for references to an updated version that contains additional important information.
Work through the following topics to install the SiteConfig application on the control
point PC.
About installing SiteConfig
SiteConfig uses a protocol that involves sending Ethernet broadcast messages to
discover and configure devices. To enable this protocol to work correctly, there must
be unrestricted network access between the control point PC and the devices to be
discovered.
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 as the SiteConfig control
point PC that manages those devices.
