Installing LecNet2
™
Software and USB Driver
LecNet2™ is a Graphic User Interface (GUI) designed
to allow easy setup and monitoring of DM compo-
nents 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 WIn-
dows 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 Lec-
Net2 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.
USB Driver Installation Windows XP
When the DM is connected to a Windows XP computer
system for the very first time, the Windows
®
“New Hard-
ware Found Wizard” automatically opens.
First Time Installation
When a LecNet2™ device is connected to the PC for

CD-ROM drive.
