Chapter 2 Using K2 Media Client system tools
If you have one or more K2 Storage Systems currently configured, the K2 System
Configuration application displays the systems in the tree view.
If you have not yet configured a K2 Storage System, the K2 System Configuration
application opens with the tree view blank. Refer to the installation chapters in the
K2 Storage System Instruction Manual to add and configure a new K2 Storage
System.
You can expand and select nodes in the tree view to view K2 Storage Systems,
individual devices, and configuration settings. When you do so, the K2 System
Configuration application displays information as found in a configuration file,
rather than continuously polling devices to get their latest information. The
configuration file is saved on the V: drive, along with the media files in the shared
storage system. The configuration file is updated and saved whenever you change
a configuration using the K2 System Configuration application. That is why you
must always use the K2 System Configuration application to change settings on the
storage system, so the most recently changed configurations will always be stored
in the configuration file and displayed.

• Storage Utility for the K2 Storage System.
