Abstract
A method for the simultaneous graphical display of paths of optical wavelength channels in a telecommunications network together with one or more channel attributes is provided. The graphical display of the network also shows the direction of data flow transported by the channels. An audible or visual alarm for an error condition for a channel attribute on a link in the network can be produced if requires. The operator can also obtain detailed information on a channel by positioning the mouse over a channel.
