HiPath AP 3700 IP
HiPath 4000 V5 is designed to offer customers cost effective choices to optimize communications that
help enterprises increase workplace productivity and effectiveness. As a powerful communications
solution it offers a rich set of endpoints, mobility choices, edge solutions, unified communications and
standards based integration and interoperability with business critical applications and systems.
It ties this capability together with its built-in assistant and powerful set of system management
applications that are easy to use and provide comprehensive capability to system administrators. Coupled
with a strong global presence and availability of Siemens’ OpenScale Services it allows enterprises to
maintain business continuity and to focus on their own strengths.
Open interfaces and dedicated applications ensure an optimized integration in your individual business
processes. These can naturally be combined and adapted intelligently to further reduce your TCO.
Especially future driven customer can match their communications needs from today with an open
communication infrastructure of tomorrow in any preferred combination of HiPath 4000 and OpenScape
UC Server / OpenScape Voice.
HiPath 4000 combines the advantages of both worlds with networking, with carrier access and the flexible
connection of analogue, TDM- and IP-phones, mobile WLAN- and DECT devices and soft phones.
HiPath ComScendo
HiPath ComScendo is the licensing brand for a comprehensive set of enterprise class features of HiPath
real-time communications systems. The individual functionalities can depend upon the communication
platform and the respective hardware configuration.
communication server or distributed by IP (IP Access Point, IPDA). HiPath 4000 SoftGates are always
distributed by IP. This architecture allows building up stand-alone systems, IP distributed concepts and
complex networks uniquely based on identical structures. The IP distributed architecture (IPDA) with
Access Points and SoftGate allows the connection of branches by a cost effective IP infrastructure and at
the same time benefit from central applications and a central management.
Optionally, each HiPath 4000 Communication Server and Access Point can be equipped with redundant
power supplies.
AP Emergency
An optional survivability unit enhances any AP 3700 IP to a survivable access point (AP Emergency). In
emergencies (if the host communication server or the IP connection to the communication server fails)
the Emergency Unit takes control of its own AP 3700 IP and any selected other IP Access Point without
own Emergency Unit or HiPath 4000 SoftGate Servers.
Possible Configurations:
• Between 1 and 83 AP 3700 IP with AP Emergency (own emergency unit).
• A group of AP 3300 IP, AP 3700 IP and HiPath 4000 SoftGate (without survivability unit)
can connect to an AP 3700 IP with survivability unit
Disaster Recovery
This permits installation of a redundant HiPath 4000 communication server. In case of total failure of the
active HiPath 4000 communication server due to disaster (flooding, fire,…), this redundant takes over the
complete functions of the main communication server. The system administrator
will have full control as part of an efficient crisis management. In combination with AP-Emergency, HiPath
4000 Duplex capability and HiPath Fault Mangement, this Disaster Recovery functionality guarantees
highest daily business continuity.
Mobility
HiPath 4000 V5 supports a large variety of high scalable mobility solutions which are based on state-of-
the-art-technology like VoIP, VoWLAN or DECT/GAP. Thus mobile subscribers can be integrated via
HiPath Wireless LAN and HiPath Cordless Enterprise devices. Mobile GSM devices can be included in
our One-Number Group or integrated with the application HiPath MobileConnect providing Fixed Mobile
Convenience
With Mobile HFA a subscriber can use individual functions, features and user interface which he is used
to from his own extension (home station) on virtually any IP phone within the network.
HiPath Positioning and HiPath DAKS allow locating and securing HiPath Cordless and HiPath WLAN
users in personal safety-, alarming- and localization scenarios.
The integrated HiPath MMCS Conference Server option offers very easy to use individual voice-
conference rooms for mobile users wherever and whenever they may be required.
Open Interfaces
HiPath 4000 can be connected to public and private networks via wide variety of interfaces
including analog, TDM and IP. Standardized protocols such as Q.SIG, DSS1, native
SIP RFC3261 and further country specific PSTN protocols are supported.
The open standard SIP (Session Initiation Protocol RFC3261) especially allows making use of attractive
SIP service provider offers and interconnecting different systems even more economical. SIP is also the
basis for an integration of dual-mode devices supporting GSM and WLAN.
Partner Applications can easily be integrated using standardized interfaces like CSTA, SOAP/XML, TAPI,
TAPI with HiPath CAP and APIs with HiPath 4000 Manager.
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying
directory services which is provided by HiPath User Management. Thus company directories can easily
be integrated with administration and communication tools
With XML (Extensible Markup Language), a general-purpose specification for displaying information,
business applications can be integrated directly with HiPath 4000 subscribers.
Management
HiPath 4000 Assistant
HiPath 4000 Assistant is an integrated management system tool with web based administration interface
for local configuration, necessary service tools and an integrated SNMP proxy agent (for sending HiPath
4000 errors and alarms as SNMP trap).

standalone systems and networks. It is an integral component of the HiPath Management architecture
and offers a modular set of applications for custom-assembly to satisfy customer requirements and
support sophisticated and effective administration:
Investment Protection
With HiPath 4000 V5 most of the existing endpoints of different infrastructures (analog, TDM or IP) can
be connected. Existing HiPath 4000 systems can easily and cost-effective upgraded to V5, if the HW
model is still supported. Older systems can be migrated to HiPath 4000 V5 using the EasyConversion
trade in program.
The OpenPath strategy of SEN allows the customer a smooth migration path to OpenScape Unified
