                            a syntax analyzer for analyzing formal-description managed object                            
                     definitions according to syntax rules and transforming the formal-description                       
                     managed object definitions into transformed definitions which can be                                
                     translated into machine instructions;                                                               
                            means for establishing reference relationships between said formal-                          
                     description managed object definitions;                                                             
                            verification means for verifying the transformed definitions against                         
                     said established reference relationships and producing verified definitions;                        
                            output means for receiving the verified definitions and applying part of                     
                     the verified definitions as feedback to the verification means to allow the                         
                     verification means to perform verification on the transformed definitions                           
                     against said feedback;                                                                              
                            definitions entry means for receiving the verified definitions from the                      
                     verification means as received definitions and separating the received                              
                     definitions into OSI-based definitions and non-OSI-based definitions;                               
                            OSI-based definitions storage means coupled to the definitions entry                         
                     means for storing said OSI-based definitions;                                                       
                            non-OSI-based definitions storage means coupled to the definitions                           
                     entry means for storing said non-OSI-based definitions; and                                         
                            control means responsive to the request from the central                                     
                     management station for making a search through the stored OSI-based                                 
                     definitions to determine the executability of said request, reading a non-OSI-                      
                     based definition from said non-OSI-based definitions storage means if said                          
                     request is determined to be executable, and making access to the remote-                            
                     station memory or transmitting a request to one of said network nodes in                            
                     accordance with the non-OSI-based definition.
