System Management Interfaces Overview
1.1 Introduction
Artesyn provides an SAF Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) as part of its AdvancedTCA
platforms. HPI provides an industry standard interface to monitor and control highly available
telecommunications system platforms. The ability to monitor and control these platforms is
provided through a consistent and standard set of programmatic interfaces that are targeted
for adoption by the telecom building block industry to significantly reduce product time-to-
market and development costs while retaining or enhancing total system/network availability.
HPI provides the interface between the middleware software solution stack and the hardware
solution stack, allowing portability of middleware software building blocks across many
different hardware platforms and portability of hardware platforms across many different
middleware software building blocks.
This guide describes the HPI-B implementation targeted at the Artesyn AdvancedTCA Centellis
4620/4440 platform.
1.2 Standard Compliances
The Artesyn HPI-B implementation for the Centellis 4620/4440 environment is compliant to
the following standards.
Although the standards listed above are fulfilled, some specific limitations apply. For details,
refer to
Limitations on page 37 .
Table 1-1 HPI-B Standards Supported by Artesyn HPI-B Implementation
Standard Description
SAI-HPI-B.03.02 HPI-B base specification. It abstracts hardware platform
characteristics into a data model consisting of entities and
resources.
SAI-HPI-SNMP-B.01.01 HPI-B SNMP interface specification.
SAIM-HPI-B.03.02-xTCA HPI-B-AdvancedTCA mapping specification. It provides a vendor
independent hardware platform view of an AdvancedTCA
system.
