Abstract
A craft interface device for accessing a telecommunications network having several levels or layers of interactive structure has a graphical user interface for displaying on a monitor a sequence graphical representations of operatively interconnected objects in a respective layer of the telecommunications network, whereby a user can navigate graphically through the network from a highest hierarchical level of objects to a lowest hierarchical level of objects and operational interrelationships. The graphical user interface is operatively connected to a display interactive user input component (e.g., a mouse) for detecting user selection via the input component of a broadband first end point displayed in a first window by the graphical user interface and a broadband second end point displayed in a second window by the graphical user interface. Connection componentry is operatively connected to the graphical user interface and to the network for automatically establishing a broadband end-to-end cross-connection in the network in response to the user selection via the input component of the first end point and the second end point.
