What is an InfoNode and what functions does it perform?
The InfoNode is a web-server and database manager, effectively taking the place of a PC within the Signature System. The InfoNode also supports the standard File Transfer Protocol, allowing the InfoNode database to be archived manually or through an optional NodeLink enterprise software package. Manual archiving is done via FTP by copying the database to any PC with connectivity to the InfoNode, via network or modem. Alternately, the Optional NodeLink enterprise software is used to archive InfoNode data according to a schedule you establish. Data is then stored on your PC or server in the standard PQDIF format for viewing in DranView or PQVIEW. Like any computer, the InfoNode has a finite amount of data storage capacity. The size of the server, ranging from a minimum of 5 GB to hundreds of GB, dependents on each system s number of connected DataNodes, disturbance levels, or storage periods.
