ABSTRACT
Q Adaptor Function (QAF): Part of the TMN functional architecture (see Figure T.9), the QAF provides the translation between a Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) interface and a proprietary nonTMN interface, this latter part being outside the TMN, as shown in Figure T.9. The QAF is therefore used to connect a Network Element (NE) which does not support a TMN interface to a TMN.
