About the Discovery Agent
The SiteConfig Network Configuration Connect Kit, also known as the Discovery Agent, is a
SiteConfig prerequisite that must be installed on all managed devices to allow for discovery and
configuration by SiteConfig. Any version of the Discovery Agent supports discovery, so if the
device has the Discovery Agent installed, it is not necessary to upgrade it before discovering the
device with SiteConfig.
When you install the SiteConfig application on your control point PC, a subfolder called Discovery
Agent Setup is created under your install folder that contains the Discovery Agent package. You
are required to add and deploy this package to all your deployment groups to keep this software
updated.
