1. A system comprising:

  • a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) network having network elements operable for communicating telephony, data, and video signals with customer-premises equipment of subscribers;

    an HFC network manager operable for monitoring status and the configuration including the assigned capacity of the network elements and for generating alarm data indicative of improper status or configuration of the network elements;

    a service, design, and inventory (SDI) database operable with the HFC network manager for storing data indicative of the status and the configuration of the network elements and for storing data indicative of physical and logical connections between the network elements and the customer-premises equipment; and

    a fault manager having an alarm visualization tool operable with the HFC network manager and the database for generating visual displays of the status and configuration including the assigned capacity of the network elements overlaid with the alarm data and overlaid with the physical and logical connections between the network elements and the customer-premises equipment based on the stored data.
