C•CURE 9000 SiteServer Overview
C•CURE 9000 SiteServer Overview
The C•CURE 9000 SiteServer is a network appliance with an embedded OS providing an affordable, easy to install,
web-based security and event management system that communicates with up to 64 readers. The unit comes pre-
installed with the latest version of C•CURE 9000. With no software to install and a pre-configured database, an IP
network is all you need to harness the power of C•CURE 9000 security and event management system.
C•CURE 9000 SiteServer may be configured and managed using a standard C•CURE workstation or, if system
management is needed from a number of locations, a standard web-browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer®,
Morale®, Firefox® or Googlerm Chrome can log on to the system using the C•CURE 9000 Web Client. This saves the
need to install dedicated workstation software onto corporate computers.
C•CURE 9000 SiteServer also includes an optional pre-configured database that further reduces the cost and time
needed to configure and program iSTAR controllers and clusters, readers, doors, clearances, schedules, alarms, and
other system objects.
The Solid State Drive (SSD) provides enhanced system reliability because having no moving parts solid-state drives
are less fragile than hard disks, which can wear out with repetitive use. Access time and latency are also low since
there are no mechanical actions for seeks and rotational delay.
C•CURE 9000 SiteServer can be placed on a desktop, rack-mounted, or placed in a wall-mount configuration. It is
compatible with all Software House iSTAR controllers and associated readers, including the iSTAR Edge two or four
- reader IP door controller.
Fully-featured C•CURE 9000 software allows C•CURE 9000 SiteServer to provide powerful security and event
management features in a compact, network appliance.

Database Backup
The Database Backup function backs up the C•CURE 9000 databases (System, Audit Log, and Journal database) to
the specified location. By default, the System Backup function names the backup automatically and saves the backup
to a default location, O\ Backup.
The backup location can be physically on the system or on a network drive (with required access
NOTE
privileges).
• The system automatically retains the last three backups and purges the rest. This is to prevent the hard
drives from becoming full.
To Save the C•CURE 9000 Databases to a Different Location
• Specify the location where you want to save the databases. The specified backup location should exist before
running the Database Backup Tool.
Click the Use default backup location button to reset the location entered.
NOTE
When the backup location is the network folder path, both the systems must be part of the same
domain.
Schedule
When the Create backup schedule events in C•CURE 9000 check box is selected, the "System Database Backup"

Network Scenarios
Network Scenarios
There are 5 scenarios that you should consider when setting up the network environment for the SiteServer network
appliance. The scenarios are:
■ Scenario 1- One Intranet/Internet connection out to a WAN.
■ Scenario 2 - Scenario 1 with a redundant connection to the WAN.
■ Scenario 3 - Two bridged NICs, both exposed to the WAN.
■ Scenario 4 - One MC exposed to the WAN and one MC for private static connections.
■ Scenario 5 - Two private static NICs bridged together.
38 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 SiteServer Configuration Guide
EFTA01223779
Network Scenarios
Scenario 1: One Intranet/Internet connection out to a WAN
Scenario 1 is a common way of implementing the network. Typically, in this scenario the iSTARs and Clients are not
physically close and are connected to switches across the WAN. This is the way that most C•CURE 9000 systems
are connected. Software House recommends using DHCP for this method.

C•CURE 9000 SiteServer Configuration Guide Chapter 2 39
EFTA01223780
Network Scenarios
Scenario 2: Scenario 1 with a redundant connection to the WAN
Scenario 2 is basically the same as scenario 1 with a redundant connection in Eth1. Typically, Eth0 and Eth 1 are
connected to separate switches, resulting in redundancy from the SiteServer to the intranet. In other words if the EthO
electronics, the EthO connector, the network cable, or the switch port fails, the unit will continue to work through the
redundant Eth1 port. EthO and Eth1 are bridged and the bridge is set to DHCP.

40 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 SiteServer Configuration Guide
EFTA01223781
Network Scenarios
Scenario 3: Two bridged NICs, both exposed to the WAN
Scenario 3 is logically the same as Scenario 1 but is useful when the connections such as i5PARs and Clients are
physically close to the Site Server.
When the NICs are bridged, the HostID changes and a new license is required.
NOTE
Figure 18: Scenario 3
Web Client Monitor Client
C•CURE 9000 SiteSereer Configuration Guide Chapter 2 41
EFTA01223782
Network Scenarios
Scenario 4: One NIC exposed to the WAN with one NIC for private static
connections
Scenario 4 is a variant of Scenario 3 in that some of the connections are local. An important difference is that, the
devices connected to the Eth1 are isolated from the Intranet. There are three advantages to this:
■ The device (in this case Web Client) is more secure since it is not exposed to the WAN.
■ In many customer configurations, the customer gets charged for the number of IP addresses he/she places on the
network. This configuration reduces the number of IPs.
■ The local devices can connect directly to the SiteServer rather than a hub or switch.

Network Scenarios
Scenario 5: Two private static NICs bridged together
Scenario 5 is a totally private LAN. There is no connection to a WAN or the Intranet. Use all static IP addresses,
unless you provide DHCP and DNS Servers. This method is the most secure as there is no possibility of outside
influence from the WAN or Intranet. To accommodate the various devices, use switches and hubs whenever
necessary.
When the NICs are bridged, the HostID changes and a new license is required.

C•CURE 9000 Database Backup Purging
C•CURE 9000 Database Backup Purging
C•CURE 9000 SiteServer automatically retains the last five C•CURE 9000 Database Backups. This is the default
setting. Older backups are automatically deleted as new backups are retained. This is configured as a Windows
Scheduled Task and is set to execute once every week on Sundays at 3:00 AM.
The schedule of this "SiteServerPurge" task can be changed from the Windows Task Scheduler GUI. Refer to the
Windows Task Scheduler help for more details.
This tool is set to run under the "Administrator" account of the C•CURE 9000 SiteServer machine. If the user is
disabled or removed, then this task will not run.
To Change the Number of C•CURE 9000 Database Backups Retained
1. Navigate to O \ Program Files \ Tyco \ SiteServer PurgeTool.
2. Open the configuration file "SiteServerPurgeToolConfig.xml".
3. Change the "KeepNumberOfBackups" Value to the desired number.
4. Save the file.
The "SiteServerPurge" task can be disabled or deleted from the Windows Task Scheduler GUI. If a new backup folder
path is configured via the Configuration Wizard or the Startup Dashboard, then that path will be updated in the
above "SiteServerPurgeTool.xml" configuration file automatically.
The Backup Path location in the "SiteServerPurgeToolConfig.xml" file is not updated when backup
NOTE path directly is updated from the C•CURE 9000 Administration Station.

C•CURE 9000 Standalone to SAS Migration Utility
C•CURE 9000 Standalone to SAS Migration Utility
The C•CURE Standalone to SAS Migration Utility is used to merge a standalone C•CURE 9000 server into an
existing C•CURE 9000 Enterprise site. A C•CURE 9000 Enterprise consists of a single Master Application Server
(MAS) with one or more Satellite Application Servers (SAS).
If you decide to convert your standalone C•CURE 9000 server to a SAS, ensure that you have a
NOTE valid license for the new SAS that includes the Application Server option before you run the
migration utility. Otherwise, you will not be able to start the new SAS when the migration is
completed.
The SiteServer uses SQL Express, limiting the size the database to 10 Gigabytes.
See the C•CURE 9000 Standalone to SAS Migration Utility User Guide for the Standalone to SAS Migration process. The
user guide is located in C: \ Documents.

Re-imaging the SiteServer
Re-imaging the SiteServer
This section describes how to go back to the SiteServer factory default settings (re-image).
Re-imaging will re-format the entire CV drive and, consequently, erase all the data.
■ If you are unsure about when the re-imaging is necessary, please contact Technical Support.
■ When the disk is re-formatted and re-imaged, the Disk Volume Serial number changes, resulting
in the HostlD changing. It will be necessary to re-license the C•CURE 9000 when this happens.
Re-imaging would most likely be required for the following reasons:
• The Windows Operating system is corrupted.
• If there is an upgrade problem, sometimes it's best to upgrade the database on a separate system, then restore
it onto a "clean" installation image of the latest version on the SiteServer.
• SQL Corruption (master or tempdb databases) where an SQL uninstall has been tried and was unsuccessful.
• Failed version upgrade (using the standard process) that sometimes requires applying a patch to the SQL or
upgrading SQL to a newer version.
• Unable to repair or uninstall the C•CURE 9000, even if Windows and SQL are working.
USB Boot Drive Content
The re-image boot drive has the required files (such as bootmsr.efi, disksetupspt) to make it a boot disk. The disk has
a 32 GB capacity, and the image takes about 9 GB.
Do not use the boot disk for other purposes. It should only be used for re-imaging.
In the event that you do not have the USB boot disk, it can be ordered from Software House. See Ordering Codes on
Page 20.
To Re-Image Using the Image Recovery USB
1. Power off the system.
2. Ensure that the Mouse cable is plugged into the second USB connection from the right, and the image recovery
USB is plugged into the first USB from the right. See Figure 23 on Page 52.

MMC Services
MMC Services indicate the status of Services running in the system. Software House CrossFire services and SQL
Services are visible in Figure 28 on Page 58.
The Crossfire Framework Service must be started for proper operation of the C•CURE 9000. Software House
recommends that you start them from the Server Configuration utility. If you start a Service and it stops after a short
time, it is probably either a license problem or a login problem.
Various other Driver Services, such as iSTAR or Video Edge must be started if you are using those devices.
