Feature server
The Feature Server is an essential component in the HiPath 5000 software architecture and
serves as a central point for administration and as a data interface for applications and middleware.
In addition, the Feature Server synchronizes the HG 1500 boards with all necessary data
for digit analysis in a HiPath 3000/5000 network.
The networked HiPath 3000 systems (nodes) are administered over the Feature Server. The
HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E administration tool does not communicate with the individual
systems but exchanges data with the Feature Server. The Feature Server ensures that the networked
HiPath 3000 systems receive synchronized CDB data.
The individual systems are accessed directly by HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E in the course of
maintenance and online functions.
HG 1500 boards are still administered on a board-specific basis using Web-based management
(WBM).
The Feature Server is an MS Windows service that automatically starts at the same time as the
HiPath 5000 server.
Communication with the individual HiPath 3000 systems belonging to the network takes place
over their HG 1500 boards.
