Feature configuration
Hierarchy synchronization
A parent site contains an updated list of all its currently attached child sites, child sites' child sites and
so on. The federated hierarchy has a regularly scheduled synchronization between sites, as well as
management-triggered synchronization every time a site is added or removed. When the system
synchronizes the hierarchy, it takes place level by level, each level forwarding and returning
communication, until it reaches the server that requests the information. The system sends less than
1MB each time. Depending on the number of levels, changes to a hierarchy can take some time to
become visible in the Management Client. You cannot schedule your own synchronizations.
Data traffic
The system sends video or configuration data when a user or administrator views live or recorded
video or configures a site. The amount of data depends on what and how much is being viewed.
MFA with other products
With XProtect Smart Wall installed on the parent site in an MFA setup, you can use the XProtect
Smart Wall features in an MFA setup. See Configure XProtect Smart Walls (see "Configure Smart
Walls" on page 249) on how set up an XProtect Smart Wall.
With XProtect Access Control Module installed and if an XProtect Smart Client logs into a parent site
in a Milestone Federated Architecture hierarchy, access request notifications from the child sites also
appear in XProtect Smart Client.
You can add XProtect Expert 2013 servers to MFA as children, not as parents. For integrating
XProtect Enterprise 6.0 and up into your system, see About XProtect Enterprise servers (on page
264).
MFA does not require additional licenses.
For more information about use cases and benefits, see the white paper about Milestone Federated
Architecture technology on Milestone website.
Status icons in Milestone Federated Architecture
When you work with MFA, you may see the following number of icons that represent the different
states in which a site can be:
