About SiteConfig support on Aurora Playout 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 Aurora Playout devices shipped new from Grass Valley with software version 6.5 or higher,
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,
refer to the SiteConfig Migration Instructions for complete information on SiteConfig support
requirements.
Discovering devices with SiteConfig
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The Ethernet switch or switches that support the control network are configured and operational.
If multiple switches, ISLs are connected and trunks configured.
• The PC that hosts SiteConfig is communicating on the control network.
• There are no routers between the PC that hosts SiteConfig and the devices to be discovered.
