About SiteConfig
SiteCong is Grass Valley's tool for network conguration and software deployment. SiteCong
is a ProductFrame application. ProductFrame is an integrated platform of tools and product
distribution processes for system installation and conguration.
You can use SiteCong as a stand-alone tool for planning and system design, even before you have
any devices installed or cabled. You can dene 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, SiteCong runs on a designated PC. It discovers devices,
congures their network settings, and manages host les. SiteCong also manages software
installations and upgrades and provides a unied software package with compatible versions for
deployment across multi-product systems.
You should use SiteCong for network conguration and software deployment at installation and
throughout the life of the system in your facility. This enforces consistent policy and allows SiteCong
to keep a record of changes, which makes the system easier to maintain and aids in troubleshooting
should a problem arise.
SiteCong displays information from a system description le, which is an XML le.
