•  TMF.608 v2.0 (August 2001): Multi Technology Network Management Information 
Agreement 
•  TMF.814 v3.0 (August 2001): Multi Technology Network Management Solution Set 
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.

1.2  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 
•  Alarm notification 
•  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.
