About Harmonic MediaGrid Configuration
Before configuring your Harmonic MediaGrid system, you must first configure your network
switches. If you have purchased your switches from Harmonic then you may configure them by
running a utility called the Network Configuration Assistant. For instructions on running the
Network Configuration Assistant, continue to Configuring the Network Switches. If you did not
purchase switches from Harmonic then contact Technical Support or your network administrator
for assistance with configuring your network switches.
