N x M network graphical user interface and method of use
First Claim
1. ) A graphical user interface (GUI) useful for operate, maintain, provision and administer (OAMP) functions for a system comprising a wireless point to multi-point (PMP) network comprising N by M nodes, and a computer operatively connected to an OAMP system capable of providing OAMP functions for the PMP network, the computer further comprising a display, the GUI comprising:
- a. a user selectable display region displayed on the display; and
b. a plurality of user selectable display elements, each user selectable display element relating to a predetermined node of the N by M nodes to graphically depict a user selectable portion of the PMP network on the display.

Abstract
A wireless PMP network may be operated, maintained, provisioned, and administered using a graphical user interface that provides access to operation, maintenance, provisioning, and administration (OAMP) functions for the wireless PMP network comprising N by M nodes. Users are allowed to select from a plurality of offered views of the PMP network. The user navigates the PMP network using user selectable display elements and may be allowed to selectively switch the user selectable perspective at any user selectable display element. In addition, a user may be allowed to selectively traverse from a first user selectable display element representing a first network node of the N by M nodes to a different OAMP perspective of that node, to another node of the N by M nodes, or the like, or a combination thereof. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of meaning of the claims.

9. ) A method of operating, maintaining, provisioning, and administering a wireless point to multi-point (PMP) network comprising N by M nodes using a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI allowing selective viewing of a perspective of the network, comprising:
-
a. operatively connecting a computer to an operate, maintain, provision and administer (OAMP) system capable of providing OAMP functions for a wireless multi-point (MP) network, the computer further comprising a display, the PMP network comprising N by M nodes;
b. gathering data regarding a predetermined set of the N by M nodes;
c. initiating a user selectable display region on the display;
d. displaying a first plurality of user selectable display elements, each user selectable display element relating to a node of the N by M nodes, to graphically depict a user selectable portion of the PMP network on the display in a user selectable perspective of the PMP network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
