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 2.0 installed, as reported in the
Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel.
• The ProductFrame 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.
