The Bellcore state dictionary visuals
Describes the three primary states and various secondary states of the Bellcore state dictionary.
*Graphical representation of the Bellcore primary states
*Illustrates the graphical representation of the three Bellcore primary states.
*Graphical representation of the Bellcore secondary states
*Provides the graphical representations of Bellcore secondary states.
Graphical representation of the Bellcore primary states
These graphical representations are based on the base element states introduced in Introducing business objects and data sources. The same graphical representations are used for links, groups, and cards. Note that the primary state of empty slots is not represented graphically.
These states are represented graphically by a change in the appearance of the object base (hatched around the perimeter, flat base, or base in relief).

Graphical representation of the Bellcore secondary states
Secondary states are almost always represented graphically by adding an icon to the top left corner of the object base element.
The only exceptions concern the “Unassigned,” “Unequipped,” and “Pre-Post Service” secondary states for which the OOS representations are denoted by a main change in the base element visual (as shown in table Other representations of Bellcore secondary states).
How to read the When Applicable column
The meaningful representation of the secondary states depends on the current Bellcore primary state set to the telecom object. The Bellcore primary states are the following:
*OOS—Disabled/Idle
*NT—Enabled/Idle
*CT—Enabled/Active
The “When Applicable” column in table Icon-based representations of Bellcore secondary states   lists the graphic representation of the Bellcore secondary states for a given primary state. A blank entry indicates that the secondary state has no meaning in that particular primary state.
Secondary state names
In Icon-based representations of Bellcore secondary states  , the symbolic name “ Secondary State Definition ” that appears after each “Secondary State Name” corresponds to the static secondary state definition. For example, the “Inhibit In Progress” secondary state is defined by InhibitInProgress, which corresponds to the static definition InhibitInProgress.
Secondary state icons
It is possible to change the icon associated with a secondary state by using global settings, see Using global settings. The icon property name to be used with IltSettings.SetValue() must include the secondary state definition and the primary state. For example:
*Bellcore.SecState.IdleTransmit.NT.Icon
where:
*IdleTransmit is the secondary state definition of the “Idle Transmit” secondary state
*NT is the corresponding Bellcore primary state (Enabled/Idle)
For more information on how to use global settings to modify the Bellcore secondary state icons, see Customizing the Bellcore state system.
