Installing LecNet2™ Software and USB Driver

LecNet2™ is a Graphic User Interface (GUI) designed to allow easy setup and monitoring of DM components using Windows® 2000 or XP computer systems.

LecNet2™ includes the necessary Control Panels to configure and monitor all the DM series products plus the Venue Modular Receiver system.

Installing LecNet2™ Software

1.Use the computer system’s control panel to remove any previously installed versions of LecNet2™ software. (This will ensure you are using the latest release.)

2.Insert the LecNet2™ program disk supplied with your system into the computer system’s CD-ROM drive.

3.The CD should automatically start the installation procedure. If it doesn't, click "Start" on the WIndows Task Bar then click "Run..." Enter the Drive number followed by "Setup.exe" then click OK.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions to install the LecNet2 software.

Installing the LecNet2™ USB Driver

There are two methods of connecting a Windows®- based computer system to the DM component, either via a USB cable or an RS-232 cable. Although the USB port offers significantly increased speed and conve- nience over standard RS-232 links, it does require the installation of a LecNet2™ USB driver.

The LecNet2 USB driver is not part of the standard Windows® 2000 and XP driver libraries. As a result, connecting a computer system to a DM system for the first time is different than subsequent installations. There are a few minor differences between installing the LecNet2 USB drivers on a Windows 2000 versus a Windows XP system.
