Abstract: A method and arrangement in a first web server (202) of a first local network (200) for snaring local services with other local networks (204). The first web server (202) detects (2:1) local services configured in one or more devices (D1, D2, D3 . . . ) present in the first local network, and creates (2:2) an aggregated service record (I) that includes a selection of detected local services to become available remotely for devices in the other local networks. The first web server (202) then distributes (2:3) the aggregated service record to web servers (WS) of the other local networks for exposure to devices in the other local networks. Thereby, users in the other networks (204) can discover what services are available in the first local network (200) without requiring a connection to the first local network.

Abstract: A method and arrangement in a media server (300a) in a first local network (300), of providing remote access to media content stored in a second local network (302). The media server sends a subscription request (3:2) to a presence server (304) for information on media content in the second local network, substantially based on the existing presence service framework. In response thereto, a presence service notification is received (3:3) from the presence server with information referring to remote media content in the second local network that has been published at the presence server. The media server then retrieves (3:4) a content list with available remote media content according to the received presence service notification, and presents (3:5) information from said content list on what media content is available in the second local network, to a device (300c) in the first local network.

Abstract: A cellular radio communications network uses multicast messages for transmitting page requests over the network. Thus, a single message is sent from a paging gateway to a group of addressed base stations, which respond by transmitting paging messages over the air interface. The multicast group for receiving page requests may include all base stations, in which case the base stations must be capable of determining whether they are specifically addressed, and should respond by transmitting a paging message.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing a vendor- and version-independent information model that a cellular telephone base station can use to communicate its capabilities in a plug and play fashion to a network element is disclosed. The information model can also be used to communicate configuration information back to the base station from the network element. The capabilities and configuration information is automatically communicated and utilized, thus reducing the possibility of human operator error in configuring and pre-configuring new or modified base station equipment.
