1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • generating, by a computing device, a graphical interface, wherein the graphical interface includes an interactive area corresponding to a network device, wherein the network device is associated with current values of multiple operation settings, wherein each operation setting of the multiple operations settings is associated with a different attribute of the network device, and wherein the interactive area includes a modifiable feature of an image;

    displaying the graphical interface including the modifiable feature of the image;

    receiving a first input at the interactive area corresponding to the network device, wherein when the first input is received, the graphical interface changes to a new state, wherein when the graphical interface in the new state receives an additional input, the additional input controls an operation setting of the network device;

    receiving a second input corresponding to an interaction at the graphical interface, wherein the second input includes a movement in a first direction with respect to the graphical interface, and wherein the second input indicates an adjustment of a first operation setting of the network device from a current value to an adjusted value, and wherein the second input indicating the adjustment of the first operation of the network device was enabled by the first input;

    transmitting the adjusted first operation setting of the network device, wherein when the adjusted first operation setting is received at the network device, the first operation setting of the network device is adjusted based on the adjusted value, and wherein adjusting the first operation setting causes the network device to generate a confirmation signal;

    receiving a third input corresponding to an interaction at the graphical interface, wherein the third input includes a movement in a second direction different than the first direction with respect to the interactive area, and wherein the third input indicates an adjustment of a second operation setting of the network device from a current value to a second adjusted value, and wherein the third input indicating the adjustment of the second operation of the network device was enabled by the first input;

    transmitting the adjusted second operation setting of the network device, wherein when the adjusted second operation setting is received at the network device, the second operation setting of the network device is adjusted based on the second adjusted value;

    determining whether the confirmation signal has been received, wherein when the confirmation signal is received at the computing device, the confirmation signal causes the computing device to dynamically modify the modifiable feature of the image to represent the adjusted first operation setting of the network device, and wherein modifying the modifiable feature indicates that the confirmation signal has been received and that the first operation setting of the network device has been adjusted; and

    displaying the modified modifiable feature of the image on the graphical interface.
