Software Installation
You need a Windows PC running RHAON software in order to maximize the performance of RHAON empowered loudspeakers and
your RHAON system. You can use RHAON software during the design stage, for system setup, tuning and commissioning, and for
remote control and supervision. You can disconnect the computer from the network after commissioning the system, if you or your
client will not be using RHAON’s system supervision capabilities.
RHAON software will run on any PC computer that meets or exceeds the following requirements.
Processor / Speed:
Pentium / 800 MHz minimum (faster recommended, especially for large systems)
RAM: 256 MB minimum (more recommended, especially for large systems)
Interface:
At least one Network Interface Card (NIC) with a 100 BaseT (100 MB/second) or faster
Ethernet Port; two NICs are needed if the computer will also be used to e-mail alerts
Operating System:
Windows XP
Associated Software: .NET Framework 3.5 or higher (supplied with RHAON installation CD)
Screen Resolution:
1024 x 768 or higher
To install the software insert the RHAON Installation Disk into the computer’s CD drive. The installation program should start auto-
matically. If it doesn’t, go to your Start menu. Then select Settings/Control Panel & Add/Remove Programs. Click on Install to start
the installation manually.
If you have an older version of RHAON installed, a prompt will inform you that you must remove the older version before installing
the new version. Use Control Panel & Add/Remove Programs to remove the older version and then restart the Setup program.
The RHAON Setup window shown below will open.
Click on Next to proceed to the next step. Then follow the screen prompts until the installation is complete.
During the installation you will be asked if you want to install the CobraNet Components. Answer “Yes”, even if you will not be using
CobraNet digital audio distribution. These CobraNet files are needed by RHAON for control and supervision.
