About Control Panel, SiteConfig, and K2Config settings

During system commissioning or system reconfiguration, the SiteConfig and K2Config applications are first used to set up or modify K2 SAN and network configurations. The GV STRATUS Control Panel application is then used to complete the setup of the GV STRATUS system-wide workflow components.

The GV STRATUS Control Panel application imports the configuration information and populates the GV STRATUS view of the available K2 systems. For example, information about K2 SANs comes from K2Config while information about standalone K2 Summit systems comes from SiteConfig. The information transfer is uni-directional, where the GV STRATUS Control Panel application imports the SiteConfig/K2Config generated configurations.

Use of the GV STRATUS Control Panel application requires the GV STRATUS Core server to be running, and Grass Valley recommends the GV STRATUS Control Panel is only configured on the Core server. If, during maintenance or commissioning, SiteConfig and K2Config are used to setup or modify systems while the GV STRATUS Core server is turned off, it is important to synchronize K2Config information to GV STRATUS Control Panel before attempting to use the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.

Note: While the GV STRATUS Control Panel application allows you to enter device names and other values as free-form text, it is not recommended for use at customer sites as manual entry can result in text errors.
