1.2 Features of GateWay/CORBA
GateWay/CORBA supports the following TMF814
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

• 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.

1.3 GateWay/CORBA Fault Management
GateWay/CORBA forwards all the fault notifications received from managed NEs and all Prime Optical
alarms to the network management system (NMS) through the notification service. Information about the
notification service is available on the OMG website at

The NMS retrieves all active alarms on the EMS and on managed element objects. The NMS filters
alarms based on probable cause, perceived severity, and managed element name.

1.4 Overview of CORBA Services
GateWay/CORBA uses two CORBA services—naming service and notification service. The naming
service is required for GateWay/CORBA to function. If the notification service is not available, alarm and
event notifications are not forwarded to the OSS. By default, the naming and notification services are
installed on the Prime Optical server during the GateWay/CORBA installation. However, the CORBA
services can be located anywhere as long as they are accessible from the Prime Optical server on which
GateWay/CORBA is installed. The OSS application(s) must also use the same instances of the naming
service and the notification service.

1.4.1 Naming Service
GateWay/CORBA and the other Prime Optical server processes must use a naming service in order to
operate. GateWay/CORBA includes the OpenFusion naming service product. By default,
