The SMD HMI provided with SureSeT switchgear is a Microsoft Windows based industrial computer. EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert Runtime is used to launch the SMD HMI interface; such software automatically launches when Microsoft Windows starts, and it may be started anytime by using the shortcut available on the Microsoft Windows desktop.

It is required to log into Microsoft Windows to set up the SMD HMI interface. Follow the instructions below.

1. Microsoft Windows login

   Power on the SMD HMI and log in Microsoft Windows. The username is “SureSeT” and the Password is “SMD_Digital_1”. This log in features administrator rights. In case modifications to the Microsoft Windows account are needed, it may be required to enter answers to security questions. As factory default, 3 randomized questions are going to selected and the answer to all of them will be "SureSeT". To comply with cybersecurity recommended practices, it is recommended to change such questions and answers in the MS Windows account settings.

2. Modify factory provided Microsoft Windows credentials

   All the SMD HMI provided with SureSeT switchgear are shipped from the factory with the same factory default Microsoft Windows username and password (the Username is "SureSeT" and the Password is "SMD_Digital_1").

   To comply with cybersecurity recommended practices, it is recommended to change such password during the switchgear commissioning. This change may be done in the Microsoft Windows account settings after log in. Record and store the username and password.

If the HMI power supply is lost and restored, it is necessary to enter the Microsoft Windows username and password in order to launch the SMD HMI interface. In case an automatic restart is desired after the power supply is restored, it is possible to configure Microsoft Windows to avoid asking for username and password. The automatic restart setup is strongly recommended in case of "faceless" HMI applications because local user interfaces are not available with such options, and the connection of external peripherals (keyboard, mouse, and display) would be required to enter Microsoft Windows credentials. The procedure for such configuration is detailed on the following page.

1. Open the Microsoft windows command prompt and run the “netplwiz” command:

   Administrators command prompt running the “netplwiz” command

   

   Uncheck the “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer” box in the User Accounts dialog box and tap on “OK” to confirm,

   Windows User accounts screen

   

2. Enter the Microsoft Windows account password twice to confirm and conclude the procedure.

Microsoft Windows will not ask for username and password entry at start up from now on.

The Eth2 port is not intended to be connected to any other local systems and shall only be connected to the Wi-Fi access point. IP readdressing will not be necessary.

In case the IP addressing of the HMI (and the other SMD devices like the main controller and the EcoStruxure Panel Servers) is required per customer corporate policies, it is possible to modify the Eth1 port ethernet adapter settings.If this change is required, end users may change the SMD HMI IP address and the EcoStruxure Panel Servers’ IP addresses, but they may not modify the SMD main controller IP address. Contact your local Schneider Electric representative in case such modification is needed. It is recommended to provide the required IP addressing, subnet masking, and gateway addressing as specifications for the switchgear factory order to allow the required configuration to be completed prior to switchgear shipping from the factory.

As a factory default, all the components of the digital monitoring and control system SureSeT switchgear are synchronized to the SMD HMI time via NTP (Network Time Protocol). The SMD HMI is configured as the NTP server of the system. In case the SMD provided with the SureSeT switchgear is required to be synchronized to an external NTP server, the HMI may be set to be an NTP client to receive time synchronization requests from an external NTP server. Instructions on how to set the HMI for such purpose are listed below:

1. Start from the SMD HMI Microsoft Windows desktop (if EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert Runtime is in full screen mode, swipe from the outer left edge of the screen towards the center of the screen and create a new desktop).

2. Open command prompt by running the application as an administrator.

3. Type “C:\windows\system32>w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:“XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX” /syncfromflags:manual /update” (where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the external NTP Server) and press Enter.

To verify proper time synchronization the following steps may be followed:

1. Open command prompt by running the application as an administrator

2. Type “C:\windows\system32>w32tm /query /source” and press Enter.

3. The return message shows the NTP server’s IP address that the HMI Microsoft Windows Time service is synchronizing with. The IP address should match the one previously entered.

4. The “C:\windows\system32>w32tm /resync” and press Enter to force a time synchronization command. The SMD HMI date and time should now match the NTP server date and time.

Before being able to access the SMD HMI interface, it is required to modify the SMD factory default credentials and log into the SMD. Follow the instructions below.
