Installing/upgrading siteconfig – Grass Valley SiteConfig v.2.1 User Manual

Page 11

This is achieved if control network interfaces are all connected to the same switch or to multiple
switches interconnected with ISLs/trunks. If your site requires that other switches and/or routers be
in the network path, you must make sure that no restrictions are in place that block SiteConfig
protocols.

Also, do not install SiteConfig on a PC on which a drive from a managed device is mapped as an
administrative share (C$). For example, if you have a PC set up to run anti-virus software and for
this purpose you have network drives set up on the PC mapped to C$ shares on devices, then do not
use that PC to host SiteConfig and manage those devices.

For a given system, there should be just one instance of SiteConfig managing the system.
