ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to monitoring and maintaining a network in telecommunications networks which comprise a large number of network elements. The network elements are presented as a hierarchical diagram or as a map display on a graphical user interface. In accordance with the invention, the graphical user interface presents performance information of the network element as a graphical presentation (41, 41A,42, 42A,43, 43A) in connection with the network element symbol in such a way that the operator can, at one glance, identify the network elements that are the most important in terms of the operation of the network or the network elements most affected by faults. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the alarm situation of each element is displayed as a graphical presentation (36) along with the network element symbol on the graphical user interface simultaneously with the graphical presentation representing the performance. In this manner, fault management FM and performance management PM are connected, whereby a link is provided between the faults and their effects on the telecommunications network or the network element.
