3.7 How Do I Use Network Maps?
The Network Map is organized into a multilevel hierarchy that corresponds to the structure of the
Domain Explorer and Subnetwork Explorer trees. The Network Map hierarchy consists of management
domains, subnetworks, groups, and NEs, which are displayed graphically.
Network map backgrounds are provided by default as part of CTM, and are used to display a
geographical layout of the network.
The Network Map consists of three areas:
• The right side displays a map with the individual groups, NEs, and link icons.
• The upper left side displays the position of the map on the right side with respect to a larger world
map.
• The lower left side displays the domain, or group properties, including the number of alarms and the
ID.
This section contains the following information:
• 3.7.1 Customizing a Network Map
• 3.7.2 Viewing a Node in the Network Map
• 3.7.3 Adjusting the Zoom Level or Pan Position
• 3.7.4 Modifying a Node Icon or a Map Background Image
• 3.7.5 Saving Changes to the Network Map
3.7.1 Customizing a Network Map
Use the Edit menu and toolbar buttons to customize your network map. Choose the Enable Drag toolbar
button to enable drag-and-drop functionality and easily display network partitioning. Other Edit menu
options allow you to enable the display of off-view icons, change geographic backgrounds for the
selected view, select a layout format for the icons, adjust the zoom level, or choose icons to represent
specific nodes.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer or Subnetwork Explorer tree, click a node and choose File > Network Map (or
click the Open Network Map tool).
Note There is no Network Map for the Discovered NEs or Deleted NEs groups.
