Bellcore states

The Bellcore state dictionary defines a primary state and several secondary states, which are used to define the graphic representation of predefined business objects through cascading style sheets. See The Bellcore state dictionary visuals for more information.

Bellcore primary states

The following selector matches all objects that have the Bellcore primary state EnabledActive defined.

object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject"["objectState.Bellcore.State"=EnabledActive] {
...
}

Bellcore secondary states

You can also use secondary states in your attribute selectors. In CSS selectors, secondary states are identified by the attribute name (" objectState ") and the secondary state information (Blocked, Combined, and so on). See The Bellcore state dictionary visuals for a complete list of available secondary states.

The following selectors match all objects that contain the secondary state Blocked or Combined:

object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject"["objectState.Bellcore.SecState.Blocked"] {
...
}

object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject"["objectState.Bellcore.SecState.Combined"] {
...
}

How to change the object representation based on Bellcore states

The following CSS extract customizes the graphical representation of all telecom business objects according to the value of the Bellcore primary state. This example does not take into account the possible presence of alarms in the objects.

object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject" {
  foreground: '';
}
object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject"["objectState.Bellcore.State"=DisabledIdle] {
  foreground: lightGray;
}
object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject"["objectState.Bellcore.State"=EnabledIdle] {  
  foreground: green;
}
object."ilog.tgo.model.IltObject"["objectState.Bellcore.State"=EnabledActive] {
  foreground: yellow;
}

The following figure illustrates this configuration on network elements.
