A scope is a named collection of managed Network Elements that have been 
grouped together in order to allow a user to view and/or manage the Network 
Elements provided a given role. Grouping can be based on geographical 
location, Network Element type (such as DSLAM, router, SW, etc.), Network 
Element category (such as access, core, etc.) or any other division according 
to the network administrator’s requirements. 

Using NetworkVision, a user that has been assigned a scope can view and/or 
manage the NEs within this scope according to the role assigned to the user 
as per the scope. The user cannot view any information regarding NEs that 
are outside the user’s scope, including basic properties, inventory, and 
alarms. 

A static link is a physical link that is not automatically discovered by the 
system. The user manually creates the static link between Network Elements 
by selecting the two end ports from the NE’s physical inventory. 

A transport link is a logical link used for communication between the units 
and for transferring information.
