SiteConfig creates a Site under the top-level System node with networks and groups
representing the K2 SAN it finds in the XML file. SiteConfig adds placeholder devices
for each device in the K2 SAN.

Creating a system description for stand-alone K2 clients

Do not do this task if:

You already have or are developing a SiteConfig system description managing
other devices in your facility and that system description has the correct networks
and connectivity for your stand-alone K2 clients. In this case, skip ahead to the
task in which you add a group to the system description for your stand-alone K2
clients.

Do this task if:

You do not yet have a system description appropriate for managing your stand-alone
K2 clients.

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

Create

.

If the SiteConfig main window opens, click

File | New

.

The Create New System Description dialog box opens.

2. In the Create New System Description dialog box, enter the name of the file for

the system description you are creating.
It is recommended that you store the system description file in the default
location, rather than browsing to store the file in a different location. SiteConfig
always accesses the default location.

3. Click

OK

.

A blank system description loads, which displays just the top-level System node
in the tree view.

4. In the

Network Configuration | Devices

tree view, right-click the

System

node or a

Site

node and select

Add Site

.
