1. A configuration system for a data network, the configuration system comprising:
a network data analysis circuit configured to receive and process network usage data from a plurality of access points of the data network to obtain processed network usage data, the network usage data including information about communication channels used by the respective access points, and the processed network usage data including information about conflicts between the access points regarding the communication channels;
an evaluation circuit configured to generate a chord diagram based on the processed network usage data,
wherein the chord diagram comprises a plurality of segments, the segments being each assigned to at least one of the communication channels or no communication channel, and the access points being each assigned to at least one of the segments, and wherein the chord diagram comprises chords, the chords interconnecting the segments having access points assigned thereto, between which there is an actual conflict and/or a potential conflict,
wherein the network data analysis circuit is configured to receive and process network usage data from the access points about non-network access points, the processed network usage data including information about conflicts between intra-network access points and non-network access points regarding the communication channels, and
wherein the non-network access points are provided in the chord diagram, the non-network access points being provided in the chord diagram with a different characteristic than intra-network access points.
