communication with the Aurora Edit LD workstations. Then add a placeholder device
for each of your Aurora Edit LD workstations. With this method you do not use
SiteConfig device discovery, and it is not necessary to install a discovery agent on the
Aurora Edit LD workstation. Rather, you configure SiteConfig to look up the address
via DNS or hosts file. This allows the Aurora Edit LD workstation to communicate
as if it was a discovered device. SiteConfig can then deploy software to the device.
If necessary, get help from your IT department to ensure that the SiteConfig PC is
configured to communicate with the Aurora Edit LD workstations on the corporate
network. If SiteConfig can ping it, it can deploy software.
