Map Applications Overview
The map applications provide a redesigned GUI with focus on the visual representation of the configuration on the map to provide quick and easily comprehensible overview of the system. These applications enable users to analyze the configuration and operation of the network from a high-level perspective and if needed, to gradually go down further in detail.
The map applications have a common structure and layout, providing a similar user experience through all of them. It means that independently of the application the layout and basic interactions are the same.

Overall Map Application Layout (MPLS example)
The following applications provide support of the map:
• Alarm Management map – providing observability of all Alarms, sections, and network elements.
• Circuit Emulation map – providing possibility for creation and monitoring of circuit emulation services on network elements with supported circuit emulation units.
• Teleprotection map – providing possibility to creation and monitoring of teleprotection services on network elements with supported teleprotection units.
• MPLS map – providing possibility to manage MPLS services – configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting on network elements in the ENP domain.
• TDM map – providing the view TDM-based services, circuits, trails, SNCs, sections and NEs. It also provides a command for starting the legacy Networking Package application for service creation.
• Element Management map – providing overview on all network elements and sections and access to the legacy NEM Network Browser and NEM Configurator.
• Network Monitoring with Health Monitor map – providing maps and details views of network health status, monitoring sessions, health metrics, and performance data including graphical presentation.
• Time Synchronization map – providing functionalities to monitor and configure time synchronization of network elements.
• DCN map – providing functions to managing data communication networks, VLANs, OSPF areas, VPLS, tunnels, and related elelments.
The map applications support different types of maps:
• Network graph,
• DCN graph,
• E-Tree graph,
• User maps.
The network graph, DCN graph, and E-Tree graph are automatically generated graphs of network elements, sections, and/or services. Only network elements having sections between them are displayed.
The user maps are manually created maps using the Map Manager application.
