SiteConfig - a ProductFrame application
ProductFrame is an integrated platform of tools and product distribution processes for
system installation and configuration. SiteConfig is a ProductFrame application and
it is the recommended tool for network configuration and software deployment.
You can use SiteConfig as a stand-alone tool for planning and system design, even
before you have any devices installed or cabled. You can define networks, IP
addresses, hostnames, interfaces, and other network parameters. You can add devices,
group devices, and modify device roles in the system.
As you install and commission systems, SiteConfig runs on the control point PC. It
discovers devices, configures their network settings, and manages host files.
SiteConfig also manages software installations and upgrades and provides a unified
software package for deployment across multi-product systems.
You should use SiteConfig for network configuration and software deployment at
installation and throughout the life of the system in your factility. This enforces
consistent policy and allows SiteConfig to capture changes, which makes the system
easier to maintain and aids in troubleshooting should a problem arise.
To open SiteConfig, do the following:
1. On the control point PC open the SiteConfig shortcut on the desktop.
The SiteConfig application opens.
SiteConfig displays information from a system description file, which is an XML
file.
