Computer Requirements & Software Installation 
 

Installing QSControl.net is relatively simple. All that is necessary is to choose the folder where the program is to be stored (the default 
setting is acceptable for most applications). It is recommended the system meet the following 

minimum

 requirements:  

 
1- IBM PC compatible computer with a Pentium 4 processor.  
2- Processor speed of 1.4 GHz (2 GHz or faster recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS units).  
3- 512 megabytes of RAM (1 gigabyte recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS units).  
4- Hard drive with at least 500 MB of free space for the program and files you generate.  
5- Display resolution of 1024 X 768, 16-bit color.  
6- CD-ROM drive to install the software.  
7- 10BaseT/100BaseTx network interface card  
8- Windows XP Professional, XP Home, and Windows Vista operating systems. Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT4, and ME platforms are not 
supported.  
 
Note: If system is used for real-time adjustments and configuration of audio systems, it is recommended that all Windows Power Options 
(located in the Windows Control Panel) features be disabled. Display, hard drive, system standby and hibernation settings should be set to 
“Never”. This avoids waiting for the system to “wake-up” if adjustment is needed after an elapsed period of time.  

 

To Install QSControl.net:  
 

1

- Start computer and start Windows.  

2- If there are any programs running, please close them now. Be sure to leave Windows running.  
3- Place the QSControl.net CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. It is also possible to select 

Start-Run 

and browse for the file named setup.exe 

on the CD.  
4- Click the Install QSControl.net button.  
5- Follow the installation instructions on the screen.  

 

To Uninstall QSControl.net:  
 

1- Click the 

Start 

menu button and choose 

Settings/Control Panel

.  

2- Double-click the 

Add/Remove Program 

icon.  

3- Select QSControl.net from the list, then click 

Add/Remove

.  

4- Click Yes to begin uninstalling QSControl.net. 
 

Connections 

 

1-Gently separate the NAC-100 from its rear panel using the side tabs. 
 
2-Run the category-5 cable through the access hole in the center of the NAC-100.   
 
3-Connect one end of a category-5 cable terminated with an RJ45 plug into the RJ45

 

receptacle on the circuit board of the NAC-100 by 

inserting the RJ45 plug into the receptacle with the lock-tab oriented away from the circuit board.  Push  firmly until the connector locks 
into place (usually an audible “click” can be heard).  
 
4-Connect the other end to the appropriate QSControl.net network port.   (See the Networking Diagrams included later in this manual.)
