MONITORING THE NETWORK
Summary: This procedure provides information that enables the Network Administrator to successfully monitor a Cellworx STN network via the Cellworx Vision Graphical User Interface (GUI). The information provided directs the user to pertinent sections and procedures within the User’s manual. Brief functions and features of the software are provided as well as layout and monitoring suggestions, and troubleshooting directives.
1.NETWORK LAYOUT VIEW
1.1The Cellworx Vision GUI allows the user to reposition NE icons on the screen for custom tailored displays of individual networks. Once NE icons are repositioned on the screen, the Save Icon Layout procedure should be performed to retain the new positions of the NEs, otherwise, the icons will return to the

2.ICON ALARM INDICATIONS
2.1The NE icons displayed on the Cellworx Vision GUI provide at a glance alarm indications through color changes. If a node is operating within tolerances and thresholds set by the user (or default), the icon will appear green (normal operation). If a node has crossed a minor threshold or generated a minor alarm condition, the icon color changes to yellow. Similarly, a major alarm changes the icon to orange and a critical alarm changes the icon to red. If an icon appears blue in color, this indicates that the NMIC has lost communication with the node and the fiber connection between them may also change in color indicating a problem.
