Control point PC description
A control point PC runs applications from which you operate, configure, and monitor
the K2 SAN. You can have one or more PCs that provide control point functionality.
You must have at least one control point PC on which you install and run the K2
System Configuration application.
The primary applications that run on a control point PC are as follows:
• The K2 System Configuration application
• SiteConfig
• Storage Utility
• AppCenter
• NetCentral
Refer to Chapter 11, Overview of K2 Storage Tools and the K2 AppCenter User Guide
for descriptions of these applications.
In addition, you can use the control point PC for the following applications:
• QuickTime
• Adobe Acrobat Reader
• Windows Remote Desktop Connection
You can purchase a control point PC from Grass Valley. In this case the PC has all
the above software pre-installed at the factory. When you receive the PC it is ready to
install on the K2 SAN control network and begin using with minimal configuration.
You can also build your own control point PC by installing and configuring software
on an existing PC. Refer to the K2 System Guide for specifications and instructions.
