Cause

Pelco Mobile will not connect with Pelco API Bundle even though ports are open, telnet is successful and netstat -ano is listening due to a login failure.

Login failure with SerenityAPI: Go to C:\Users\DSNVSUser\AppData\Local\Pelco\DSSerenityAPI
Open the SerenityAPIService with Notepad, scroll down to the bottom of the text file and you will see "Time stamp SerenityAPI: IntegralSystem exception: Login failed for user admin."
