1.5.1. NMS-4000 Graphical User Interface
The NMS-4000 System Configuration Map is the primary user interface
(see Figure 1-11) and provides a graphical representation of the components that comprise
the broadcast system transmission path. The NMS-4000 System Configuration Map gives the
Network Operator the power to monitor and control the entire CODICO
®
MPEG-2 DVB
broadcast system.
The System Configuration Map divides the transmission path components into several
groups that are easy to work with and intuitive. The System Configuration Map also includes
a tracking mechanism for recording significant system events. This mechanism consists of a
Log file and an Events Logging window.
