drive on the computer system that will be
used to set up and control the Venue
Receiver.

Installing the LecNet2
™
USB Driver
There are two methods of connecting a WIndows
®
-
based computer system to the VR-Master, either via a
USB cable or an RS-232 cable. However, although the
USB port offers significantly increased speed and
convenience 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 library. As a result,
connecting a computer system to the VR 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.
