Grass Valley SiteConfig v.2.1 - Manual (Page 30)

Location of SiteConfig files
SiteConfig uses the user profile directory, as currently configured in the Windows operating system,
to store and access files. The user profile directory can be different on different control point PCs,
depending on the Windows operating system installation. In the user profile directory you can find
the
Application Data\GrassValley directory, which is where SiteConfig stores its files. The
complete path for a typical control point PC is as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GrassValley
In this directory you can find system descriptions files, which have the scsd extension. You can
also find other SiteConfig directories and files.
Importing a system description
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The SiteConfig PC has access to the system description file you are importing.
1. Open SiteConfig and proceed as follows:
• If a dialog box opens that gives you the choice of creating or importing a system description,
it means SiteConfig does not have access to a system description file. Click
Import .
• If the SiteConfig main window opens, click File | Import .
The Import System Description dialog box opens.
2. Browse to and select a system description file ( *.scsd ) and click Open .
The current system description is closed and the system description you are importing is displayed
in SiteConfig.
Importing a K2 System Configuration file
If you are using SiteConfig for the first time at a system that has already been commissioned and
if the system has a K2 SAN, you can import the K2 System Configuration application's XML file
into your system description.
1. Open SiteConfig and proceed as follows:
• Click the File | Import menu item.
The Import System Description dialog box opens.
2. From the Files of type drop-down list select K2 SAN Config (.xml) , browse to the location of the
XML file, select the file, and click Open.
SiteConfig creates new sites in the system description representing each K2 SAN it finds in the
XML file. SiteConfig adds placeholder devices for each device in the K2 SAN. SiteConfig might
popup windows asking you to resolve devices to equivalent device models in SiteConfig. Choose
the appropriate device model.
