Glossary
Free Running
An operating condition of a network element in which its local oscillator is not locked
to any synchronization reference and uses no storage techniques to sustain its accuracy.

G GARP
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
Gateway Network Element (GNE)
Passes information between other network elements and management systems via a Data
Communications Network.
Gbit/s
Gigabits per second
Geographic Location
Location of the Lucent OMS server. The geographic location is entered as part of the
installation procedure of the Lucent OMS.
Geographic Redundancy (GR)
Allows protection of management for a network element by assigning the network
element to two Lucent OMSs. The first primary Lucent OMS usually manages the
Network Element and is now in the protected domain. If the primary Lucent OMS or the
link between the network element and the primary Lucent OMS fails, the secondary
Lucent OMS will automatically take over management of the network element and is
now in the protecting domain. The two Lucent OMSs are connected by a peer to peer
link, which they use to pass Geographic Redundancy management information to each
other. This link must be established before any network element can be protected by
Geographic Redundancy.
GFP
Generic Framing Procedure
Global Wait to Restore Time
The time to wait before switching back to the timing reference occurs after a timing link
failure has cleared. This time applies for all timing sources in a system hence the name
global. This can be between 0 and 60 minutes, in increments of one minute.
GNE
Gateway network element - A network element that passes information between other
network elements and operations systems via a data communications network.
