Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The SiteConfig control point PC has the SiteConfig Discovery Agent installed. The
Discovery Agent is also known as the Network Configuration Connect Kit. In
Windows Add/Remove Programs, it can be displayed as either Network
Configuration Connect Kit or SiteConfig Discovery Agent.
• The system description contains a control point PC placeholder device.
• The placeholder's control network interface is configured with the control network
IP address that is currently on the actual control point PC.
• 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.

those on the actual control point PC If this is the case, no further configuration
is required.
