DRS5000 Configuration

DRS5000 Configuration
What is the DRS5000?
The DRS5000 is a versatile 1RU Linux server that operates as the central administrator for several of FrontRow’s software packages.
This server is a critical component for the Conductor, Maestro and Encore products.
Connecting to the DRS5000 server
1. Configure your laptop for a static IP address, recommend using 192.168.1.100 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your laptop to the labeled network port of the DRS5000.
NOTE: Depending on the network card in your laptop it may be necessary to use a crossover Ethernet cable if connecting
directly to the server. Some older computers do not automatically cross over the network data signals. If you do not have
a crossover cable then you can use a hub or switch between the computer and the DRS5000, this will crossover the
connections. The Frontrow CM3000 works very well as this crossover switch.
3. The DRS5000 server is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.99.
Logging onto the DRS5000 server
1. Power up the DRS5000 by pressing and holding the power button for about a second.
2.
Wait approximately 1-2 minutes for the server to completely boot up. You will see the amber disk light flash periodically
until the boot up is complete.
Connect to the Webmin management interface
1.
Open a web browser and type in the following URL:
http://192.168.1.99:10000
2. Log into the Wedmin interface by entering:
User name: dealer
Password:
calypso
3. Then select “Login”
4. Once logged in you will see this screen:

Setting the system time
1. On the left side tabs select “Hardware” ---- > “System Time”
2. There will be three settings involved with this step:
1.TIME ZONE – Set the proper time zone for the installation. Select from one of the three tabs near the top of the
System Time screen. Select the one labeled Change time zone. After selecting the appropriate time zone enter Save.
2.TIME SYNC – Select the proper network time sync source (get information from the school for this) and enter this
information in the Timeserver hostname box. This will be the network connection where the DRS5000 gets the
accurate time. Leave Synchronize on schedule? to NO (the Linux system will automatically check for time). Select
Sync and Apply before leaving this page to save the settings.
NOTE: you will receive an error message if the time server cannot be reached; this is ok as the settings will be applied.
When the server is installed at the school it will sync up with the time server.
3.TIME SET – Manually set the time, even if you will be connecting to a time server. This is just to be sure that even in
the early stages of deployment that you know you have the correct time. (Follow the RED number sequence).

Changing the network settings for installation
NOTE: The following settings are based on devices that are all within the same network range. For instance, devices all
based on 192.168.1.xxx or 10.34.75.xxx. If there are devices are spread across various subnets then see addendum A at the
end of this document.
1. On the left side tabs select “Networking” ---- > “Network Configuration”
2. Click on “Network Interfaces”
3. Click on “eth0”
4.
Adjust the network settings for your installation. Note that when you apply these setting that your laptop will lose
connection to the Webmin, this is typical as now your laptop and the server are on much different static IP addresses.
Change the following as necessary:
• Static IPv4 address of the server
• Netmask information (NOTE – if the DRS5000 server is to be used in a Conductor system this Netmask must be
255.255.255.0)
• Set Broadcast to Automatic. This will only be changed if necessary.

Routing and Gateways
When the DRS5000 is required to access devices across subnets (very common with the Maestro software) then a network
Gateway needs to be defined.

Addendums
A.Process for reaching the server/devices from a client station that falls outside of the defined IP range. Note that this does
not include audio over IP packets sent/received from the Conductor, these remain confined to the IP range set by the
server when defining the static IP address.
