GUI Cut Through (GCT)
LightSoft manages a network through an EMS (Element Management System)
which provides LightSoft with the information it needs to maintain the
network. There are times when you may need to use LightSoft to view
windows from the EMS. Normally, this would require you to log into the EMS
on the local terminal and find the information manually. To make things easier
and more efficient, LightSoft’s GCT allows you to view EMS information
without having to start an individual EMS session.
To be integrated with Lightsoft, EMS-BGF server, EMS-BGF client and
LightSoft are installed on different non-global zones, as shown in the following
figure.
