Visualization of circuits
The network diagram in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application graphically displays a hierarchical map of the circuit and its underlying connection elements, while centered on the configuration item (CI) that is the Home node.
The network diagram graphically displays a circuit of the physical and logical connection elements, and the details of each element. It provides a detailed overview of the network infrastructure and how they’re connected.
The following example shows a network diagram in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.
- The Map pane shows the map for a selected CI.
- The Details pane on the right shows related information of the CI according to the current selections.
To learn more about how to use the network diagram, see Using the network diagram.
Map pane
The map shows all CIs in the hierarchy starting with the Home node CI, up to the specified level. You can expand the hierarchy levels up to three levels and view all the underlying connections. The map pane also shows the IP Address of the equipment. You can only expand connections that have connection elements underneath them.
- Select the add icon (
) and view all the underlying connections. - Select the refresh icon (
) to reload the map and return it to its initial view. - Use the zoom controls to zoom in and out of the map.
Details pane
If a node is selected in the map pane, then the details pane shows the related information for that node. For example, if you select a logical connection node on the network diagram, then the details pane shows all the details related to that logical connection. You can select View Details in the details pane to redirect to the corresponding CI form. If you select in an empty space on the map pane, the details pane disappears.
Access
- Navigate to .
- Open the desired physical or logical record.
- Select the Network Diagram tab to open the map for the respective CI.
