1. Apply main power to the equipment rack. (Verify the main power location with your
instructor).
2. Power on the network switch and allow the system to complete the boot sequence before
proceeding. The LEDs above the switch ports will illuminate when the network switch is
ready.
3. Power on the SM5200 System Manger by opening the front cover and pressing the power
button.
If a secondary SM5200 or a legacy SM5000 is available, DO NOT power on. Your
instructor will give instructions at a later time if the secondary System Manager will
be used (SM5200 and SM5000 are not compatible)
Do not proceed until the SM5200 has completed the boot sequence, indicated at the
Linux login or when the three status lights on the front panel are illuminated (see
figure 1.1). These LEDs may be red or green.
LEDs on the right side indicate Drive Status. Storage drives (Drives 3-6) will need to
initialize. LEDs may be red during initialization which can take 12-48 hours.



Unit Status (green= good, red =

defective fans, voltage issues)


Primary Network Port status
(green=connected at 1Gbps)

 Secondary Network Port status (off =

disconnected)

Software status (green = good, red =
dropping packets, database issues)

4. Find the WS5070 Workstation and press the power switch. Allow Windows to fully initialize.
WS5070 will be used to configure the SM5200.
5. Important Step! When Windows finishes loading, a default user account, “WS5070 User”,
will automatically login. This user has limited privileges. Log off and log back in as WS5070
Administrator. The administrative password is 2899100.
6. By default, DHCP on SM5200 is turned off. We can use the WS5070 to access SM5200’s
web page so we can turn DHCP on. To do this we need to give WS5070 a static IP address.
Setup the workstation to IP address 192.168.5.9, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0


On WS5070 click Start and in the Search box type “network and sharing center”
(without quotes) and press Enter




















Find and click “Local Area Connection” under “View your active networks”
On the Local Area Connection Status window click Properties
On the Local Area Connection Properties window double-click Internet Protocol
Version 4
Enter the IP address 192.168.5.9 and use the default subnet mask, click OK




















7. Open a web browser, Firefox, Chrome, or IE9
8. Type the IP address of the SM5200 (192.168.5.10) in the address bar and press enter. The
browser should redirect to https://192.168.5.10.
9. Proceed through the security warnings and continue to the SM5200 website.

10. Log into SM5200 using:
Username: admin
Password: admin
11. Click Device in the Navigation Bar and enter the following:
Device Name : SM5200
Click Use the system manager as an independent time server
o This setting establishes the SM5200 as the NTP server for this system
Set Date, Time, and Time Zone
Leave other fields blank or at defaults
Click Save (if date, time, NTP IP address or time zone is changed SM5200 will reboot
which may take up to 10 minutes.
12. Click Network in the Navigation Bar, verify the primary network address:
Primary Network Interface
o IP address: 192.168.5.10
o Netmask: 255.255.255.0
o Gateway: 192.168.5.1
We will not use Secondary Network Interface
Leave DNS Server1 and Server2 blank
13. Under DHCP, check the box “Use the system manager as a DHCP server”
14. Verify that there is an existing DHCP Scope called “Sample net”. Click Edit and enter the
following:
Starting IP Address: 192.168.5.15
Ending IP Address: 192.168.5. 225
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Subnet: 192.168.5.0
Gateway: 192.168.5.1
Set leases to Infinite
Save the changes to Sample.net
15. Click Save (DHCP service does not start until changes are saved)
16. Logout of the SM5200 Web application and close the browser
17. On the WS5070 main screen desktop, right click on the clock (lower right of the taskbar) and
select “Adjust date/time” and configure appropriate time zone.
18. Select the Internet Time Tab > Click the “Change date and time…” button. Verify the
“Synchronized with a…” box is checked.
19. In the Server box type the IP address of the SM5200. Click Update now, click OK.
Windows will try to synchronize its clock to the NTP server. If not successful try 2-3
times. Notify instructor if Windows fails to synchronize.
20. Double-click the “Endura Utilities” shortcut on the Windows Desktop.
21. When prompted, login with Username admin and Password admin
22. Endura Utilities should show a key in the lower left corner of the window. The System
Attributes tab should show the SM5200 and some related services. Click the Search button
to refresh the device list.
23. Apply power on the Encoders, Analog cameras and IP cameras.
24. Apply power to the NET5402R-HD Decoder
25. Since the WS5070 has a statically assign IP address, setup your Internet Protocol version 4
Properties for “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Verify that the WS5070 receives an
IP address from the dynamic range of your address scope.
Using the Linux Command Console
Endura devices use various builds of the Linux operating system and support most common
command line scripts. These scripts are useful for verification and troubleshooting. The
command console can be accessed with terminal software supporting secure-shell telnet (SSH).
WS5070 includes PuTTY, an open-source terminal emulator. PuTTY can be launched from
Windows or from Endura Utilities.
NOTE: Knowledge of Linux or use of Linux command line is not required for configuration or
administration of Endura systems. The purpose of this section is to familiarize you with useful
Linux functions that aid troubleshooting and determining system status. Pelco Product Support
and the Knowledge Base on www.pelco.com provide additional guidance on the use of the
Linux command console.
1. On Endura Utilities click SM5200 on the left side of the System Attributes tab. SM5200
details will be listed on the right pane of the System Attributes tab. Right-click SM5200 in the
right pane and select SSH Into from the drop down menu (see figure 1.3 below)
2. The factory default username for Linux command console is root and the password is
pel2899100. Endura Utilities will retain SSH login credentials while the current session is open.

Figure 1.3 SSH
3.
4. SSH Into opens a PuTTY console window to the targeted device. The first time PuTTY
accesses a device you will get the following security alert (answer Yes and continue)


5. At the command line, enter ifconfig. This command shows the current settings on the
primary (eth0) and loopback (lo) ports. If the secondary network port is enabled, it is listed
as eth1.
6. At the command prompt type screen –ls. The screen command lists the detached
processes running on SM5200. A SM5200 currently running an Endura system (running as a Primary SM) will typically show 9 processes. Screen can be used to determine the current
status of an SM5200 and the state of critical services

7. At command line enter the command service -–status-all. The current status of all
services is returned.
8. The DHCP service running on SM5200 is controlled by a daemon called dhcpd. You can
check the status, disable, and enable services with the following commands:
service dhcpd status (returns current status of the service)
service dhcpd stop (stops the DHCP daemon)
service dhcpd start (starts the service)
service dhcpd restart (stops and then starts the service)
(Note: You may notice the dhcpd service is turned back on almost immediately after issuing
service stop command. Many services are monitored by other applications which ensure critical
services are running when required)
RAID Controller Command Line Interface
SM5200 uses a 3Ware RAID controller to manage the RAID 1 OS array and the RAID 5 storage
drive array. The RAID controller can be used to query disk and array status.
9. Type tw_cli, hit Enter. The prompt will change to //SM5200-192.168.5.10>
10. Type show and hit Enter, the output show be similar to figure 1.4

Figure 1.4
In Figure 1.5 the RAID controller refers to itself as "c6", it could also be a different cX. The
show command can be used to verify the correct name.
11. Type /c6 show and press Enter. Logical units are listed under Unit. Physical slots are
listed under VPort.
a. What information is displayed about the controller?
b. What is the status of each logical unit?
c. How does the drive numbering differ from the front panel of the SM5200?
d. The unit that we are using in class is a single 3TB unit. Figure 1.5 displays a unit
with six drives.

13. Type exit to close the Linux console window
