Installing and configuring support for Windows 10 clients
With the Windows 10 operating system, additional steps are required for generic iSCSI or LAN Connect clients, to support configuration via SiteConfig and K2Config. The system requires the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework. The complete procedure is as follows:
- On the PC that hosts the SiteConfig application, navigate to the directory at which SiteConfig is installed. By default the location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Grass Valley\SiteConfig.
- Copy the contents of the ConnectivityKit directory and the DiscoveryAgent Setup directory to a USB thumb drive, network drive, or some other shared location to make it easier to distribute to each PC.
-
To install and configure SiteConfig support locally at a control
network PC, do the following:
- Copy the contents of the ConnectivityKit directory and the DiscoveryAgent Setup directory to the control network PC.
- On the control network PC, check the Microsoft .NET Framework version and compare to system requirements for the software you intend to deploy with SiteConfig.
- If necessary, install .NET software and the required Windows update. You can find the installation file for a .NET version in the ConnectivityKit directory.
- On the control network PC, run \DiscoveryAgent Setup\setup.exe. The install wizard opens.
- Work through the install wizard and when prompted to select the device type, select GenericDevice.
- Finish the install wizard.
-
Open firewall port settings on
the PC as follows.
