The Deployment Service Tool [[DLS]] is best suited for the scenario with the characteristics like:
 +
* Communication solutions sized for medium-size and large businesses (i.e.installations typically ranging from 1000 - 10,000 subscribers).
 +
* A stronger focus on internal communication performance, in other words the company runs key IT components itself. A typical example of this scenario is a Siemens HiPath 8000 realtime communication system installed in a company’s data center.

−
* Inventory data management: The DLS is the central inventory data manager for workpoints. Inventory data describes the hardware configuration and capacity of the workpoint and includes information on items, such as, add-on devices or adapters available. Inventory data can be exported over the CSV interface.
+
*...clients to log-in (either on desktop PC or mobile computers)
−
* Plug&play function (for optiPoint): The DLS supports plug&play. Plug&play means that the optiPoint is ready to work as soon as it is plugged into the network - no user intervention required. Ideally, the workpoint automatically downloads all necessary software and configuration data and can be used after a few minutes.

* Mobility for optiPoint SIP phones (Only available for HiPath 8000 solutions): DLS is a tool that supports the user mobility feature on optiPoint SIP phones and permits the configuration and administration of Mobile Users.

The Deployment Service Tool DLS is best suited for the scenario with the characteristics like:

  • Communication solutions sized for medium-size and large businesses (i.e.installations typically ranging from 1000 - 10,000 subscribers).
  • A stronger focus on internal communication performance, in other words the company runs key IT components itself. A typical example of this scenario is a Siemens HiPath 8000 realtime communication system installed in a company’s data center.
  • Trained and skilled personnel available (IT, LAN and server operation), company-performed maintenance

Using DLS requires a few things like

  • ...a server hosting the application with its components (e.g. integrated database)
  • ...clients to log-in (either on desktop PC or mobile computers)
  • ... DHCP provided in the LAN (supporting option 43 for plug & play)
