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 
•  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. 
GateWay/CORBA uses jacORB 2.1.3.7. The corresponding standard is Object Management Group 
(OMG) CORBA 2.3. 
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,
