Abstract:
A method for coupling telecommunications terminal end points to a hybrid telecommunications system, comprising the steps of:a) providing a hybrid telecommunications system containing a first telecommunications sub-system and a second telecommunications sub-system for transmitting system messages;b) providing in the second telecommunications sub-system having a first telecommunications interface and a second telecommunications interface for transmitting the system messages and for transmitting sub-system messages of the second telecommunications sub-system;c) connecting the second telecommunications sub-system by telecommunication at least via the first telecommunications interface to the first telecommunications sub-system;d) coupling the telecommunications terminal end points via the second telecommunications interface to the telecommunications system in that telecommunications connections for transmitting the system messages and the sub-system messages are set up by primary procedures which run between the first telecommunications interface and the second telecommunications interface;e) storing, when the primary procedures are completed, connection information which indicates that the telecommunications connections have been set up in the telecommunications interfaces;f) carrying out a secondary procedure, in which intermediate information is formed from first connection information which is stored in the respective telecommunications interface and indicates a first telecommunications connection;g) carrying out a first primary procedure for setting up a second telecommunications connection in the two telecommunications interfaces; andh) including the intermediate information from a respective telecommunications interface of the first and second telecommunications interfaces in the first primary procedure such that, when the first primary procedure is completed, the second connection information, which indicates that the second telecommunications connection has been set up is stored in the respective telecommunications interface.
