Global Administration Subsystem (GAS)
A module that provides command line access to certain administration and maintenance functions needed by
services tools and provides administration support for parameters in the
DEFINITY ONE or IP600 system that are not otherwise provided by the DEFINITY ONE or IP600
applications.
Global Alarm Module (GAM)
A Windows NT process that coordinates alarm reporting for the DEFINITY ONE or IP600 platform. Its
primary functions are to accept and forward alarms from the applications, generate alarms for Windows NT,
and manage the communication links to the Operations Support Systems (OSSs) via the Windows NT TAPI
interface.

Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The use of pictures rather than just words to represent the input and output of a program. A program with a
GUI runs under some windowing system (for example, X Window System, Microsoft Windows, Acorn RISC
OS, and NEXTSTEP). The program displays certain icons, buttons, dialog boxes etc., in its windows on the
screen and the user controls it mainly by moving a pointer on the screen (typically controlled by a mouse) and
selecting certain objects by pressing buttons on the mouse while the pointer is pointing at them.
Group Authorization ID
Numbers assigned to a company or parts of a company. They are used to determine access permission to
system records.

communications within the network and links to other ISDNs to provide national and international digital
communications. See also
