The network map displays an integrated view of the entire network including all
nets, subnets, equipment, and equipment interconnections. The user can double-
click on an icon to display its status information and/or sub-components. Right-
clicking on an icon displays a drop-down menu allowing the operator to issue
commands, change configurations, or change the unit’s state, as applicable.
The colors associated with each icon, as shown in the display illustrated in
figure 1-1, reflect the current status condition of the network component or its
sub-components:
• Green = Okay
• Red = Alarm
• Gray = Disconnected (offline) as the result of missing three consecutive
PLDMs and not responding to the recovery process
All devices, networks, and carriers displayed by ViperView share the same
color scheme for indicating their health in the network, giving the operator real-
time at-a-glance network health status.
The VMS provides operator notification in the event of network alarms. This
notification can be in the form of both visual and audible alerts. The VMS also
maintains a log of all network activity, making use of analysis and network
trouble-shooting information readily available.
