A method of monitoring of monitor objects in a computer-integrated telecommunications environment can include, at an initial start-up phase: upon a first-time establishment of an association between a first computing device and a switching device using a communication link, sending a first message from the first computing device to the switching device to request an identification for all monitor objects that are to be monitored by the first computing device; and in response to the first message, sending a second message from the switching device to the first computing device. The second message can refer to a third message to follow. The third message can be sent from the switching device to the first computing device that refers back to the second message and includes a list of all monitor objects allocated to the first computing device.
