About SiteConfig support on K2 devices
Before SiteConfig can be used to discover or manage a device, the device must meet the following
requirements:
•
The device must be a Microsoft Windows operating system device.
•
The device must have Microsoft .NET version 2.0 installed, as reported in the Windows
Add/Remove Programs control panel.
•
The SiteConfig Discovery Agent service must be running on the device, as reported in the
Windows Services control panel.
For K2 clients and K2 Media Servers shipped new from Grass Valley with K2 software version 7.0
or higher, these requirements are pre-installed. These requirements are pre-installed on recovery
images for these K2 systems as well. Therefore, if you suspect a problem with these requirements,
do not attempt to install SiteConfig support requirements. If you must restore SiteConfig support
requirements, re-image the K2 system.

Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
•
The Ethernet switch or switches that the support the control network are configured and

•
There are no routers between the control point PC and the devices to be discovered.
•

installed.
