Chapter 1 Setting Up Devices and Using the GUI Clients
Overview of the GUI Clients
Prime Network Events
Prime Network Events is the interface used by system managers and administrators for viewing system
events that occur in the network. You can use the GUI to retrieve detailed information about the different
types of system events and tickets that are generated; it also helps predict and identify the sources of
system problems. The GUI client also provides information about events within the Prime Network
system. For more information, see Tracking Faults Using Prime Network Events, page 8-1.
Prime Network Administration
Prime Network Administration is the GUI client used to manage the Prime Network system, which is
comprised of gateway servers, units, AVMs, and VNEs. These components work together to create the
information model, which is constantly updated. Administrators use this GUI client to create user
accounts, device scopes, polling groups, redundancy settings, and so forth. For information on this GUI
client, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Administrator Guide.
Prime Network Administration is also the launching point for the following Prime Network components
which are launched in a Web GUI client.
Prime Network Change and Configuration Management
This is a Web GUI component that provides tools for managing the software images and device
configuration files used by the devices in your network. It is described in Device Configurations and
Software Images, page 4-1.
CCM is also the launch point for the following Prime Network features:
• Transaction Manager, which is used to manage and execute activations on groups of devices.
Information appears in the Transaction Manager tab only if transactions have been created and then
added to Prime Network, as described in the Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Customization Guide.
• Command Manager, which provides a repository of all commands available in the system. It can be
used to create new commands and command sequences, which can then be applied to groups of
devices. Command Manager is described in the Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Customization Guide.
Prime Network Operations Reports
Prime Network Operations Reports is an optional add-on component to Prime Network 4.0 that provides
extended reporting functionality. In addition to providing prepackaged, read-only fault, physical
inventory, and technology-related reports, it also enables you to create your own reports and to customize
some prepackaged reports. For information on this GUI client, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.0
Operations Reports User Guide.
