Adding a Proxy Encoder to the SiteConfig system description

This topic applies to a GV STRATUS server that is a Proxy Encoder.

In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, right-click a group and select Add Device.
Configure settings for the device you are adding as follows:
- Family – Select GV STRATUS.
- Type – Select GV STRATUS Server.
- Model – Select GV STRATUS Proxy Encoder or GV STRATUS Proxy Encoder (Redundant iSCSI).
- Name – This is the device name, as displayed in the SiteConfig device tree view and device list view. This name can be different than the host name (network name). You can accept the default name or enter a name of your choice. Devices in the tree view are sorted alphabetically.
- Amount — Select the number of Proxy Encoders, according to your system design.
- Platform — Select x64.
- Control network– Select the control network.
- Starting Address – Select from the list of available addresses on the selected control network. If adding multiple devices, this is the starting address, with addresses assigned sequentially to each device added.
Click OK to save settings and close. SiteConfig adds the Proxy Encoder to the system description as a placeholder device.
Verify that unmanaged control network interface is configured correctly and modify if necessary.

Next, add the GV STRATUS server to the control network.
