Install SiteConfig on control point PC
Work through the following topics to install the SiteCong application on the control point PC.
About installing SiteConfig
SiteCong uses a protocol that involves sending Ethernet broadcast messages to discover and
congure devices. To enable this protocol to work correctly, there must be unrestricted network
access between the PC that hosts SiteCong and the devices to be discovered.
This is achieved if control network interfaces are all connected to the same switch or to multiple
switches interconnected with ISLs/trunks. If your site requires that other switches and/or routers be
in the network path, you must make sure that no restrictions are in place that block SiteCong
protocols.
Also, do not install SiteCong on a PC on which a drive from a managed device is mapped as an
administrative share (C$). For example, if you have a PC set up to run anti-virus software and for
this purpose you have network drives set up on the PC mapped to C$ shares on devices, then do not
use that PC to host SiteCong and manage those devices.
For a given system, there should be just one instance of SiteCong managing the system.
