Software Structure 
 

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 RSM.
Communication with the individual HiPath 3000 systems belonging to the network takes place over their HG 1500 boards.

The following figure shows the services and routines associated with the Feature Server.

The following table shows the most important features of the Feature Server.

 Table 6-1   Feature Server Components
 Component  
 Function  
vsrv.exe  
Basic Feature Server component. As an MS Windows service, it starts all other components.  
vaplx.dll  
Logical interface for applications. Provides read-only and read/write access to CDB data.  
cars.exe  
The Call Address Resolution Server provides the HG 1500 boards with the call numbers of all HiPath 3000 systems (nodes) that belong to the network.  
Note: Event 1027 confirms that the corresponding HG 1500 board was successfully downloaded with the call numbers of all HiPath 3000 systems associated with the network (see Section 12.2.17 "HiPath 5000 Error Messages (Event Viewer Entries for HiPath 5000)").  
regserver.exe  
Following startup, the HG 1500 boards automatically log on to the Feature Server over the Registration Server.  
vsync.exe  
All "node-specific" CDB changes (for example, by key programming, Manager T) are reported by the node to the Feature Server's VSYNC process. This ensures the automatic synchronization of the Feature Server with the new CDB data.  
FCT.dll  
Interface to the systems for direct CDB data access.  

Presence Manager  
This is a Feature Server service for signaling the call processing station states "free", "busy" and "call" using the LEDs on the optiPoint telephones in a HiPath 3000/5000 network. You can pick up a call by pressing the appropriate button.
Call processing states can only be signaled for a station if the Presence Manager can set a CSTA monitor point on the relevant station. The status of a MULAP call number cannot be signaled, for example, because a CSTA monitor point cannot be set on a call number of this type.
The dssserver.exe service for the Presence Manager is installed with the HiPath 5000 software. This is a user-configured service that receives its information from vaplx.dll. The TAPI Service Provider is required for the Presence Manager to work.
Note for troubleshooting and diagnosis  
The Feature Server and Presence Manager components generate entries in the Event Viewer (event log) which are used for troubleshooting and diagnosis. Section 12.2.17 "HiPath 5000 Error Messages (Event Viewer Entries for HiPath 5000)" provides information on the possible entries and any necessary user responses.
