About SiteConfig support on GV STRATUS devices
Before SiteConfig can be used to
discover or manage a device, the device must meet the following requirements:
- The device must be a Microsoft Windows operating system device.
- The device must have Microsoft .NET version 3.5 installed, as reported in the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel.
- The SiteConfig Discovery Agent service must be running on the device, as reported in the Windows Services control panel.
For GV STRATUS servers shipped new from Grass Valley, these requirements are pre-installed. These requirements are pre-installed on recovery images for these systems as well. Therefore, if you suspect a problem with these requirements, do not attempt to install SiteConfig support requirements. If you must restore SiteConfig support requirements, re-image the system.
GV STRATUS client PCs on the corporate LAN do not require the Discovery Agent because typically you do not use SiteConfig to discover or manage networking on these devices.
GV STRATUS client PCs on the control network do required the Discovery Agent.
Software that meets these
requirements is bundled in various components and installation programs, some
of which are available at your SiteConfig install location as follows:
- The ConnectivityKit folder contains Microsoft .NET. You can copy the contents of this folder to a device and then run setup.exe to install the software.
- The DiscoveryAgent Setup folder contains the SiteConfig Discovery Agent. You can copy the contents of this folder to a device and then run setup.exe to install the software.
