General Information
Introduction
Software Manager can be implemented for the communication systems HiPath 2000, HiPath
3000 and HiPath 5000. It allows you to perform the following tasks:
With the Software Manager you can quickly and efficiently analyze all the main HiPath components with a Web browser. In addition, you can determine which components are assigned to
which individual HiPath nodes.
And you can invoke additional serviceability web services such as the Inventory Manager from
the portal page. With Inventory Manager, you can quickly obtain a complete overview of all integrated components and installed applications in the HiPath network.

In this chapter you will learn how to log onto and off from the Software Manager and become
familiar with the Software Manager interface.
2.1
The portal
After installation, the Common Web Service stores a desktop icon for starting the portal page
on the server. The link to the portal page has the following general structure:
<protocol>://{<host name>|<IP address>}:<port number>
For example:
http://pdbh834a:8280" or "https://pdbh834a:8443"
From this page you can access the following serviceability web services for the HiPath network:
Inventory Manager
With the Inventory Manager, you can quickly obtain a complete overview of all integrated
components and installed applications in the HiPath network.
Software Manager
The portal page can also be reached from the programs listed there. Use the Portal icon in the
toolbar to do this.
>
2.2
The visibility of additional serviceability web services on the portal page depends on
whether they have been registered with the portal.
Login
The Software Manager runs automatically once the server has been started up and remains
active in the background. As soon as the Software Manager is accessed with the browser, the
Login dialog appears.
The ideal Software Manager display can be achieved by setting the screen resolution to
1024x768 pixels or higher.

Logging on
The link to the Software Manager can be called up via the portal page.

If the connection has been established via HTTP (port 8280), you can establish a
connection via the HTTPS protocol (port 8443) by using the
Authentication via SSL link. Unlike HTTP, all data transferred is now encrypted.
If there are problems with the HTTPS connection, use HTTP access instead. For security reasons, however, the HTTPS connection should be the preferred connection
to the server.
Cookies and JavaScript must be enabled in your browser settings for the pages to
display correctly.
If a proxy server is being used and you need to bypass it, see section A.2, Bypassing the Proxy Server.
You can log into the system by entering the username and password which have been assigned
to your HiPath system. This data entered is then verified via the DB Feature Server.
1.
Enter your username and password in the respective fields. The password entered is hidden by asterisks.
>
2-2
User names and passwords are centrally administered for the entire system by
HiPath Manager E. With the help of this program, you can change usernames
and passwords.
For more information on the assignment of usernames and passwords, please
refer to the HiPath Manager E documentation.

The Inventory Manager provides the Software Manager with the number of systems and the
system information to be included. As soon as the browser is used to access the Software Manager, an information window containing the date and time of the last system request appears
on the Inventory Manager after login (see section 2.2, Login). This request is made automatically every 24 hours. You can also trigger the request manually (see section 3.1, Updating system information).
>
3.1
If changes have been made to the HiPath network or its components before the Software Manager is activated, we recommend that you manually trigger a system information request as automatic updates are performed every 24 hours.

2.
Depending on the size of the whole system, the update may take a few minutes.
Always wait until the update is complete before performing other actions. This ensures that your
actions are always performed with the most up-to-date data.
If a node cannot be accessed via SNMP, the Inventory Server cannot properly detect
the embedded boards of this node.

a TFTP server
In addition to the Software Manager, the DB Feature Server, MSDE, the FM Reporting Client,
the Common Web Service and the Inventory Manager must always be running on your PC.
TFTP server
The APS files for upgrade functionality are stored on the TFTP server. From here, system components can upgrade independently via TFTP. The IP address of this server must be known,
as it is requested during Software Manager setup. Depending on the system configuration, the
TFTP server can be installed on the same PC as Software Manager.
PC for central backup files
In addition to the local drive, backup files can be stored on a separate PC in the network. A
Windows file share must be set up so that the Software Manager can access this drive. Enter
the path for this share in the Software Manager backup settings.
Example: A share called "public" has been created on the PC "pdbh809a". The backup files on
this PC should be saved in a subfolder named "backupfiles". The backup path should be:
\\pdbh809a\public\backupfiles.
The Software Manager has been implemented as a Windows service so that it can start without
a user logon. Normal Windows services run under a user account known as "LocalSystemAccount". On the local PC, this user is a type of administrator with all the necessary rights. However, because this user does not have to be authenticated on the system, he/she has no network rights.

As a result, a user with the following authorization rights must be configured for creating file
backups on the network drive:
Full access rights to the central backup directory, in other words a network share
Password aging should not be activated in this account, as additional administrative work
would be required to run the service again after the password has expired
This user must be entered in the Software Manager backup settings together with the relevant
password.
Other HiPath components
The authorization rights for the Software Manager PC must not be deactivated for HG 1500
boards, HiPath 5000 LAN Device Handlers or HiPath 2000 ComScendo Services. If these
rights are deactivated, the Software Manager will not be able to access the boards (WBM via
"Explorer->Security").
Please also ensure that the share directories of all default components have Read permission
set for the account on which the Software Manager is running (as with the central backup file
directory). This expansion is required if, for example, a HiPath 5000 is available.
