Software that meets these requirements is bundled in various components and installation programs,
some of which are available at your SiteConfig install location as follows:
• The ConnectivityKit folder contains Microsoft .NET. You can copy the contents of this folder
to a device and then run setup.exe to install the software.
• The DiscoveryAgent Setup folder contains the SiteConfig Discovery Agent. You can copy the
contents of this folder to a device and then run setup.exe to install the software.

About credentials in SiteConfig
SiteConfig requires administrative privileges on devices in order to perform most of the network
configuration and deployment tasks. For known devices types, SiteConfig has a default administrator
account and password. These default credentials depend on the SiteConfig version, so check your
SiteConfig Release Notes for any changes. When you add a device based on a known device type,
SiteConfig references the default administrator account and password. Then, when you use remote
desktop or perform software deployment to the device, SiteConfig automatically uses these
credentials. These credentials are called "global" credentials for the device since the same credentials
are used on all devices of that type in the system.
You can choose to override the default credentials for a given device type. For example, if you have
specified a different administrator account or a different password on the devices when commissioning
the system, then you want SiteConfig to use these modified credentials.
It is possible to also override the default credentials for a single device.

About the corporate LAN and SiteConfig
GV STRATUS client PCs can be on the corporate LAN, which is considered an unmanaged network
in SiteConfig. Since SiteConfig does not manage the network, you cannot use SiteConfig to configure
network settings on those GV STRATUS client PCs. However, you must still configure your system
description to include the corporate LAN, for the following purposes:
• A GV STRATUS client PC should be a SiteConfig managed device, so SiteConfig needs to
know the connection for each network interface on the device, including the corporate LAN
connection. Otherwise, SiteConfig displays error messages.
• If a GV STRATUS client PC uses a DNS server on the corporate LAN for name resolution,
SiteConfig needs to reference that DNS server.
