1. A method of providing a display of a site in a network management system, comprising:

  • segmenting a cable and assigning positioning markers along a length of the cable for identifying sections of the cable and cable components;

    storing in a database a series of display frames;

    assigning each display frame to a positioning marker, each frame graphically descriptive of surroundings within an immediate vicinity of the assigned positioning marker;

    automatically displaying a notice indicative of an automatically detected cable break and an associated two-dimensional map of a suspected site of the cable break, the suspected site of the cable break automatically located via an algorithm based on historical reliability of measurements taken from a specific test point;

    automatically generating a trouble ticket responsive to the automatically detected cable break;

    assigning a relative significance level to each frame based upon the notice indicative of the cable break;

    selecting a set of frames based on the relative significance level from the series of display frames along the length of the cable related to the suspected site of the cable break; and

    displaying in sequence the selected set of frames related to the suspected site of the cable break.
