Configuring the corporate LAN
4 October 2010
can con gure your system description to include the corporate LAN for the following
purposes:
If a device, such as the MediaFrame server, is on the corporate LAN yet is a
SiteCon g managed device, then SiteCon g needs to know the connection for
each network interface on the device, including the corporate LAN connection.
Otherwise, SiteCon g displays error messages.
If a device uses a DNS server on the corporate LAN for name resolution, SiteCon g
needs to reference that DNS server.
If a device has software that SiteCon g supports and the devices is on the corporate
LAN, such as Aurora Edit LD workstations, you can use SiteCon g to deploy
software to the device via the corporate LAN.
If the device is on the corporate LAN and is not on a network that is managed by
SiteCon g, you cannot con gure network settings on the device.
Con guring the corporate LAN
If you have Aurora Edit LD workstations that are on a network that SiteCon g does
not manage, such as your corporate LAN, you can con gure your system description
to allow software deployment to those devices. This method uses SiteCon g as a
software deployment tool only, as you cannot con gure network settings on the device
or manage the device's network. With this method you create an unmanaged network
in SiteCon g, add the DNS server(s) to the control point PC, then when you add the
PC, edit the control interface and set it to the unmanaged network. This allows
communication with the Aurora Edit LD workstations. Then add a placeholder device
for each of your Aurora Edit LD workstations. With this method you do not use
SiteCon g device discovery, and it is not necessary to install a discovery agent on the
Aurora Edit LD workstation. Rather, you con gure SiteCon g to look up the address
via DNS or hosts le. This allows the Aurora Edit LD workstation to communicate
as if it was a discovered device. SiteCon g can then deploy software to the device.
If necessary, get help from your IT department to ensure that the SiteCon g PC is
con gured to communicate with the Aurora Edit LD workstations on the corporate
network. If SiteCon g can ping it, it can deploy software.
