ILOG JViews TGO provides a comprehensive, user-friendly interface designed to illustrate changes in network telecom equipment states.

Within this framework, JViews TGO includes a wide range of visual techniques to identify changes in equipment states and alarms. These visual cues are a combination of:

In addition, a number of graphical properties have been developed to notify the telecommunication network operator that alarms are present. When a new alarm is detected on an element, four visual cues are added to its graphical representation:

Passive Devices

Predefined business objects that do not have a specific object state are considered as passive devices. These devices do not report information about their current states and alarms. Passive devices are graphically represented with an icon located at the same position as alarm counts in the case of alarms.

The passive icon is displayed when the object is in its regular representation, but it is hidden when the network element is collapsed. The following example illustrates the use of passive devices with network elements.

How to Use Passive Devices

object."ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement" {
  collapsed: true;
  passiveIconVisible: false;
}
object."ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement":selected {
  collapsed: false;
  passiveIconVisible: true;
}

The result is shown in the following images:
