Grass Valley K2 System Guide v.9.0 - Manual (Page 146)

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.
