Heartbeat Process
The Heartbeat process exists to protect the S8000/S716 software licence from being duplicated to run
concurrently on multiple machines and to provide additional security for resellers against "lease
abscondment". It also forms part of Splicecom's Software Protection programme in accordance with the
EU Directives on software sales.
The Heartbeat process utilises SSL, port 443, to establish a secure connection to the SpliceCom Heartbeat
Server. Therefore ensure that this port is open within any Firewall/router configuration. In the case where
Proxy Servers are being utilised on the customer network, the Proxy Server will need to be configured to
listen for requests on port 443 as well as port 80.
When the SoftPBX module is first commissioned, by configuring the System Name and Supplier, adding
licences, and assigning an S8000/S716 licence to the module, the Heartbeat countdown timer
commences operation, counting down its "tank " of 30 days of system operation.
