The TMF.608 document is a protocol-independent information model for the network
resources being managed. The TMF.814 document is the CORBA Interface Data Language (IDL)
component of the specification; it consists of a set of definitions for specific objects and
methods that are available for use at the NML-EML interface for passing information or
accomplishing specific actions. However, TMF.814 is a specific interface implementation based
on a TMF high-level business agreement described by the TMF.513 document. To complete the
document set, TMF.814A recognizes that different parties may provide varying degrees of
compliance in their implementations. The TMF.814A document is called the Implementation
Agreement, and is simply a form to be filled out by those parties implementing TMF.814 to
further describe their specific implementations to those who might use them.

1.1 Features of GateWay/CORBA
GateWay/CORBA supports the following TM.814 modules:
• Inventory
– Element management system (EMS)
– Multilayer subnetwork
– Managed element
– Physical termination point (PTP)
– Connection termination point (CTP)
– Floating termination point (FTP)
– Subnetwork connection (SNC)
– Protection group
– Equipment
– Equipment holder
– Topological link
– Multilayer subnetwork
– Managed element
– Physical termination point (PTP)
– Connection termination point (CTP)
– Floating termination point (FTP)
– Subnetwork connection (SNC)
– Protection group
– Equipment
– Equipment holder
– Topological link
• Alarm notification
• Retrieval of active alarms on objects where inventory is available
• SNC provisioning
• Equipment provisioning
• Protection operations
• Performance operations
• Maintenance operations
• Retrieval of active alarms on objects where inventory is available
• SNC provisioning
• Equipment provisioning
• Protection operations
• Performance operations
• Maintenance operations
Performance and inventory application programming interfaces (APIs) do not retrieve any
information for out-of-service NEs.
The gateway authenticates the northbound OSS. Once authenticated, the OSS can perform
operations and receive alarm notifications.
