Right- click Gateway and select Desired State > Up
Does 'UP' mean operational or functional.
No more context, sorry...

operational
That's my best guess... However, there is not much difference between your two proposed options

: indeed, op/func are being used interchangeably... I strongly believe :)

open, ready to communicate
Since this refers to a state, not to a change of state, I don't think it means "upwards", since that implies moving from one state or position to another. The metaphorical image is of a gate that can be raised to open or lowered to close (like a sluice gate). So "up" means open, ready to allow communication. In effect, it does mean operational, but in the specific sense of "open", not as in "the system is up/down".
"cmedGatewayOperStatus
The current operational state of the gateway
up (1) - ready to communicate with MGC
down (2)
testing (3) - in some test mode
unknown (4) - status can not be determined for some reason.
The testing(3) state indicates that no signaling packets can be passed. If cmedGatewayAdminStatus is down(2) then cmedGatewayOperStatus should be down(2). If cmedGatewayAdminStatus is changed to up(1) then cmedGatewayOperStatus should change to up(1) if the gateway is ready to transmit and receive signaling traffic; it should remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(1) state"

I have added some line breaks to this quotation to make it easier to read.

It may be a minor point, but I don't think "operational" is strictly correct. If the gateway is down it is still operational - still working; it is simply closed. If a light is off, the switch is still operational. For translation purposes I think "open" is a more accurate synonym.

I didn't mean "Right-click UP". UP just follows (>) selecting a state, so I do agree with you ("then select..."). If "up" stands for "go/move up - no need to treat it... functionally from scratch:)
means here - operational, I do belive :) since usually - clicking on "UP" does not require "right-click" command...
Anyway, it's difficult indeed without more context :)
