The NetMaster User Interface
The NetMaster user interface enables users to easily navigate between views. The collection of views in
the user interface reflects specific ways of working which are referred to as perspectives. The user can
organize and move windows and dialogs individually within a perspective.
• Discover perspective
• Geographical surveillance perspective
• Logical surveillance perspective
• Network explorer perspective
• Alarm workflow perspective
• User management perspective
• Security audit perspective

Discover Perspective
• The discovery process is the process by which
NetMaster identifies and manages new network
elements. This process is performed from the
Discover perspective.
• The operator defines IP-address-based search
ranges for discovering new elements. The IP
addresses defining the range can be in either
IPv4 or IPv6 format.

Geographical Surveillance Perspective
• Geographical surveillance perspective is used for
surveillance and management of network elements
based on a geographical model.
• This perspective is tailored to the user whose main task
and responsibility is to perform alarm surveillance in the
network.
• The Active alarms, Historical alarm, and Alarm summary
views together with the Geographical map give the
operator full control of the total network alarm status.
Proprietary and Confidential 44
Logical Surveillance Perspective
• The Logical surveillance perspective is
used for monitoring and managing network
elements based on a user-defined logical
model.
• This view is for monitoring and managing
the network based on a logical model and
includes an editor for creating and editing
a visual representation of logical domains.

Network Explorer Perspective
• In the Network Explorer perspective, users can monitor
and manage NEs based on either the Geographical model
or the Logical model. The choice of which model to link to
this perspective, is set in the Network Explorer Preferences
page.
• Any change done to domains and NEs in the Network
Explorer perspective, is automatically reflected in the
model to which this Network Explorer perspective is linked,
and vice versa.
Proprietary and Confidential 66
Alarm Workflow Perspective
• NetMaster provides a preset perspective
that helps focus on the alarm workflow.
The alarms initially appear in the Active
un-acknowledged view, and eventually
end up in the Historical acknowledged
view. The two intermediate views show
whether the alarm is cleared before it was
acknowledged or vice versa.

User Management Perspective
• The User management perspective handles
users and user groups, as well as permission
assignment and restrictions for user groups.
• The User administration view is used to
manage users: create new users, change
passwords, and block, delete and/or allocate
permissions by assigning users to groups.
Proprietary and Confidential 88
Security Audit Perspective
• The Security audit perspective is used for
logging the events arising from user
activities.
• The system administrator can block or
delete user accounts to prevent unwanted
operations.
