Chapter 5 Managing stand-alone K2 systems with SiteConfig
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 .
The New Site Wizard opens.
