Abstract

A graphics map of an area in which a system is set is displayed on a screen of a display unit, and minimized stations and line connecting between the stations are displayed on the map. Display colors of the station icon and the line icon are changed in accordance with presence/absence of a failure. When each station icon is clicked, a window showing a list of NODEs belonging to that station is opened, and a NODE having a failure and a NODE having no failure are also distinguished from each other by changing the display colors in this window.
