LightSoft manages a network through an Element Management System (EMS) which provides LightSoft with the information it needs to maintain the network. At times you may need to use LightSoft to view windows from the EMS. Normally, this would require you to log in to the EMS on the local terminal, and locate the information manually. To make things easier and more efficient, LightSofts GCT allows you to view EMS information without having to start an individual EMS session.

To be integrated with Lightsoft, the EMS-BGF server, EMS-BGF client, and LightSoft are installed on different non-global zones, as shown in the following figure.
