Grass Valley SiteConfig Migration Instructions - Manual (Page 48)

3. To also view previously discovered devices that have already been assigned to a
device in the system description, select Show … currently assigned devices .
The currently assigned devices are added to the list. Viewing both assigned and
unassigned devices in this way can be helpful to verify the match between
discovered devices and placeholder devices.
4. In the row for each discovered device, view items on the Device Id drop-down list
to determine the match with placeholder devices, as follows:
• If SiteConfig finds a match between the device-type discovered and the
device-type of one or more placeholder devices, it displays those placeholder
devices in the list.
• If SiteConfig does not find a match between the device-type discovered and the
device-type of a placeholder device, no placeholder device is displayed in the
list.
5. In the row for a discovered device, click the Device Id drop-down list and select
the placeholder device that corresponds to the discovered device.
If there is no corresponding placeholder device currently in the system
description, you can select
Add to create a new placeholder device and then
assign the discovered device to it.
6. When discovered devices have been assigned, click OK to save settings and close.
7. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, select each of the devices to which
you assigned a discovered device.
Removing planned settings from a managed network interface
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The physical device you are configuring has been discovered and is assigned to a
device in the SiteConfig system description.
• SiteConfig has communication with the device.
• The device is defined in the system description with an appropriate network
interface.
Use this procedure to remove planned settings, if present, from network interfaces on
each discovered and assigned device in the SiteConfig system description. This allows
SiteConfig to use the current settings, as read from the actual device. Do this first for
the control network interface, and then for each remaining network interface on the
device.
1. In the Interfaces list view determine the interface to configure, as follows:
• Identify the interface with which SiteConfig is currently communicating,
indicated by the green star overlay icon. This should be the control network
interface.
• Verify that the interface over which SiteConfig is currently communicating is
in fact the interface defined for the control network in the system description.
