, in each case the byte assigned to a structural unit within the end-system message or the reference message respectively is given.
