Configuring the corporate LAN
SiteConfig needs to reference that DNS server.
• If a device has software that SiteConfig supports and the devices is on the corporate
LAN, such as Aurora Edit LD workstations, you can use SiteConfig to deploy
software to the device via the corporate LAN.
If the device is on the corporate LAN and is not on a network that is man-
aged by SiteConfig, you cannot configure network settings on the device.
