In order to integrate repeater management with network management in a wireless telecommunication network, a database is added to the network management center (NMC), said database including the data on the network repeaters (R1, R2, R3), which include for each repeater (R1, R2, R3) at least the identifier of the base station (BTS) corresponding to the repeater concerned; a repeater plan is made for changing repeater parameters to correspond to the changed configuration of the base stations; and each repeater is sent an update message (B1, B2, B3) containing parameters for the reconfiguring of the repeater (R1, R2, R3) to correspond to the repeater plan. The invention also relates to a network management system in which the method of the invention can be applied. In addition, the invention relates to a repeater, which can be utilized in the method and system of the invention.
