Abstract

The method of the invention for checking the identity of devices is implemented in a device management system in a mobile telecommunication network. The system comprises devices to be managed, a server side device management application, a client side device management application, a database, and an interface between said device management applications. The method is mainly characterized in that a device management session is initiated via said interface, before or after which said client side device management application reads equipment information, and sends it to the interface. The interface compares the equipment information sent with previously stored equipment information for the subscription from which the equipment information was sent by means of subscription information for said subscription and reporting said comparison result to the server side device management application. The system of the invention comprises a component on the client side for reading the equipment identity, an interface for checking identity of devices from a device identity repository, and a database implementing a device identity repository.
