Chapter 1 Setting Up Devices and Using the GUI Clients
Overview of the GUI Clients
Prime Network Vision
Prime Network Vision is the main GUI client for Prime Network. Maps of devices create a visualization
of the network, from the intricacies of a single device physical and logical inventory, to multi-layer
topological information on connections, traffic, and routes. Faults and alarms are graphically displayed
with built-in troubleshooting tools. Network elements and links using color cues and graphic symbols to
indicate status and alarms.
All user actions are controlled by user roles and device scopes. Each user is assigned a role which
controls the GUI actions the user can perform. When a user does not have the required permission level
to perform a function, the appropriate menu option or button is disabled. Similarly, device scopes, which
are named collections of managed network elements, control which devices a user can access. User roles
and device scopes are controlled from the Prime Network Administration GUI client.
Prime Network Vision is also the launching point for these features.
For more information on the Prime Network Vision GUI client, see Working with the Prime Network
Vision Client, page 2-1.
