The PC on which
you are installing SiteConfg must meet system requirements.
The PC must be
connected to the LAN on which all the devices to be managed are connected.
There must be
no routed paths to the devices to be managed.
Procure SiteConfig
installation files from the Grass Valley website or via other distribution
mechanisms.
The following directory and files are required to install
SiteConfig:
DotNetFx directory
ProductFrameUISetup.msi
setup.exe
If you already have a version of SiteConfig installed, go to
Windows
Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it.
Double-click
setup.exe.
The installation wizard opens.
Work through the wizard pages, clicking
Next and
Finish.
If the PC does not have the appropriate version of Microsoft
.NET, the SiteConfig installation programs installs it.
Open the Windows
operating system Services control panel on the PC and look for an entry called
" ProductFrame Discovery Agent".
The Discovery Agent
must be installed on the SiteConfig PC so that the PC can be discovered by
SiteConfig and added to the system description as a managed device. This is
necessary to ensure name resolution in SiteConfig's hosts file.
The Discovery Agent is
also known as the Network Configuration Connect Kit. For example, in Windows
Add/Remove Programs, it can be displayed as either Network Configuration
Connect Kit or SiteConfig Discovery Agent.
Proceed as follows:
If the Discovery
Agent is not installed, navigate to the SiteConfig install location's Discovery
Agent Setup subdirectory and double-click the
DiscoveryAgentServiceSetup.msi
file. This launches the setup program and installs the Discovery Agent. Follow
the setup wizard to complete installation. A restart is required after
installation. Then continue with the next step in this procedure.
If the Discovery
Agent is already installed, continue with the next step in this procedure.
If not already
configured, configure the SiteConfig PC with a valid Ethernet IP address for
the LAN using Windows Network Connections.
If you are not going to
be using SiteConfig to manage system hosts files, put the system hosts file on
the SiteConfig PC.
