Grass Valley SiteConfig Migration Instructions - Manual (Page 52)

• The device name of the control point PC placeholder is same as the host name of
the actual control point PC.
In this procedure you discover the physical control point PC and assign it to the
placeholder control point PC in the system description.
1. Open SiteConfig on the control point PC.
2. Discover devices and identify the control point PC discovered device.
3. Assign the discovered device to the control point PC placeholder.
4. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, select the control point PC.
5. In the Interfaces list view, right-click the control network interface and select Edit .
The Managed Network Interface Details dialog box opens.
6. Evaluate IP settings as follows:
• If only Current settings are displayed (the Planned tab is not displayed), it means
the planned settings you configured on the placeholder device are identical to
those on the actual control point PC If this is the case, no further configuration
is required.
• If both a Current tab and a Planned tab are displayed, it means the planned
settings you configured on the placeholder device are not identical to those on
the actual control point PC. If this is the case, do not apply planned settings.
Doing so overwrites IP settings on the actual control point PC, which stops
network communication. Instead, select the
Planned tab and click Remove .
NOTE: Do not click OK if planned settings (red text) are displayed.
7. When you are sure that only Current settings are displayed and that those are the
current valid settings for the control point PC, click Apply , then OK to save settings
and close.
Pinging devices from the control point PC
You can send the ping command to one or more devices in the system description
over the network to which the control point PC is connected. Typically this is the
control network.
1. In the Network Configuration | Networks tree view, select a network, site, or system
node.
2. In the Devices list view, select one or more devices. Use Ctrl + Click or Shift +
Click to select multiple devices.
3. Right-click the selected device or devices and select Ping .
The Ping Devices dialog box opens and lists the selected device or devices.
The Ping Devices dialog box reports the progress and results of the ping command
per device.
