•
Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) windows are accessible on both physical and logical EM objects, in the form of FCAPS menu options that appear when you
The EM uses Telecom Graphics Objects (TGO) in the Map Viewer application. TGO is a TeleManagement Forum (TMF) sponsored initiative to provide standard graphical representations for network topology maps.
A TGO displays additional information icons on top of the existing object icons displayed in Map Viewer. The additional icons indicate a variety of information (for example, information on the state of the object or event status information). The following figure provides an example of a TGO.
Figure 1-3 Sample Telecom Graphical Object
An object is a representation of a network element. For example, the object could be a node, a shelf, a shelf item, or a link. Each object shown in the right window provides pictorial cues which provide information about its associated network element. The information can be structural information; for example, a network element name or state and event information such as “out of service.”
Each object can display the following information about its associated network element:
•Object
•Object
•Object
–Event unacknowledged count
–Event unacknowledged state
–Event outstanding state
The following figure shows an example of a chassis map displaying a few of the TGO icons that could appear.
